Tourist in my own city

Here are some random pics from the weekend, where the weather was so nice - perfect for two tourists like us.

Monday, May 9, 2011

This weekend I had my friend from Finland over, and I've spent the days laughing my pants off. The best weekend in a loooong time! So this post is not for the week hearted, I just wanted to show some of the reasons for all the laughter.

I present you photobooth at it's worts. Be afraid, be very afraid...!

It all started when I just wanted to take a nice bf photo. But just after two pictures it escalated and got totally out of control. Should have known...

Our trips to psycho space.

And then it got worse. This is what I will look like in my next life, as a bulldog.

I have to go to the extremes to find my chin. But I have one!

I look like Ursula from the little mermaid. Maybe this is what Tyra banks refers to when she want's "ugly-pretty"...no?

The best bf photo. Nuf' said.

Malin went home today and it sucks.

Come back to me! If only you knew...

But after seeing how pretty my roommate looks in the world of genuine nut cases, I'll have to force her to join me yet again for some botoboothing.

This weekend in songs

Look alikes

I never knew I looked like Kissie, but apparently I do. I'm gonna go into the tub now with a knife. Don't come and get me.

I follow rivers

Favorite song right now!!

Easy food - perfect for sundays

A pasta dish, that doesn't need much preparation.

I came home after being at the gym, and looked desperately in the fridge to see if I could ourselves a decent dinner of some sort. I saw we had fresh spinach pasta, so that became the key ingredient. I took out half a box of mushrooms, sliced them together with some spring onion and some garlic. I fried them on a pan together with some bacon, and added pepper and some pesto. When the bacon was done I added some cooking creme (Milda Creme Fine 4%), some milk and 2 table spoons of sour-creme in to the mushroom mix. Meanwhile I had the pasta boiling, and since it only need about 5 minutes max to get done, this dish is so fast to make. When the pasta was done the sauce had been boiling for a minute or two and was pretty much done too.

Easy peasy. Cooking for dummies part 1.

BEO and Velvet Ale

Carlsberg just released two new products, and in celebration of that I was so lucky to be invited, together with Maria, to a release event in the city of Carlsberg. I must admit, even though I live very close to Carlsberg, I have never been there. It's amazing! It's like a small city built around a brewery, and the buildings are gorgeous, both inside and outside.

Anyways, yesterday Carlsberg launched their new soft drink BEO (latin for something like enjoyment/pleasure...?). It is a brewed soft drink, that comes in two flavors. No added sugar, only the sugar of the fruit itself, and no added carbon dioxide! And with a very low alcohol of 0.2% it is perfect for those days you want to enjoy something else than the regular cokes and sprites, without turning to the alcohols.

I must say, I was quite impressed! The taste is really good and the calorie level is quite low. It's nice to look at, you know, like in a champagne glass, and it's not too sparkly, meaning you burp less. Win-Win. I think, here in denmark, it's almost one of a kind, not resembling any of the sugary sodas, cyntethic ciders of alcoholic beverages. I recommend every one to try it! The apple-grean tea is my favorite!

They also launched a new beer type, a beer unlike everything else! Velvet Ale. A wheat beer, that doesn't taste like wheat beer... It's supposed to get the beer haters do drink beer, and if you are one of those haters, try it! It's not bitter like other beers and has a sweet but very distinctive taste. I like it! Well that's not hard, since I'm a beer lover, but I think it's good. Different but good.

P.S This is not a sales speech, I have not been told what to say or how to write. I truly was, and am, very pleasantly surprised by these product, and the event itself. A big thumbs up from my side! Just to be clear ;)

Inside the now closet museum part of Carlsberg.

The purpose of the event: BEO.

2 flavors; Blood Orange with hibiscus, and Apple with green tea.

Maria tasting Velvet.

The low alcoholic BEO, and the quite high on alcohol Velvet.

It has a really nice foam, and the reason for that is because it's brewed.

Fantastic beer and fantastic food, ALWAYS count me in!

Miss Maria striking a pose in front of the elephants. Niceness.

Carlsberg, thank you for a wonderful evening! I introduced the BEOs to my friends the very same evening over dinner, and already you have potential customers :)
