Movies and Baking

Saturday

I went to the Hunger Games: Catching Fire movie at 12:30pm in the big colorful theater right next to Vesterport Station.

I went with Josie and Becky and two of Becky's friends.

The theater looked like old architecture but it was definitely up-to-date in terms of really nice seats and movie playing stuff.

The seats were SO comfortable, which was good because it cost 95kr.
The lady tried to make me pay 100kr but I came back and told her none of my friends paid 100kr so she gave me 5kr back, MUAHAHA!

Then Becky, Josie and I went back to Josie's house. She lives an even longer bike ride away from her train station than I do. Quite the long, cold ride.

We started watching the movie "Arthur" while we waited for Josie's host dad to come back from shopping, and that was the weirdest movie I've seen in a long time.

Then we started making Napoleanshatte cookies. 

I mixed the crust with my hands!
Josie's host dad put nougat between layers of marzipan and apparently that's a traditional Danish candy!

This is what they looked like before we spread chocolate on the bottoms.

And for dinner we had potatoes in cream with onions and steak and a salad and tuna mousse on homemade bread (so delicious)!

Napolean Hats with chocolate on the bottom, instead of dipping the corners in chocolate.

Josie's host dad made crepes/pandekager for dessert, so that was also awesome and I took some home for breakfast.

We also started making homemade brown bread with seeds and dark syrup and stuff in it, but it wasn't done before the host dad drove me home (so generous) and so Josie will bring me some on Monday during class!

Sunday

I watched the rest of Downton Abbey season 4 today, and Molly cuddled with me because Simon wasn't home! I also did homework and readings and got the feedback on my psychology case study that I knew I did terribly on and I got a B- overall, so it's basically like being at Macalester, haha.

And I forgot!

On Wednesday after dinner, Chloe had some friends over and Bjarne and Linda made homemade hot cocoa and 

Æbleskiver and gløgg and roasted chestnuts and it was super delicious while we watched "Love Actually" which Chloe says is a Christmas classic. 

There was whipped cream for the hot cocoa and it wasn't the sweet kind so it went perfectly, and the leftover hot cocoa I saved in the fridge and have been drinking it with breakfast, haha.

We had jam and powdered sugar with the Æbleskiver and salt with the chestnuts. The gløgg had vodka-soaked raisins and almond slices and hazelnuts in it and it was all so hyggeligt and laekkert!
