Before we headed to Carlsberg, we got the pastry of the day at our bakery (yes our bakery, we go there too often for it to not be ours). I don't know the name of the pastry we had but it was a flaky delicious croissant on the bottom with raspberry jelly/jam, LOTS of whipped cream, chocolate, chocolate chips, and more flaky croissant on top. Needless to say, it was so good it should be illegal. So, after we ate mad pastries, we headed to Carlsberg but by the time we got there the museum had closed (well it technically wasn't closed yet but we would not have been able to do the whole tour because it would take too long) so we just went to the bar for a beer (we legit walked for like an hour one way!) So I go up to the bar and ask the bartender/representative for Carlsberg brewery which beer I should get and he is like "uhh...regular Carlsberg" NOT! I was very displeased because everyone knows when you go to a brewery/someplace special YOU DON'T GET THE CHEAP BEER THAT THEY SERVE EVERYWHERE!!! So, I was like, forget this guy and got this special Ale and it was delicious (though not as good as the beer in Ribe). Needless to say, we'll have to go back to the factory another time for the tour and FREE beer!
After some beer and quality girl time, my friends and I headed home for dinner! Tonight everyone in my host family was all over the place so I just had some leftover stir fry (which I actually didn't have the first time b/c I wasn't there the night they made it) which was REALLY good! Because my host mom is lactose-intolerant they make a lot of things with coconut milk which adds a good and unique flavor to stuff (the other night we had pasta with a cream sauce but instead of half and half we used coconut milk).
The rest of the night will be homework, possibly TV, then early bedtime! Tomorrow my friends and I will be attempting yet another Danish tradition - partying all night and then going to the bakery for pastries right when they open - yay!!!
Food Log:

More snack: beer!
Dinner: stir fry
P.S. To answer mom's comment to the last post (b/c I don't think you read the answers to the comments I post as another comment), thanks for the recipes, I can do toll house - though do you know how important is it to use an actual beater thing, we don't have one here.
Also, I just went out with 5 people from my "core" class. This is the class we do the study tours with - it is technically my "major" here while my other classes like marine mammals, hans christian andersen, etc. are all "electives." We went to two very laid back bars which is nice. There are TONS of bars (and lots of clubs too but that isn't really my thing) so we never have a problem finding a place to just kick back and talk/relax. Nice atmosphere, not to loud/crowded/smokey - it's a good time!
I ALWAYS read your comments / answers as comments to every blog....usually more than once!
ReplyDeleteim so proud of you for ordering the different kind of beer!! you can get carlsberg anywhere, and i'm happy you are trying lots of different kinds of beer!!
ReplyDeletealso, a few tips for successful all-night partying:
1. no shots
2. NO SHOTS!
3. every few drinks, have a glass of water. i know you are supposed to do this anyways and it seems stupid at the time, but do like, three beers/glasses of wine/mixed drinks, then drink (or chug) a glass of water. it makes a difference.
4. break for snacks regularly! snacks, especially fried or spicy, or preferably both, are key in maintaining stamina. if you're ready for a snack but arent sure what to get, ask a dane!! drunk snacking is universal. if nothing else, order french fries (and lots of them!!)
5. don't drink too much that going to a club seems like a good idea.
6. stick together, and try to avoid drama (read: lacivious boys)
7. if worse comes to worse, boot and rally gracefully.
because when i throw up i always try to do it gracefully..
