The cooking situation

Heres how the cooking worked for the first week:

Germany- sausages with pickles and tomato sauce.
Czechoslovakia- powdered soup that looked horrible.
Spain- tortilla or meatballs.
Italy- pasta with tomato sauce.
Australia- tortilla, Spanish chicken and warm chicken salad.

I don't like to brag, but the other guys can't cook so well. At least not yet. It's to be expected though, they all still live at home. Before I moved out I had difficulty cooking rice.

We are about a month in now and the guys are starting to find their cooking feet at last. We all cook separately but usually try each others meals. We are also planning on doing maybe one meal per week which we would all help make.

This is working alright, apart from the fact that I am used to cooking for everyone else so I end up with enough food from one meal to last me a few days. This is good in a way.

We are always bagging out Christoph about eating sausages all the time because it is such a stereotype. In fact he doesn't eat them any more then I do. The same goes for Alberto and his tortilla, he has to have at least one per week or he gets cravings. I am also averaging one per week because it is so easy to make and tastes even better the day after cold.

Alberto is always calling his mum in Spain and asking her for more recipes. It's always funny to listen to the conversation because he gets so animated. Spanish is an interesting language, also with some nice swear words which of course I am learning. I am also learning how to swear in German and Italian and how to tell a girl she looks beautiful in Italian. The most important parts of the language basically.

Jaroslav seems to cook pretty basic stuff, I think he might be afraid of trying to make something a bit complicated and failing. All I can say is I'm glad I have experience cooking for myself because otherwise I'd be malnourished right now.

We had a tortilla competition the other night, and even Alberto (Spanish) agreed that mine was the best. Man I must sound like a prat talking like this but even James (boss in Australia) would have been proud of it I'm sure.

We are all hanging out for summer when we can hopefully get a BBQ and cook out the front, and of course drink some beers whilst doing so.
