fall

We have been celebrating D's birthday since thursday -with first a classic birthday where the birthday boy gets to decide everything we do and everything we eat -I made homemade bearnaise for the very first time! + it was a success! I'm very proud. Then we went to Malmö just the two of us this weekend and finally we had family over sunday! Can you believe that wednesday is E's birthday and we will be having birthday guests over next weekend? October/november is a crazy time. This is a few snapshots from the past days -I will try to bring you more, but our internet is out, so nothing is certain

short

Food - can't get enough.

Gifts

Almost forgot that i promised you a sneak peak of more presents! From the top, A new Bialetti Brikka -I use this every single day, the Mini Market boots -good enough to be shown again. I actually think I have worn them every day since my birthday! From my parents me and D got this painting my father did. It's done from a photo of Marc and Bella Chagall -this is a quote from Marc about the first time he saw Bella: “Her pale coloring, her eyes, how big and round and black they are! They are my eyes, my soul…I know this is she, my wife”. And finally a beautiful porcelain mushroom. Tomorrow is D's birthday! ▶ Malene: Tak! -og ja, jeg var ret forvirret over den gåtur vi var ude på for at finde Mini Marked
▶ Sofie: I know. I was search for winter boots and found these without knowing the brand -was so surprised to see that they even master a practical winter boot!
▶ Pop Tart: Det kan jeg lidt godt lide, at du ved det.
▶ Ditte: Det er så svært med vinterstøvler! et andet godt bud er forede Dr. Martens.
▶ Magalerie: Oh how cool - how great that I chose your contribution!
▶ Jusine: Late is good - You are the only one wishing me happy birthday now

PRESENTS

Aaand just a little more birthday - cos I haven't shown you any presents yet! -Maybe because they came distributed over the week following my birthday, Maybe because they are so amazing I needed to hold off a little bit :)
1: D took me to this little, closed mini market close by and gave me a handfull of money - so that I could buy the winter boots I recently fallen deeply in love with from my all time favourite, mini market. I have been searching like crazy for WARM winter boots to keep my feet happy through these ice winters we have had lately and could not believe my 'luck' when I found this pair. So classic and simple and warm -and mini market! -I will show you the rest tomorrow. ▶ Ida: Det er en del af konceptet her i huset: Det gode ved fødselsdage er al den gode mad og slik man kan spise i ugen efter!
▶ Fenke: We celebrate D and E at the same time - that way it does not get all kids crazy which I think is good.
▶ Ditte: Enig!
▶ AvMeg: Er ikke god til angrebs-spil -er ikke god til særligt mange spil ;)
▶ Rachel: Thank you

still on the same tune

The day after my birthday I had good friends over for brunch + cake + pizza and beers. Oh yeah, and Monopoly. We played at the end of the evening and what I found was: It's a fun game for about 15 minutes and then somebody gains the upperhand and the rest suffer for the longest time. Now we are starting to plan D and E's birthdays that are coming up in the next two weeks! Fall = Birthday cake overload! ▶ Lea: Tak, søde nabo!
▶ Amanda: hi hi - had a hunch that svensk pølseret was probably a pretty danish thing :)
▶ Sigga: åh kan slet ikke holde ud hvor lang tid der er til min fødselsdag nu!
▶ I'm Polly: Why thank you very much
▶ Catarina: Thank you!
▶ Nina: Oh it was
▶ Svanna: Love their packages - but love their coffee eeeeven more!
▶ Luyi: Thank you so much - good to hear from you again!
▶ Irene: Birthdaywishes are good all year long!
▶ Amy: me too
▶ Camille: Thank you very much for linking
▶ Linnea: You are very welcome!

birthday!

More birthday! Thank you for all the birthday greetings! I had a wonderful day (followed by a busy week and a few days with a weird mix of sore throat and migraine + visit from my parents :))

My birthday was pretty much about food: delicious brunch in bed, sandwiches and coffee for lunch and for dinner: Caprese and red wine and olives while cooking, seared ahi tuna with lime, fresh basil and mint, mushroom risotto with fancy bacon and delicious strawberry cake w. raspberry mousse and the best cup of coffee I have ever had;

 My birthday present to myself was a bag of Kieni Espresso from Coffee Collective and I have never tasted anything like it before!

 -oh, and the layer cake from last post was raspberry mousse (creme, raspberries and egg yolks) and chocolate/coffee mousse (chocolate, coffee, egg yolks and creme)

Bon Appétit

2: last week and all weekend Copenhagen was hit by a late spell of summer. We of course spent it at the old cemetery.

▶ B: Det bliver dejligt at få besøg -ved Elinor vil glæde sig
▶ Inger Marie: Elinor har arvet de fine hjemmesko! Det er måske de fineste sko hun har :)
▶ Lisen: Juhhu I hoped you would notice! She loves looking in it -and pointing at the cat in the grass and saying "nijau" + yeah you are so right, you have to grab the little pieces of everyday in between all the special occasions -some times I wish I could just skip some of them
