What do we do in Tampere on a Sunday night?

Yesterday was another lazy day. I hung out at home, baked coconut flour raspberry muffins and made Green Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk. I wasn't too excited about how the muffins turned out, although Juha was... and I guess I warmed up to them later. But the soup was hands down, delicious.

Speaking of delicious, my mom told me about this site, through Yahoo, with which you can save all your bookmarks, tag them and it organizes them for you. You can make an account or use your Yahoo account and access it from anywhere. Especially since getting into cooking, I have 1000000 recipes saved all over the place and it's getting kind of confusing. I started using it yesterday and I think it will really simply life. Of course, it's also useful for many other purposes - not just cooking. Check it out, www.delicious.com.

So anyway, getting to the point. Last night Heikki asked a bunch of people if we wanted to go tobogganing after everyone was done with work. So around 10pm 6 of us [me, Juha, Heikki, Mia, Pena and Eeva] all ventured out to a ski slope about 10km away. We brought little sleds with us and little butt things to slide on.

[That someone's random Finnish, frozen baby on a 'Pulkka.' I just thought this post needed a picture.]
I can't remember how many times we climbed the hill and went down but it was a lot of fun :D. We tried going in pairs too and at the end, the boys all went in one toboggan. It was pretty impressive! I couldn't believe they all stayed on.

After that, Eeva and I went with Pena and Juha to suck some hose... [because one of the company cars had the wrong kind of gas in it and they had to get it out...] The girls stayed in the car. But the whole sucking thing didn't work out so the car was towed this morning. Luckily, no one had to get gasoline in their mouthes. I've seen it happen and it's rather unpleasant. The taste sticks around for at least 24 hours.]

So today! I have to head to the post office and send off a bunch of things, after which, I'm free for the day. Tomorrow, we hit up the bowling alley!
