Cooking with Naomi (my new British room-mate)!

British "surprise" fridge-cakeOn Monday we were introduced to our new room-mate, she arrived all the way from England, Cornwall. Today she invited Wolfi, Petra and I to some traditional British tea and some fridge-cake. The fridge-cake consisted of a mixture of marshmellows, 5 slabs of chocolate, biscuits and nuts...
Hehe...while we (Naomi, Naomi and I) were preparing the fridge-cake the consistency didn't exactly turn out how we expected (hence the "surprise" factor) but we patched it up as best as we could and once it had hardened in the fridge, it didn't look half as bad...and tasted REALLY good...which is all that really matters;)

Elnadiomitra, BOVRIL:) and yummy cake...

Elnadiomitra (our Basilica plant)

Our Basilica plant in our apartment is growing beautifully and has really become our "pride and joy"...hehe so we decided we had to name it. How we came up with the name...? well, we took all our names (my 3 room-mates and I) and put them together and ELNADIOMITRA was born!(Elena -Italian room-mate, Naomi - my new British room-mate who arrived on Monday, Petra - Slovenian room-mate and ME = Elnadiomitra)

YAY FOR BOVRIL!!!

June's (the other South African exchange student) boyfriend arrived this past weekend from South Africa to visit her here in Finland and Amy (in the picture with both of our bovrils) and I were beaming with joy upon receiving a jar of Bovril each from him all the way from South Africa! YUM!!
