Fish At The Break Of Dawn!

Yesterday morning we woke up very early to go to Billingsgate fish market. We were there at 5 o'clock with all the traders to get fresh fish for the weekend.
We ended up having oysters, eel, crab meat, scallops, scrimps, mackerel and salmon. We saw the sun rise and set together in a day where we had nothing to eat but fish. I have to admit that I still didn't have the guts to try the oysters, maybe it will come on day maybe it wont.
I ended up being awake for 20 hours in a row and am today still very tired, but it was definitely a nice thing to do together. In a way it felt like Christmas time, where the my whole family is gathered around the table for days just eating, talking and hanging out.

A New Home!

For some time now I wanted to post these pictures from Dan Grahams New Jersey book "Homes For America"!
I find them so simple and beautiful. 
Today it seams appropriate to show new houses, since I yesterday moved into a new home. The reason I use the term home is because we found the most lovely flat in a Victorian House, which after only one day and almost none of my stuff here, already feels like a home. I feel really lucky to have found this amazing place, where I can hopefully stay for the rest of my time in London.
Tomorrow I will get my stuff from the storage and Tuesday is the day Michael moves in. Once we are all settled I will definitely post some pictures. 

Foodelicious!

Lat night I meet up with Michael at the other Michael's work to get some nice food and talk about how to find a new home in auturm.

Dannebrog Vs. Union Jack!

I held a pre-birthday party where I tried to outbattle the Brits in amount of flags. Originally th eplan was a picknic, but by the bad weather I was forced to take the picnic inside, and it turned out to be a great day anyway.
There was 4 different type of cake plus an extra special one, pizza drinks and great company from my London friends. 

The Grand Finale Birthday Cake

Great Company Great Food!

Yesterday I went for Sunday roast at Michael's house with the 3 ms.
I think everything that comes out of the oven in that house taste good.
Yesterday was no exception.
We ate so much that we had to go for a walk afterwards.
What a great way to spend a Sunday.

The Day Before Big Pray Day!

Tomorrow it is Store bededag (big prayday) in Denmark, a public holiday. It is not really a celebration, but what we look forward to is a day off work and the yummy buns the night before. The warm wheats!
So today I baked wheats (only with buckwheat) and even thought they didn't look perfect the taste was great.
And the two Australians liked them too. 

Most important ingredient: Cadamom. 

Finished

Valentines Heart And Licorice!

Yesterday I received a package from Denmark. It was yummy licorice from Claus and Emilie. It came really conveniently as I had been invited to a Anti-Valentines dinner at Man and Michaels, and  promised them to try both heart and tongue for the first time in my life.
So I thought it was in it's place to bring the licorice and make them try something new too. 

I have to say their attempt to make me try something new was much more successful than the other way around. Both the heart and tongue surprised me in a positive way, but I am quite sure that neither Man or Michael will have a good memory of the licorice or eat it again.

A Tymmy Full Of Yummy Food!

This weekend has been all about food. Yesterday afternoon I prepared my lunch for most of the week. Pumpkin Risotto and tomato soup.

Then in the evening I spend the time at Michael and Mans, cooking some food with a Danish twist  for them at their amazing kitchen. I got a bit of help from Man and the cute house cat, she was mostly supervising. The menu was Pork roast, and risalamande.

Today Lilly had invited me to come and make the next batch of Macarons with her. Lemontaste. It took quite some time and they were maybe not as perfect as at Laduree's, but they did look lovely and had a yummy taste, and we had some fun hours experimenting with lemoncurd and clean egg of from the entire kitchen.
