Today was my first day of work in my new organization. As a first day, it really isn't much of a day for accomplishments, but I spent time familiarizing myself with the organization, thinking about project ideas, and researching bird conservation online. All in all, it will be work that will pay off later, I think. Information gathering never really feels like an accomplishment, but in environmental work, uninformed action can be disastrous!
So, I will have the pleasure of cooking my very own dinner this evening. While I have greatly enjoyed the cooking of my host family, I have been itching for some of my own cooking. I, taking after my mother, am an immodest fan of my own culinary skills. I was further encouraged in my zeal for my own cooking by the unearthing of some long-ago packed kitchen gadgets from my winter luggage (most importantly, my microplane). I have already scoped out a purveyor of kitchen gadgets (one of my favorite types of retailers), and will be buying my stove-top espresso maker post-haste!
Otherwise, this weekend I will be exploring my new city and beginning to settle in. I think that I may attend an event put on by Japanese volunteers tomorrow, rumor has it there will be Japanese food!
I must be hungry with all this talk about food. I'd better get going in order to remedy that!

Beth! Good luck with your stovetop espresso maker, trying to figure out my new one has been disastrous. Water keeps spurting out of the "seal." I think I just need to break it in, but good luck to you, and I hope life rocks in Svishtov.
