This is why I scan the Copenhagen Post every day or so....Google Blacklists Danish CO2 Website.

Or how about this one on Petrol Pinching. You really can't fault the Danes on this. They love love love a deal. And on top of that - if someone were to go into the shop and say "Hey, you know your pumps are not working properly"...the person that was trying to help would get a shoulder shrug, and most likely a scorned look. Because - you're NOT supposed to tell someone how to do their job. How Rude! The other day a dog ran past us on the bike trail by the freeway. Then a ways down the path I saw the dog's owner (they live behind us). I told her that the dog was waaaaayyyyyyy the other way. And she just looked at me and said - no he's not, he's right around here somewhere. Okay, I was just trying to be helpful lady. I've seen her out walking since then, she WILL NOT look my way.

Then last Friday, when Peter and I were headed out to the beach - a nice hot day, I saw another man and his dog. The poor thing was laying on the sidewalk looking like it was about to die from heat exhaustion. They were not near any homes. I wanted to offer water (I had a whole big jug of it), but in the end I didn't. Why put myself through all that again.

Last night we had jalapeno medisters (sausages). They had a bit of a zip, but honestly our mustard is spicier than these things were. For a sausage topping I sauteed some red onion and Danish cabbage in olive oil and a touch of vinegar - a quick version of kraut.


And for dessert I had some banana bread with butter and jam. I used our family banana bread recipe, except I had to substitute margarine for Crisco. It tastes good, but its a bit more oily than if I had used Crisco. I know - some people ONLY use butter blah blah blah...but Crisco is key to this recipe. It makes a nice, moist, dense bread that's not oily. Disclaimer - this is not a commerical.
