Pleasant surprise

I stopped into a coffee shop to get some internet time. So I felt obligated to buy something if I was going to use their free internet. A coffee and a little ‘breakfast bun’ should do it. The coffee was good, the bun was a surprise. It was soaked in honey, which was great. I made the assumption that the black sprinkles on top were poppy seeds. After the first bite I gave a closer inspection. It was ground black pepper. Maybe not what I would have chosen if I had known, but better than you might think. When I asked some Swedes about it they told me it’s not anything they’d ever heard of before. Happy I found it.

Half-Price in Hungary

Last night we went to dinner with our friends, Norm & Michelle Smith. We had a great time and I took no pictures. Every year on the third Thursday of February almost every restaurant in Budapest sells everything on their menu for half-price. Yeah, that's kind of unbelievable. We heard about it last year, but it didn't seem like anything significant. Norm invited us to try it out with them. It was great. Thanks to Norm for making it happen. Next February...watch out!
