From Denmark with love (and calories)


My wife Kirsten is from Denmark and the girls are attending a terrific Saturday afternoon Danish school with 60+ kids. Play games, do art projects, watch movies, sing at the Embassy on holidays (see picture), and learn about Denmark.

And eat. Eat Danish Danishes which are of course not called Danishes and are much better than what we in the United States call Danishes.

And drink Danish beer. Not the kids mind you, but the parents, at the yearly fundraiser. Carlsberg, Elephant. Really, really good beer.

So yes, the yearly fundraiser was this weekend. I did my part by buying plenty of the open faced sandwiches, drinking Carlsberg, and having one small piece of the kringle as the pastries are called. Not exactly great for the diet.

Did I mention the beer?

Geoff! Look at it this way...you were doing your bit for another worthy cause. If you did any "damage" from the fun of the event, that just means more money for Berga when you lose that weight too.
