Within the first hour we arrived I managed to blow a fuse. I brought a power strip intending to use it with the adapters we brought. I plugged it into an adapter, plugged the adapter into the wall and all the lights went out.
Yesterday we stayed in ‘hygge’ or cosy style. He cleaned. I baked. This is how it works in the states. We are growing accustomed to our temporary home.
Brian did the laundry. I applaud him. The washer and dryer are completely labeled in Danish. I found a manual in English for the dryer which helped.
He set the dryer to run. It would, for a minute or so, repeatedly. With the manual, he did a closer inspection. There is a compartment to collect lint and condensation together. We believe that the lint had not been cleaned out in a very long time. When he was done cleaning it, it worked just fine.
The washer has a setting called Skyl/Centrifugering. It sounds like an airplane taking off. But when it is done the clothes are closer to dry and they are easier to move to the dryer. Most things here are efficient.
A few days back we went to lunch with the Executive Director of the school and were gifted a cookbook. If you know me, you know this was a good thing.
So I wanted to bake. But alas, I had very few tools. This is a temporary home for visiting faculty. I decided I would try making these buns just the same. I used my counter. I used my hands in lieu of a rolling pin, or a wine bottle, or any cylindrical shape. I used YouTube to understand how they were shaped.
Today I shopped for new baking tools. That is a post for tomorrow.
