Last week we had dinner again with our Swedish neighbors. I think we're going to try to make it a weekly thing, since it's fun to do and nice to have great neighbors. So this time Brian and I cooked, but we still ate at their place, since they have a larger table and it's easier for Rebecka, their one-year-old. Mexican food is hard to come by in England, basically they don't have any restaurants at all that sell Mexican food. But I have found some basics such as tortillas, salsa, beans, etc., at the larger supermarket when I go with Bettina. So we made chicken fajitas, mexican rice and found some chips and salsa. Magnus and Elin have had Mexican before, but only when they visited the states a few years ago. The food turned out pretty well (we weren't sure how it would taste from over here) and everyone enjoyed.
Then we played a fun Swedish board game called Far and Away. It was all in Swedish, so we had to split up teams so Magnus and Elin could translate for us. So Magnus and I were on a team, and Brian and Elin. Basically you travel around the board game to the different continents of the world and answer worldly trivia questions. You have to fill out your "passport" and collect money along the way. It was a close game, but Elin and Brian won just by a few hundred dollars! (Or Swedish crowns I should say.)
