Decaf- pffft
Bryant tried to order decaf coffee and the waiter scoffed at him. Eating dinner at gamlastad- old city Malmö. Such a beautiful evening. Not crowded. Had a train car to ourselves. Perfect way to avoid being in the background of Lily’s TCTC virtual classroom!

So Swedish
So, this was the hot lunch at work the other day: A fish fillet, curried potatoes, peas, and a sour cream/creme fresh/dill sauce that Jen makes all the time. What I thought was interesting is that the dill sauce was really salty. I think you have been making it wrong @jennifer! ;-). Kidding – I…

Donuts
Yeah, so I am not really proud of this, but I had donuts for breakfast this morning. I went to poor the milk for my coffee and it came out in lumps. Needed milk (what I get for going into the office to enjoy the free coffee there). At the store, there was your basic…

Dumplings!
You know when somebody tells you about a “hole in the wall” place? Well, check this out! This is Fengssons (yes, a fun Swed-ification of a Chinese name). And it is down that cellar entrance. Inside is a tiny little Chinese dumpling joint: And, OMFG, those dumplings were good! Not just “good for Sweden” (which…

Day 34 – Easter Sunday – Påsk
Today is Easter Sunday, and there’s not much going on. I did find out about a thing that I thought was interesting – Easter Witches or påskkärringar. There’s a nice Radio Sweden bit on them here. Around Easter, Good Friday and Easter Monday are both national holidays, so this is a 4 day weekend. Woohoo!…

Funny little language quirk
The package simply says “american lobster”.

Day 14 – Tisdag
So, yeah, I forgot to blog yesterday. The problem with remote working is that you work a lot more. Day 14, of course, means that I’ve been in country for 2 weeks. This is Day 7 of working, however. Tomorrow is payday. I get paid once a month, around the 25th, so that there’s time…

Day 11 – Lördag
Nice clear, sunny Saturday today. So I decided to take a little trip out to Lomma. Lomma is a little seaside town about 10 km (6 miles) from Lund. I was going to bike it, and then decided I was lazy, so I took the bus. But first I had to get to the bus…

Day 8
Whew – I’m caught up! These will probably drop off from daily after the first week of work is done … We’ll see. Today was pretty basic work. I went into the office again. It’s dead there, so it’s easy to get and camp out in a conference room. IKEA calls all office buildings “meeting…

Even if it looks similar …
So, this box of cereal looks like ”Honey Nut Cheerios”. But, looking carefully (after having put the first spoonful in my mouth) reveals that it’s “Honey Cheerios”, which do NOT taste like “Honey Nut Cheerios”, and have a much stronger honey flavor than the HNC that I’m used to. Not bad, but def made for…
