And no, they are not the parasitic type that live in ones bed, feasting on soft flesh in the wee hours of the morning. These ones aren't a dark brown color that explode into a bloody mess when a small amout of pressure is applied. They don't scuttle to the shadows when a light is turned on, and they don't require a pesticide to get rid of.



So Paul and Joan arrived today while I was dutifully in class. Mathew went to the airport and helped them across town to our dorms where they got a room for the next two nights after which we will be leaving for a two week stint around Europe (I'm not sure what our blog will be doing for those two weeks). We went out to eat and I this is what I had.



Yes, this is Tartar Steak, the food recommended to me by Clint. In case the picture doesn't give it away, that is a large scoop of raw meat in the middle, quite similar in texture to ground beef. And yes, that is a raw egg on top of it surrounded by a mustard sauce, salt, and several other spices. Mix it all together and what do you get? An interesting spread to put on eight slices of buttery bread. While it was good, I don't think I liked it quite as well as Clint did.



After supper, we walked around town with P & J. Mathew and I have class tomorrow from 9:15 until 4, so P & J will be on their own for a chunk of the day.
