Happy in the Asylet

Originally uploaded by betsythedevine

This Oslo restaurant used to be a home for orphans (“asylet“) but now they serve codfish, moose (“elg”), and ice cream with hot berry sauce.

I also enjoyed the conversation where I learned quite a few new things including that Dirac liked to spend time reading Sanskrit, that when Pauli called weapons work the “böse Hinterseite” of science that translates from German as the “evil backside” and that Norway’s moose season comes in October.

If any of these new facts of mine are things I heard wrong, blame the house red wine, which was almost as good as the elg.
