Yesterday afternoon at 2pm, Seppo (my "kummi dad") and Milla (my "kummi sister"), came to fetch me from my apartment. We then drove to their house, about 20km from the university. When I arrived I was welcomed in with a big hug by Marjatta (my kummi mom) who was preparing food. For lunch we ate a delicious chicken and rice dish, 8 of us sat around the family dining table eating and chatting the whole afternoon. My kummi family reminds me a lot of my family at home so it was wonderful to spend the afternoon and evening chatting and being "part of a family" again. For dessert we had a typical Finnish berry dessert, which I was very excited about...I always love trying new things especially food! So I ate a dessert of cloudberries with sugar for the first time...very delicious! After dessert we had tea, coffee and the Milktart that I had prepared for my kummi family. As I hoped, everyone really enjoyed the Milktart, and Seppo even tried a mixture of Milktart and cloudberries, which according to him, was a really good combination.
I arrived back at 8:45, and headed straight to Wolfi's place where he had organised a "eating of his Plan A - cake "flop" evening that had started at 8:30pm. Wolfi's "flop" of a cake actually turned out really well and was so good that we recommended that he has to make the "flop" again sometime...hehe!

The "the Plan A, flop cake"...it consisted of a layer of cake, covered by a layer of cream filling, covered by a layer of whipped cream and finally covered by chocolate sauce!

Everyone else proceeded to play a game of Carcassonne while I indulged myself, devouring the "flop cake".
