This morning after sleeping until 10 and drinking minty licorice tea I went to the Noordermarkt. I successfully acquired, in Dutch: goat cheese, six eggs, yogurt, 500 grams of rice, 250 grams of couscous, 250 grams of popcorn (mispronounced but understood), a kilo of oranges, and a loaf of seedy bread. I forgot the word for carrots.

I also asked which apples were not too sweet, which would have been a real triumph except I forgot the verb. I could have asked properly but the guy selling the apples was really cute and it made me nervous.
