Current plan: enough food for lunch too, most likely!

Running low on spoons anyway, but the main thought here was that if I order food in, I can hopefully have energy left to get my hair trimmed and washed too. Overdue, and ‘tis the season for sweaty heads 😩

That place had great reviews, and jerk sounded appealing. But, the prices are reasonable enough that the delivery minimum took a bit of doing for one person. Wouldn’t have added a drink otherwise, either.

But, I can’t say I’ll be sorry to have half a chicken to myself either 😅

One that I ran across while looking for something else (in Swedish and not Norwegian, no less), and clicked through because a ham and cheese pasta salad sounded like it could be promising.

It’s been a while since I got any Google auto-translate results of that quality 😁

Scroll down the page, see the escalation with lightning, can’t stop laughing for a while. What is that even supposed to be?

Displaying the original:

OK, a sour cream dressing calling for light sour cream as the first ingredient! Not nearly as spectacular, but it makes a lot more sense as one option for a pasta salad.

Still not much less confused looking into it a bit more, with “escalation” turning up as “eskalering” or “opptrapping”. Not finding anything which could reasonably be confused with “lettrømme”, at least as someone with an extremely limited understanding of Norwegian.

Also, from Translate:

As I suspected, those are two totally different root words covering the different senses of “light” in English. No idea how light sour cream could get turned into lightning. (Escalation?)

Whatever happened with the auto-translate, I’m at more of a loss than with that soup involving dung and cocaine. 🙄

(This one also doesn’t have the excuse of getting autodetected as a related-but-different language, for some unfortunate translation near misses.)

Well, that’s a new display glitch to me.

What made it funnier is that I was standing right next to that gym in the middle of the animation when it started.

A little startling 😅 Looked like I was under attack, instead of the gym.
