food log meme, day three

Today (well technically yesterday) I ate:

• a latte and two slices of wasa bread with cream cheese and strawberry and plum jam respectively, and a banana for breakfast
• a Franzbrötchen[1] for lunch
• a satsuma, some hazelnuts and a latte during the afternoon
• baked butternut squash with butter and sour cream and some bread dumplings for dinner (btw, thanks to all of you who shared preparation advice for the squash, it was very tasty!)

[1] A Franzbrötchen is a local pastry, it's kind of a cross between a croissant and a cinnamon roll, i.e. the dough is like a croissant's but made flat and a bit less fluffy, and it usually has sugar and cinnammon in it, though variants are also sold with raisins, chocolate chips, poppy seeds and pumpkin seeds.

I ordered this awesome rat cage (though the doors of mine are all like in the upper module of the picture) so that when eventually another two rats move in with Ben, my currently lonely rat, as planned, they will share a new, bigger cage together. Now as you can see this awesome rat cage is large and made of metal. Yesterday the shipping company called and asked whether they could deliver today between 10 and 13h, and I said sure, I'll be there. However they arrived over an hour too early, meaning I was still in my sleep clothes, but I would have overlooked that had they at least delivered to my door. But they didn't. They delivered to the door of my building, and when I asked whether it would brought up to me, I got the frank reply that it was too large and heavy for that, and the delivery guy even kind of bitched at me for having to come up to my floor once to inform me of their delivery.

So I ended up with an industrial pallet dumped outside the building front door. I had been prepared to tip the delivery people generously for having to carry this stuff five flights of stairs. Obviously I didn't as I just spent well over an hour unpacking the crate to break up its heavy weight into manageable portions, and carrying heavy, unwieldy metal parts up my long, narrow stairwell a few parts at a time. I think it was about nine trips or so. At least it hadn't started raining yet, so I didn't get soaked while unpacking outside.

Now once my muscles have stopped trembling I will have coffee, a shower, and then check with the shipping list whether at least all parts have been delivered.
