Welcome to my Sunday breakfast:
Pineapple, apple juice, tea, and rice pudding with cinnamon and butter, the latter being a Christmas favourite among Danes. In the background you see the advent gift I got from my mother – one for each Sunday in December, lucky me. This contained a beautiful star to hang in my window.
I [...]

Today November showed itself from the bleakest, wettest, and darkest side but yesterday was a beautiful and sunny day that ended in the most Turneresque dusk with a Cheshire cat moon above and all the quietude you could dream of. I saw it with my mum and aunt from the grounds around the small manor [...]

First day of my least favorite month. Ugh. November. And of course today was grey, windy and cold. But I got to eat brunch with a great friend and that’s what one should do. Eat.
I have been looking for a good picture… and all I found was this sort of Altdorfer’ish thing from Sweden. But [...]

Aren’t these onions on the dark ground just the perfect illustration for autumn?
I’d use them in a stew of some kind – one that should be simmering all day. Or maybe for a French style onion soup like this one.

It seems that the Danes are returning to tasty varieties of apples instead of just those shiny and huge ones that last forever. Until recently Granny Smith seemed to be the only apple around but now you can get Discovery, Ingrid Marie, Gråsten (Gravenstein), Cox Orange, Filippa and others. I think it’s wonderful to find [...]

This has more or less been the general mood these last few days – especially if you add some wind:
I saw this door handle in Lübeck, Germany last year, and I find it quite charming. Crossing my fingers for the weekend…I will not accept October weather in September. No, no.

During the part of my summer vacation I spent in the Danish countryside I went on a fantastic picnic with my family. After sandwiches and cider we went for a walk along the fields where they were already harvesting.
It was a beautiful sight and I ache to escape the city again and go back to [...]

Even though my family summer house is in an area with a lot of small houses there is some wild life and it seems more and more as the years go by. This summer we were often visited by a couple of these guys. A male and a female.
This evening one of them almost jumped [...]
