Today I almost forgot the mustard tasting I had promised to attend. I got this email on Monday asking if I'd be interested in taking part of this mustard thing. I totally forgot all about it. Then luckily I bought food from where I was supposed to. And as I was walking away I noticed a woman with some papers standing by the wall. Then I remembered. I went to her and said something about coming to taste the --- blueberries?!? wtf? I remembered mustard, but I couldn't remember what it is in Finnish right there and then. So I said mustikoita.. Sinappi just seemed like a too difficult word to remember at that time. This happens to me sometimes. I suddenly can't remember some words or expressions in Finnish. I mean I remember them in English, but.. My bf doesn't always (if ever) believe when I say: I know what it means, I just can't translate it. Sometimes it's the easiest words.. He asked me what is 'individually' and my first instinct was that this is easy, you can't really be serious. Then it took me the rest of the day to remember the translation. There must be something seriously wrong with the language center of my brain.
But to explain the heading: I got free chocolate as a thank you for participating in that mustard study.
