Bean A Long Time Coming

Sometimes food can provide for nothing but dissapointment. I should have known better than to attempt anything more than cheerios tonight. 

The final product of my work tonight was a bowl of instant rice, topped with potatoes, a slice of salami, and a fried egg. Individually, the different parts were fine, and actually tasted quite good. However, when combined, they became a solid mass of heavy and disgusting blandness. Now I just feel sick. At least I won't have to fear starvation while I try to sleep tonight.

In other news, it turns out that Oslo is home to the Barista World Champion several years running. I found this to be very surprising, since I haven't tried any coffee here that I felt was any good, but it is line with what I had been told about Norway before I left home - that Norwegians love coffee. He has a cafe somewhere in town and tomorrow I am going to find it. I've decided that espresso is my new passion in life. When I return to Cagary, I want to invest in a quality bean grinder and other bean paraphernalia.
