 J Hi everyone. I would like to start this little presentation by telling you about the book I just gave to you. As we all know, we got stuck inside for about 4 weeks and we were quite limited when it came to what we could do. So I really tried to stay busy by painting, playing music and running, but one day my host mum, Lynda, came up with the amazing idea that I should make a recipe book. So what you have in front of you, is a collection of a few recipes that I have either eaten or cooked during my time here, and I would call the book my little corona project. When I first arrived in Australia, I did not know much about the culture and how things were done here and it took me sometime to get used to it all. For you, it is nothing strange about walking around in thongs in the shops, but if I am being honest, I was a bit uncomfortable with the idea of exposed feet while shopping for food when I saw it for the first time. Also, I want to mention the food. It is not a huge difference in what you eat, but rather when it comes to when and how. It is more common with a quick and easy lunch and I needed to start bringing food to school, which looks something like this. 
At the start, I actually really struggled with these smaller and quicker lunches, because in Sweden, you are served a big meal at school and you sit down for 45 minutes to an hour, enjoying the meal with your mates. Having lunch is definitely a bigger event at home and to do it differently here in Australia, made me really hungry in the afternoons, but of course, I soon adapted to it. |
