Top O' the Mornin'! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I forgot to put my webshots account info up in the last post. It takes forrr-evvvv-errrr...forrrr-evvv-errrr (reference to The Sandlot) to upload pictures on to their website. And a couple times it would just freeze on me and I would get impatient (shocker, I know) and wouldn't go back for a couple days. But here is the info...let me know if there are any problems with it!

Tomorrow night I'm attempting to make my first dinner here. It's been in the planning process for quite some time....I'll be making breaded chicken cutlet and macaroni and cheese. Generally Helle just makes all the food...and then my host sisters and I are in charge of setting the table and doing the dishes (even though it usually ends up being Helle and I doing the dishes..hmmmm?) so it'll be a different experience for Helle, I think! A few days ago I asked if I could help her and she said that I could turn the potatos that were frying on the stove. So I stood there and was doing my job and somehow managed to knock over the vegetable oil with my arm. First Helle just laughed at me. Then she said "you had to knock over the most difficult thing to clean up" and then she said "the first time you help with dinner and you made a mess...you are never helping again!!" and then under her breath I heard her say "dumb American!" no actually she said that outloud...only kidding!! It was pretty funny. Oh and I used some sort of magical cloth wipe to clean up my mess and then put it next to the sink. Well later after dinner she was trying to wring it out....and realized that it was the oily wipe. Oops! We had a good laugh. The next night I asked if I could dump oil all around the house. She told me that wouldn't be nice. The point of that story is that I hope tomorrow goes better than that! I'm also going to make Irish potatos and chocolate peanut butter bars this week so I can leave half here and take half for my friends for our London trip.

If anything goes catestrophically wrong I'll let you know :)
