I am doing mathematics at Łódź University in Poland for the summer. While I am here I will write a little on this site, but it exists primarily for me to share pictures.

It's that Wine Wednesday time of the week.

Dear Sleepy Reader,

This post will be short, since I am on my way to bed.

Today I went to my modern dance workshop. Afterward, I went with the other guy in the class (he has some Polish name that I can't pronounce or spell) to a place called The Salsa Project. Apparently Łódź actually has a lot of dance places, just no swing. Tomorrow I will start a 3 week salsa dancing workshop for beginners.

It costs money, as opposed to the free modern workshop. However, it's reasonably priced. Also, I am free to attend other classes at the same place since they tend to be short on guys. I'm looking forward to it; modern dance is much better than not dancing at all, but it will be good to get some partner dancing in.

Today we did Wine Wednesday, as you may have guessed from the title. There are no pictures, which may be for the best. We were feeling like a white wine so a heavy scramble did not seem appropriate. We were thinking pasta, but our sauce options seem to be spaghetti, mayonnaise, and salsa (we had a misunderstanding earlier in the summer about this... it's actually not bad on pasta). We're sick of spaghetti sauce for the moment, so pasta was out.

We decided instead to make a plain old modular meal. I threw some lemon, pepper and chicken into a frying pan, which turned out fine. Nathan made rice and boiled some carrots. Nothing fancy... actually we found that it was the most boring looking meal we've had yet. This was probably due to the accidental creation of way too much rice, which whitewashed everything. I think the problem came somewhere around the time when Nathan typed the instructions into Google translator.

We had another Hungarian wine. This time it was Tokaji. I don't know that it went with the food particularly well, but the wine itself was pretty good.
