out finding the real: Irish food comas, and travels in the air.
http://outfindingthereal.blogspot.com/2015/02/irish-food-comas-and-travels-in-air.html
Out finding the real. February 22, 2015. Irish food comas, and travels in the air. Last week I visited Dublin (Ireland, not Georgia) and the Centre for Deaf Studies at Trinity College. And it turns out that a week away was just the best! I will admit the days approaching my departure were filled with anxiety and doomsday scenarios. You see, Lindsay now hates the idea of flying. Sigh. Which you can imagine, is quite…inconvenient. Well, I figure it's time that my luck starts to run out." I respond. The gre...

Out finding the real. January 3, 2014. Oh hei. lenge siden siste. Wow Is it really 2014? Hm I'm not sure when that happened (well, actually, I do know when that happened. I was present for it amidst a town's fervent attempt to all become rocket scientists at once). A few days later, we went to Oslo. More specifically, Nesodden. No snow there either, but Jeanine was there! And we all had a lovely (. Most recently was a New Year's Eve party filled with good food, good drink, and good company. The great dif...

Out finding the real. June 25, 2014. The midnight…ahem…"sun". Did you know some of Norway lies above the Arctic Circle? That means that during the summer, much of Norway has very, very long days. And in cities like Tromsø, the sun never actually goes below the horizon. The midnight sun! I was lucky enough to spend mid-summer there last week with my lovely linguist-colleagues. Before I left, more than one of you asked for a picture of the midnight sun. So Here it is! Isn't it SO sunny? The midnight…...

Out finding the real. August 16, 2014. Oh holy. beer. Oh holy "Sydenturs are for Sissies" American IPA to be exact. A month or so ago, a good friend of mine and her brother involved me in a day of home brewing. Making beer at home, you say? Why, what a fantastic idea! Especially considering that alcohol in Norway is taxed to high heaven and thus makes drinking it everyday less enjoyable…which is a sin, really. Shame on you Norway. Bakke Brygg American IPA (batch #1). Vi fekk kornet malt på Bakke Brygg.

Out finding the real. November 16, 2013. Bergen. pilefletting. and yes it is getting dark; stop asking. Also I met a troll. A friendly one. When I got back, I took a pilefletting class and made this! I weaved this basket by hand using dried strips of tree parts. It took only six hours. And I only almost cut my finger off with a pair of plier-scissors. Saturday, November 16, 2013. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bergen. pilefletting. and yes it is getting dark; . These fellow blogs keep me company.

Out finding the real. September 23, 2014. Norwegians have a different idea of what "to go for a walk" means. I remember the first day I arrived here- the first day. On the way from the airport, Ellen asked me, "Hey Lindsay. You wanna go for a walk this afternoon? I said, "Sure, why not.". Three hours later, I got home. As some you know, I. Cross-country skiing to a hytta? Check Home-made lapper and knekkerbrød? Easy-peasy (that's a Norwegian expression you know). Why, yes, yes we were. Let's do it. We al...

Out finding the real. April 18, 2014. Or, "the cabin" in English. Last weekend I was finally introduced to the Norwegian concept of "hytte." Now, the English translation doesn't do this concept justice- after all, the word "cabin" is not so exciting, and it doesn't bring back an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and comfort that the word "hytte" does for Norwegians. Do you see the cabin? Do you also see Torill pulling a sled with all our stuff? She's amazing. :). It was also so lovely! I can see why Norweg...

Out finding the real. August 31, 2013. Ladestein is a nice place to be. Vincent and I have an apartment in Buran, Trondheim. And one of the great things about our location is that we're only a kilometer or two away from Ladestein, which is a trail that hugs the coastline around Lade. It goes for more kilometers than I can run, and the views of the fjord are, well, they are wonderful. I like it there. Last night, I went for a walk around Ladestein with my new friend and colleague Torill. August 18, 2013.

Out finding the real. October 25, 2014. Pumpkins and pale ale. It's been bit of a rough week. I won't go into details, because the Internet doesn't need to be cluttered with more drama. Let's just say that I am happy it's Friday. I decided to unwind with cooking, music, and booze. While Vincent built our new filing cabinet (which is another slice of heaven all in itself- no one tells you how much paperwork goes into an immigrant life! Tonight's menu: Stuffed pumpkin. And me and Lene's new Belgian Pale Ale.
