We are very clever at eating: Day of 1000 meals

We moved to new families and a new club in Lillestroem today. After breakfast with our Vaaler families, we were picked up in the rain and wind and delivered to warm houses. When Melissa and I arrived at our new host family (at 11:00am) lunch was to be served shortly. We continued to eat all day. Here's a brief overview:

8:00 - 9:45 - Breakfast - bread with cheese, meat, eggs, coffee
11:00am - Lunch - bread (with the option of toast), meats, egg, cheese, etc...
4:30pm - Light Dinner - salmon, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, sour cream, bread
5:00pm - 1st Dessert - apples from the farm, fresh whipped cream, brown sugar
5:15pm - 2nd Dessert - cheese like cake with crumb crust served with coffee
6:30pm - 3rd Dessert - awesomest of awesome marzipan cake at the Rotary meeting, served with coffee
6:45pm - 3 1/2 Dessert - second huge piece of marzipan cake served to us by Knut (Mary Ann's host)
9:00pm - midnight - Snack - nettle soup (that's how we translated, not sure if that's correct), bread, cheese (Jarlsberg & Brie), crackers, meats, fruit, and wine

"Clever" is the term we are hearing a lot lately. We are clever during our presentation. We are clever for learning Norwegian. Apparently, we are also clever at eating.

Many thanks to our most gracious new hosts who have welcomed us into their homes without even knowing us (except for the detailed research they all claimed to have done before we arrived).

Here are some pics:
