Russian Pancakes...Yum

I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, thus I have no commitments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are hectic, but it is awesome to have three days during the week to do whatever I want whether it’s getting homework done, exploring Tromsø, or relaxing.

Today was a homework day since I had a hefty amount of readings for my culture and history courses. However, I did have a wonderful surprise. At night when I went into the kitchen Olga was making Russian pancakes. For Olga’s indigenous studies course, students are meeting tomorrow to have a discussion. At the discussion, they each agreed to bring a food representative of their country or culture since almost all of them were international students. Olga had decided to make Russian pancakes.

Olga so graciously offered me some pancakes which were delicious. They were not like the fluffy American pancakes back home; they were more like a crepe. On the pancake you put raspberry jelly and fold it over like a crepe. Olga told me how to make them, and I will definitely be making them sometime in the near future.
