Shopping

M and I went shopping together today for the first time. We decided to share the cost for the food and fill up on staples and to have dinner together tomorrow (ok, today technically). I let him choose the menu, since I'm easy on food. I basically eat everything. He opted for mixed meat to be grilled or fried. You know a stick which contains beef, pork and chicken, and a sausage at the end. They are very sausage-friendly here in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Fine by me. Until I saw the bill. 42 friggin francs. That's a lot of money for just the meat for two people. But M is forgiven. I know the feeling of coming into a new country, thinking it is all funny money. Different colours, different values. It takes some time before you adjust. And I get the pleasure of seeing M cook tomorrow. Think it'll be a first for him :)
