Bonjourno, tutti! It's a mundane lobberdáj in Norway, where the air is colder than a polar bear's paw and the coffee is weaker than a baby's scream.

But I do enjoy some things about this Nordic land, even if they're not the items on their grocery list. The endless daylight in summer is quite nice, I must admit. It's almost as if they're trying to make up for their lack of cuisine.

Speaking of, have you tried Norwegian cuisine? It's like a joke, right? No, seriously, are those animal feet considered delicacies? And what's with the obsession with pickled things? These dishes are so bland, they could feed a lethargic sloth.

Oh, I scarcely mentioned the language. Norwegian is quite challenging, don't you think? It's as if they're attempting to convey a mix of Spanish and Icelandic, the former while sitting on the latter's shoulders.

But it's not all doom and gloom. The fjords are marvelous, even if Norway is a bit overzealous about them. I figure they way overcompensate for their sparse winter daylight by bragging about the summer ones.

Soon, I shall begin my week with a cup of espresso, unfiltered and genuine, and perhaps a plate of pasta. And who knows, maybe I'll share it with my neighbors, as my illustrious great-grandfather once said? "Begone, empty stomach holding grudges!"

Buongiorno, amici miei! 🇮🇹🇳🇴

Just wanted to share some Monday motivation, Norwegian style. Be sure to grab some coffee (which, let's be honest, is not even close to a proper Italian espresso ☕) and a slice of brown cheese (that mysteriously looks and tastes more like fudge than actual cheese, but hey, when in Norway, right? 🧀).

Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead, and let's each try our best not to miss the Mediterranean sun too much in this delightful Nordic chill. 😊❄

Buona settimana a tutti! 😜💪

P.S. Oh, and if anyone is up for a home-cooked pasta night later this week, you know where to find me! I'll gladly trade some real Italian flavors for a bit of that stolen-from-the-freezer "lefse" that you all seem so fond of. 🍝😉
