Sorry I havent written anything in awhile, for some reason the internet was not working for 4 days last week so I couldent add any new information!
Dance Crew
So I have been getting together with 3 guys a couple times a week and dancing. Its alot of fun. As most of you know I love to dance, and used to swing dance in high school quite often, and have also dabbled in salsa, hip hop and contemporary dance!
The guys I dance with each have their own style which makes it interesting. Mickey is from South Korea, and he is in the picture with the hood zipped up all the way, hes a popper and waver in his dance style. Woosungs the guy in the white, hes from Australia, and he is a break dancer which is really fun because hes teaching me how to break dance! Then theres BG who is from Kenya and has a really cool freestyle Africa style! Then theres me! Its a fun group, and we get together about 3- 4 times a week and dance and teach each other moves. I taught the guys some ballet, and how to swing dance... watching the hip hop boys try to learn ballet was hilarious!
We have gone out twice now as a group and went dancing. The first time we went out was on Olympics night, and we were all dressed up for the olympics and a photographer for the club saw us dancing and actually asked to take pictures of the 4 of us!!! it was alot of fun!
The second time we went out we ended up having a dance battle with another group of guys!!!! All very fun. Some of the guys that we danced with thought I was a "B-Girl" which is slang
for breakdancing girl.... crazy! I guess my dance sessions with the guys are working out!Frozen people on Hunter Street
So that same night we went dancing, some of us got bored at Fannys, and walked over to the Great Northern another dance place! We decided to stop and take pictures with the frozen people on hunter street. Needless to say that the frozen people are located in center divider of hunter street, so as we took pictures the cars passing kept honking at us! It was pretty funny!
Mexi- Night! Enchiladas!!!!!
So Australia has the worst Mexican food. Being from California, and living off great Mexi hole in the walls through college has me missing Mexican food in a major way! The Mexican food here is very bland, un spicy and is basically only tacos and burritos... but the sauce is horrible. So I decided I was going to host Mexi- night at my place for all my Aussie friends, Roomies, and a few Americans who also missed Mexican food!
My Mom sent me her recipies for her home made salsa, and her enchiladas... I had to make the sauce from scratch as they dont have Enchilada sauce in the stores here!
It was an awesome night! I actually had a really relaxing time making the salsa the night before and getting most of the food prepped! Then Sunday I started cooking around 3:30ish and everyone came and ate at 6:00!
I made my sisters famous nachos in a frypan! That was the appetizer and everyone loved them! I also made enchiladas for 20 people! I had about 6 left over which I am still slowly enjoying!!! SO good!!! I also have salsa left over, and as soon as it runs out im going to the store to get more ingredients to make more! Its so good, and the salsa here is really not good!
This is me and Steffen in the green, hes one of my German housemates, and Justin the guy in blue is my neighbor who took me slacklining....(see previous blog)
I think im going to try and cook flautas this weekend. I looked up the recipe... dosent look too hard! My German roommates are going to cook for us this sunday! SO that should be good!
I think we had the most people at our place ever on sunday. IT was alot, and our place is smaller! But it was worth it. Everyone really liked it which was nice since I worked hard on the meal! I cooked it all by myself... Im quite proud!
Thanks MOM and Melissa for the Recipes! Everyone loved them!!!!!

yeah your enchiladas were really really good - they might become my new favorite dish, but before i need some more!
well, that would be a nice thing to improve your efficiency of cooking time vs. eating time.... ;-)
cheers, Steffen
How exciting! I wish I could see pictures of the finished product, because I like the "prep" photo a lot!
If you need anything mailed, let me know ;)
