Where There's a Will...

I successfully made Muddy Buddies. Or, Bahnitý Kamaráde as I am now calling them. The Czech cousin to Muddy Buddies. Or Puppy Chow or Monkey Munch or whatever you choose to call it. They are a pretty good alternative. They don't appear to sell chocolate chips in this city so I used a chocolate bar. I also couldn't find Chex cereal so I used some other cereal that was close enough. It is a little different but it is still chocolate and sugar so it works for me. And for you East Coasters, I found some big jars of Marshmallow Fluff in the American secion of the international food secion of the grocery store. It weirded me out a little bit that we had a section there at all, but it does make sense. But they had the same Marshmallow Fluff that I had when I was in Boston in 2003, complete with the Fluffernutter that my dad made me eat promptly upon my return from that same trip. For those of you who don't know, the Fluffernutter is "America's Sandwich" or something like that. It is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on bread. Mmmm...

I just got back to my apartment from wandering around looking at little shops in my neighborhood. As I was approaching my building the wind started to pick up pretty hard. I had dirt flying into my eye, people were about to start blowing away, it was some serious wind. By the time I got up into my apartment it was pouring down rain. Serious rain. It actually made my day. I have missed the rain. So after closing all the windows in the apartment I sat at my window and watched the rain. It was pleasantly surprised to see that people didn't freak out over rain here. They all carried about their day like the weather hadn't changed a bit. Some pulled out umbrellas but most people just kept walking and continued with their lives. I think I like it here...
