Ours is a true garden of nature's wonders. This morning, we were pleased to discover that the mushroom had unfurled its cap, and it was picture-perfect.
Malene discovered these beauties in the Little Wood in our garden.
My friends, this is a true meat orgy called Drunken Beer Pot. Pork, bacon, sausages, and whatnot stewed in a beer sauce. This was the first dish ever that defeated me -- I simply couldn't finish it. It was delicious, but, boy, was it heavy!
We spent last weekend in Aalborg and visited Søgaards Bryghus (a restaurant with its own brewery). On the right: Rauch, a smoked beer. On the left: Black Swan, a super strong (12%) and intense stout. I was expecting Rauch to taste similar to Schlenkerla, but it didn't. Black Swan is available only in a 0.2L size because it's so intense. The waiter insisted that I try Rauch before I ordered it, because most Danes send it back after tasting it. Pfft, amateurs! To her surprise, I liked it.
Saturday's highlight.
…aaand done! And by done, I mean there is still so much work to do.
We've finally reached a point, where we can clear the room to make it ready for the next stage.
I love instant ramen. So of course, I had to try this creamy bulgogi flavor pasta. It tasted surprisingly good. But calling it food would be a stretch. Chemistry kit is more like it.
Flower snapshot du jour.
At this point, we've pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that most of the work in the house was done by a madman. But even so, there are some things that leave us scratching our heads. Case in point: the pictured staircase to the upper floor. You probably can't see it, but the handrails are not the same length. What's worse is that if the left handrail were the same length, it could have been screwed perfectly into the wooden plank. Instead, it was screwed into the seam between two planks, splitting one of them in the process.
I bet you're wondering why on earth I'm sharing a photo of a clothespin. I'll tell you why.
One thing we've learned about spiders is that they can spin cobwebs practically anywhere in no time at all. Exhibit A: an enterprising spider not only managed to spin a web around the clothespin (and even caught a meal in it), but also decided that the clothespin itself makes a pretty good shelter. You can see its tiny butt sticking out right under the spring.
Now that we've had some proper rain, we're finding these tiny, adorable frogs everywhere in our garden.
