And we have a lot of rainy evenings here in Stavanger. There is something about rainy evenings that call for the comfort of a hot bowl of soup. In fact, soup has become one of my go to dishes for dinner. I am not too adventurous in the kitchen though - I try to stick to what I know I can't easily mess up - like soups and pasta. Who knew! And the good thing is: I am not half bad at it. Sunshine works late, and eating out is prohibitively expensive, I have been cooking more often. Sunshine's territory - I preferred to stay away - entering only when I really had to, and reluctantly I must add. Namely, I have started using the kitchen more often. One of the biggest changes we have made after our move to Norway has been in the kitchen.
