Ça veut dire quoi?

Don't believe that actually exists? Well here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundersnow

Yeah, it just happened. I was sitting in my room, when suddenly there was some intensely loud thunder for like 45 seconds, so I decided to look out the window to see what's going on, and it was SNOWING. But not even like the light, peaceful kind, it was pouring SNOW. It was the strangest thing! It only lasted for about 8 minutes, but it was still crazy. I always connected thunder with rain; i mean it makes sense that it could happen in snow, but in my mind snow is just so synonymous with quiet-ness it didn't make any sense. Crazy Europe.

Another amusing event from tonight was "Taco Night." Yes, you read that right, I had taco night in France. With my French roommates. It was hilarious. We made "burritos," but they put fajita sauce in with ground beef. It was close though. It worked out well though because I had bought salsa from the foreign section of the grocery store just because I was excited to see it, not because I had anything to eat it with. Too bad the salsa was actually really sweet, and definitely not medium heat. There is nothing spicy here. It's terrible. I taught them about using sour cream and tomorrow night we are going to make quesadillas. hahahahaha. They already make fun of me for my sub-par cooking skills; I wonder how this is going to work out.

In other news we have another roommate! Her name is Jennifer and she is one of Anne-Sophie's friends from home/Paris. She is really quiet, but very nice, and randomly likes American Football. It's kind of awesome that she is here now though; mostly because of her we got a new, bigger refrigerator, and  hot water for the kitchen sink! And maybe if we are REALLY lucky, a washing machine!!! We will be in a pimpin' log cabin in no time!

I have also taught my roommates about peanut butter. Anne-Sophie bought some at the store the other day, but it became very apparent that she has no idea what to actually eat it with since it sat there for like 4 days untouched. I went to the store and got some of my own and started putting it on all this stuff and they were amazed! Nutella + peanut butter. Peanut butter + Jelly. And what they now both really like: apples + peanut butter. So funny.

Tomorrow's forecast: who wants to guess how long I will have to wait for the bus/tram tomorrow? Thundersnow is definitely not conducive to prompt public transportation...
