PADERBORN SPAETZLE
Originally uploaded by rieggi

I made spätzle for dinner today (6 eggs, 2 tsp salt, 1 kg plain flour and a bit of water), and Phyllis cooked a nice lamb mince sauce to go with them.

When I was a kid, spätzle were definitely my favourite dish, and Léon seemed to second that – he was almost dancing in his high chair, it was just that good. :-)

Charlotte and Marcel, on the other hand, were much more indifferent. Perhaps it’s a dish you have to grow up with to love?

Idith in Berlin

Idith, min mormor, ville være fyldt 91 i dag. Fordi hun altid gik så meget op i fødselsdage, mødtes hele familien normalt hvert år den 10. juni, og vi holdt traditionen ved lige flere år efter, hun døde.

Desværre er det ikke blevet til så meget i de seneste år – det hjalp nok ikke, jeg flyttede til Skotland.

Camping in Oban
Originally uploaded by viralbus

The weather forecast promised really nice weather for the Oban area this weekend, and given that it’s a bit far for a day trip, we decided to go camping. So Phyllis and I packed up the tents and went straight to Oban after picking the kids up from school.

Oban is a really lovely town, and I had some nice local sole (søtunge in Danish) for dinner. The next day, we went home via Inverary.

I would prefer to have a dark tent, though – we woke up really early because of the bright light.
