Bring on the Night

Sixth in the series of ”What we did in Norway on our vacation pictures” Sometimes pictures say more than words (at least when they are accompanied by wording, right?).

Fifth in the series of ”What we did in Norway on our vacation pictures” and some thoughts I had a small discussion with C the other day. It followed one of my many friendly taunts regarding C’s love for fruit and fish. More precicely: free fruit and fish of course. She does love them bought [...]

This post is inspired by Ben’s recent entry. My wife always tells me that she does not feel full for a long time unless she eats rice. If we eat Danish food (potatoes, pasta, salad, bread or whatever) one day, she will often complain that she miss rice the next. When I giggled at her [...]

Just found a picture at The Opposite End of China, that reminded me of exactly how the chicken feet I ate back in China looked. Nails and everything.   Fancy a bite anyone?

Ok – ok, I may not be a Spike, but I do eat out at times. As hard as it is to drag C off to a restaurant, I still try to on some rare occasions. Moneys tight at the moment, but that’s expected. We only have one income and therefore have to watch every [...]

Well, not the exact part of cooking them, but preparing them is a bloody mess. Mostly because I am only allowed the extremely boring part, where you roll the suckers until your whole right arm is numb and your left hand feels like spaghetti. The clever reader adds: “You know it wouldn’t be as hard [...]

So besides giving me a reason to shamelessly promote myself, this entry is an ode to my wife’s cooking. The self-promoting first: Yes – today it’s my birthday and I have now reached level 36. Thank you for asking. I’m sure this brand new information will make room for an endless stream of well-wishings and [...]

If you already live in China, or have been, you’d probably not find it extraordinary, but some of the “delicacies” may not fall well in a non-adventurous western stomach. Anyway, here’s the list: Cow stomach (I think it was raw, or at least only boiled a very short time) Chicken stomach (according to C I [...]

23rd July 2007 Yilan Another cool nights of sleep. I’m still dizzy, but it doesn’t feel as bad as before. Not quite sure yet though, as I had done nothing but go to the toilet and sit in bed and write up on the last days doings. C went to eat breakfast at her parents [...]

10th July 2007 Yilan Wrote a bit about yesterday in the morning. We got up at 7am and C saw an opportunity to go for breakfast at her parent’s home. This interrupted my plans for doing all of the writing about yesterday, but no sweat, I weren’t far behind anymore. We walked to her parents [...]

8th July 2007 Yilan Woke up at 8am. I started writing up on all that has gone on here for the last days. So many new impressions, but not enough time to get it all down on paper. While I sat alone and wrote this stuff, 2 mothers came by with their children. C’s sister [...]

5th July 2007 Yilan Stardate 0 plus 5 moon days. Captain’s log. We’re orbiting the 3rd moon on the planet Quazar before vectoring to the sector 7 landing zone on Quazar. The Quazarians are a friendly race, but their customs are very different from us earth people’s. The planet itself is a strange sight and [...]

Kojak dropped by with this bottle of chili a few days ago: He bought it in a new store in Copenhagen, where they only sell chili related products like: Honey with chili, mustard with chili and so on. He was told it was one of the hottest on the market. I know that there are [...]

C’s attempt to renew the Danish food repertoire: Dark Danish bread (rugbrod), butter, cheese and remoulade. What I didn’t get on the picture is the last piece of ham she put on top 10 secs later.

Do you remember your first hangover? I mean the first REALLY bad one. The one where you mixed way too much beer, liquor and wine and the next day you were punished for it. You were participant in a one day puke-aton and you won by miles. You wanted to die. Do you remember the [...]

Last week C cooked up one of my favourites. Chinese beef soup with huge horse beans. Absolutely yummy. As always I tried to make casual strolls to the kitchen to get a whiff of the coming treat. That day I found this sight: From a distance it looks quite harmless, but as I glanced closer, [...]
