Sunday - bakingday

- Was a perfect day and weekend!

Yesterday I stubbled over the confectioner's shop named 'Konditori Antoinette', which is situated in Østergade, CHP. What a great surprise it was to taste the so-called 'Afternoon-tea', which is so much more than a good cup of tea (Kusmi - lemon and vanilla). There were small and a few pieces of sandwiches, bruschetta and different kinds of cakes, from brownie, to cream puffs, cream cakes etc. - in total only 145 kr for two persons.

A few hours and some walking later (from one end of 'Strøget' to the other end. Yes, IT IS a longer walk, when it's winter time in Denmark and your feet and the pavements don't cooperate because of the slippery snow) we decided to have sushi at the Haiku Sushi. Sticks 'n' Sushi go home! Seriously, this sushi restaurant takes you somewhere far away from DK, it might as well be somewhere in Japan. Besides the starters, edamame beans, miso soup and kimchi we enjoyed sashimi (salmon, tuna, kingfish, scallop and lots of dakon (kinaradisser)) and of course the ordinary sushi.

However, it was a kind I've never tasted before. Inside-out sushi with mango, tempura and strawberry among others (Combination C: 'Happy together Roll' and 'California Roll').

What a delight!

Afterwards I was actually craving for their ice cream. It's not a typical kind of ice cream, it's ice cream with two scoops of red beans and a scoop of green tea. Unfortunately they were sold-out, which was probably for the best. You can find this delicious Japanese Restaurant near Strøget as well, Nytorv 19 CPH to be more accurate :)

Today was the big baking day! My last real day of holiday before the whole charade continues once again. Well, I shouldn't complain. Back to the story, the baking day brought me lots of baking energy, so now my kitchen table is filled with not only carrot and sesame buns, but also pigs in a blanket (who would have guessed that's the English word for 'Sausage horn', which is the direct translation of the Danish word 'Pølsehorn') and last, but not least cream buns, which were made successfully (finally! It's not always easy to make these small creations precisely as you want them).

Pictures will be uploaded the coming days :)

The carrot/sesame buns recipe, although it's in Danish.

50 g gær

5 dl lunkent vand

300 g sigtemel

700-800 g hvedemel

75 g rørsukker

15 g havsalt

75 g blødt smør

2 æg

150 g solsikkekerner

4 gulerødder, skrællede og groft revet

Hæld det lunkne vand i en skål og rør gæren ud heri. Tilsæt sigtemel, hvedemel, sukker og salt - ælt det sammen i skålen (jeg gjordet det nu på køkkenbordet), ælt så det bløde smør ind i dejen. Ælt den i ca. 6-8 minutter, så den er godt gennemarbejdet og det bliver til en god og smidig dej. Lad dejen ligge og hæve på et melet køkkenbord, med et klæde over, i ca. 1 time. Lav en fordybning i midten af dejen, slå æggene ud i fordybningen og pisk dem let sammen med en gaffel. Kom solsikkekerner og de revne gulerødder ned til æggene. Fold dejen sammen til en stor bolle og brug en kniv eller en metalskraber til at hakke dejen i småstykker med. Sørg for hele tiden at samle æggene op og ind i dejen. Dejen skal ikke være jævn, men bare sammenhængende a la en hakkebøf. Når dejen er hakket helt i småstykker, deles den i 12-15 "klatter", som forsigtigt løftes med en metalskraber eller en paletkniv over på bageplader med bagepapir. Lad dem hæve i endnu 1 time og bag dem så ved 220 grader i ca. 12-15 minutter, til de er gyldne og gennembagte. Afkøl gulerodsbrudene på en bagerist.

Avatar

I must admit, this movie surprised more than one way. Until yesterday I didn't really understand all the fuzz about it, but now I'm just one of the several milions who's caught by the stream of Avatar. However, without the following media mentioned depression, which apparently several citizens of the USA are suffering from.

The scenery throughout this movie is spectacular, outstanding and most of all fascinating! Most important of all, this movie touched me in ways I didn't thought possible.
To put it briefly: you have to see this movie!

"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off your bowline. Sail away from the safe harbor.”
Mark Twain

From the Philippines to Denmark

From bare feet to boots
From T-shirt to jacket
From summer to winter
From no helmets to helmets
From fresh and ripe fruit to imported unripe fruit
From lots of different kinds of fresh fish and seafood to the more limited selection of fish and seafood
From rice to breakfast every single day to oatmeal with imported unripe fruit
From a simple more spartan kind of existence to a more complicated way of living
From a barrato kaayo way of living to a more expensive country

PINOY MUSIC

Pop music in the Philippines is quite popular, not only does it dominate the whole music scene when it comes to live music, but also the radio, television, videoke, karaoke etc.
Pop music as in Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Beyonce and other typical pop tracks. Besides the more Americanized music the following two music videos represent Filipino pop music, especially here in Cebu City.

This first one is obviously being played all the time because of the soon-coming Sinulog Festival.




Wondergirls with the song Nobody... the song irritated me so much in the beginning, must I must say that now it only gives me good associations.
