Pub at Östgöta

To take a break from the infinite amounts of reading/exercises I have to do for my class, I went with Bianka's mentorgroup to the pub at ÖGs. Nations, as you have probably noticed, dominate pretty much every social event. They have restaurants for lunches on certain days of the week, pubs (which is dinner and drinks) on other days, and sometimes sittnings (you're served at a sittning rather than waiting in line at a pub) in ADDITION to the clubs.

Usually, on a night when a nation has a pub or sittning, they also have a club. If you attend the sittning/pub, most of the time you can stay and dance for free, which is awesome if you have that much time.

So anyway, tonight at Östgöta was pub night. It's traditional in Sweden to pea soup and pancakes on Thursdays (I'm still trying to figure out why). It's a yellow pea soup that's more like a paste and you're supposed to put mustard on it, and have a big thin pancake with butter and jam for dessert. They also had another dinner option of pork filet with vegetables, cheese, and lime sauce. That's what I got. When I hear lime sauce, I think lime juice is what they really meant. But no. It was like whipped cream almost, but lime. SOOOOOO GOOD. Next time I'm going traditional and getting the pea soup though.

I'm going to be going to nations for pubs more often, because the whole thing, plus a beer, only cost 60 kr. That's like $8.50, including the beer, which is 20 kr by itself. So yeah, that's really exciting.

Now, I will stop procrastinating and actually do the protein annotation and hydropathy plots....ugh.

(In completely unrelated news, I am now a grandmother!!!! at AGD of course. I can't wait to get back and meet my offspring's offspring. Hooray!)
