A LESS HEALTHY SUMMER DRINK

Goodmorning from a awsome sunny day in the North of Denmark:)

This drink above was one of mine and my sisters favorite summer drink when we were young kids. The other day all of a sudden I had remembered this drink and started to crave for it, therefore I made it of course, – and I still love it, especially on a warm and sunny day.

Take a big glass and put in the two following ingredients:

– Ice cream (I prefer vanilla and chocolate ice cream)
– Chocolate Milk

Mix and enjoy!

Meeting the Easter Bunny

Easter Bunny

Goodmorning from Denmark, – I hope you all are enjoying Easter, I am 🙂

Who does not love the Easter Bunny? – I do for sure, and I just want to share this cute Easter Bunny poem with you, – the poem is called: *Meeting the Easter Bunny.

On Easter morn at early dawn
before the cocks were crowing
I met a bob-tail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.
“Tis in the house and out the house
a-tispy, tipsy-toeing,
Tis round the house and ’bout the house
a-lightly I am going.”
“But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?”
“Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;
I wonder that you ask it.
“Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day.”
He perked his ears and winked his eye
and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail — what tail he had —
and stood up on his toes.
“I must be gone before the sun;
the east is growing gray;
Tis almost time for bells to chime.” —
So he hippety-hopped away.

P.S. I hope you all will receive a lot of Easter eggs this Easter, – I all ready got a cute Easter egg from J, and that’s without even doing me the effort of writing him a “teaser letter” ♥

Easter table decor inspiration

Easter ny Easter1

Good morning, today I am going on a 10 day holiday, back home to Denmark, to celebrate Easter with my family (Unfortunately this holiday I will be without my love J because he can´t travel this Easter because of his busy work schedule, sniff and snuffling).

Well – I love Easter, I love my family (mucho), and I love all the good Easter food, – especially my mom´s famous lamb dish and then of course all the Easter chocolate eggs with marzipan inside, yummm!

Do you, like me, also love Easter and all it’s traditions? And are you perhaps going to be the host of an Easter lunch this year? – and do you need some inspiration on how to set your table in an pastel – spring – sprouting Easter spirit? If yes, then here above I’ll show you a few Easter table decor inspirational pictures.

Happy Easter 🙂

Gækkebrev a unique Danish Easter tradition

Verden rundt i påsken

*Gækkebrev (teaser letter)

In Denmark we have many Easter Traditions, but  sending a Gækkebrev (teaser letter) is one of the best and most loved among the Danes.

This tradition is the custom of sending  gækkebreve (teaser letters). In the weeks before Easter, especially children cut out elaborate letters, on which they write a so-called teaser verse written in the form of short poems or rhymes. The letter is anonymous, but signed with a number of dots corresponding to the number of letters in the sender’s name, so that the recipient has a chance of guessing who sent the letter. The pledge is a chocolate Easter egg redeemed at Easter. The letter is accompanied by a snowdrop, which is regarded as the first flower of the year.

If the receiver cannot guess the sender’s identity within a certain time, the receiver will have to give an Easter egg to the sender, and if the receiver guess who the letter is from, the the sender will have to give him/her a Easter Egg.
