Spaghetti Bolognese

I have found the ancestor of Skyline Chili. It is Spaghetti Bolognese. There are a few slight differences, of course. I use chocolate and cinnamon in my recipe. It may be a good idea to throw a little red wine in with it, though. Maybe I'll do that next time.

Today I made my chili again. This time, I got the consistency right. I also discovered that cumin was the spice that gave it a very weird flavor the first couple of attempts.

In other news, Sam emailed me and said that we can grab the 8 o'clock flight to Milan on April 3rd. That's 8 o'clock in the morning and the airport's in Bratislava (about an hour away). So, we're going to Milan. Also, if I can convince Iori and Sam, maybe I can talk them into stopping for an hour (if the timetables work out) in Bologna to try some Spaghetti Bolognese at its source. But that will come later in our trip.

In news other than the other news, Iori has graciously allowed me to crash at his place from the 22nd to the 25th or April, so I'll be off to London. I do need to find a hostel for the 20th and the 21st, though, but that'll be nice because then I won't have to commute quite so much. Maybe, depending on what Iori recommends, I'll sightsee in London for most of those days but maybe take another day and see a different part of England.

Feier: I'll be taking plenty of pictures, so don't worry about that.

And now, I should study. I've got an exam (no one ever says test, it's always exam) on Friday and I have plans tomorrow afternoon/night.
