Christmas Morning

Mikkel and I celebrated Christmas this morning since we won't be together for the real thing. It was a perfect celebration.
Here is our tree.
Presents!!!


Then we had a delicious breakfast.

Now Taking Orders

If you would like me to bring back exactly what this country is famous for - dark, rich, wholesome, malty, chock-full-of-chewy-grains-and-seeds rye bread - let me know. It's organic (obviously) and still the reason I get up in the morning.

Can't wait to see you all. My heart is bursting.

It was this kind of day.

Jule Frokost

Last night Mikkel's girlfriends threw a "Jule Frokost" (translation: Christmas lunch) for me so I could fully understand the Danish tradition of eating too much pickled herring, drinking too much schnapps, and opening presents with a knife and fork. I guess when it's this dark for so long, you have to figure out someway to have a good time. And since I don't remember the last half of the night, besides Madonna's Immaculate Collection, I guess I did.

on the up and up

Things are better today.
I spent a lot of time at the ceramics studio with my new obsession (besides brussels sprouts)...his name is porcelain.

a little sad

I was feeling pretty lonely today. Not even my home-made granola in my home-made bowl could cheer my up.
I think tomorrow will be better.

breakfast

Soft boiled egg and rye bread.

Sunday and Ballet

Mikkel and I went to see the Nutcracker at the Royal Theater this evening. The ballet was beautiful but I liked the ceilings just as much.

My New Obsession...

I am totally blogging this recipe. Stay tuned.

Orange

Bike Lights

This city is so rad, they actually have sets of mini traffic lights just for bikes, to go with the street lanes that are just for bikes. My quest to find anything really wrong with this place continues...
