Too busy

Dear readers,

I apologize for the lack of posts this semester. I am simply too busy with my studies this time. To not keep you waiting, I have decided to take a break from posting for the rest of 2013. I am so sorry, but school's more important. :-)

There might still be an occasional post every now and then!

All the best,
Nanna

It all takes place at the Hotel- og Restaurantskole. The event is not super formal and you get a chance to observe some of Denmark's best chefs up close.
Ever wondered how many ways you can prepare apple? Need inspiration on using seaweed in your food? Wonder if nutella and fish works together? Ever seen a "morkel" or a "brændnælde" (the last is the nasty plant with leaves that leave you with an itchy rush) - or wondered how to make it look delicious? Cabbage and cocoa together? And why would anybody choose to serve stems and leaves? This is your chance for answers!
From 11.15-15:30. Free entrance.
Best weekend wishes,
Nanna

Saturday

Free hangover food

Nørrebrogade is one of my favorite streets in Copenhagen - and it's partly because it's always possible to get a cheap, nice shawarma! It is always a big discussion where to get the best shawarma at Copenhagen's shawarma main street - but now we will find out. This saturday, the best sharwarma restaurant will be found.


This involves free tastings! :)

14-16: Taste samples at 11 restaurants on Nørrebrogade. Map: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zPOA5qbhLv0s.kTXq-0ZkCug0&hl=da

16-17: Counting votes and award ceremony at Nørrebrogade 66-68.

Also!
14-17: Chill out at the venue for the award ceremony. Music, free coffee and sweets. This is also where you get the voting-paper! Without that, no tasting samples. There will be 150 voting papers, so be there early! They give them out at 14-15:30.

Copenhagen Tweed Ride

The Copenhagen Tweed Ride is an annual tradition (though it's only it's second time around) and like last year, the profit from the ride will go to charity (this year, bike classes for immigrant women).


The ride will pass the lovely parks of the city as well as some of it's memorable places. Dress up fancy - with at least some tweed! The main thing is a vintage "grandma-ish" look. Hats, gloves, you name it... There will be prizes for "most dashing dame" and "most dapper gent", so put some effort into it and go to get a unique experience.

Sign-up is open, but be quick - only 40 spots are available. The price is 50 DKK for the guided tour and some refreshments on the go. Bring lunchbag and hipflask to keep yourself full and warm.

It starts at 10:30 and ends at 16:00, but you can stay to hang out after. Meeting place is Nørregade 20 at 10:30.


Where to get your hands on some tweed? Go to the nearest thrift shop! There is one at Lyngby Hovedgade and plenty in Copenhagen! Just google "Røde Kors genbrug" or "Kirkens Korshær genbrug".

Sunday

Zombie Run

The Zombie Run is an adventure run for people in all ages. Be ready to "run for your life". The route is 5K and will take you through the most creepy part of Vestskoven. There will be flocks of hungry zombies (walking zombies) who will chase and catch the runners.

You will be given a time taking chip as well as 2 lives symbolized by two strips of fabric from a belt. If a zombie catches one of your strips of fabric, you loose a life. If both your lives are taken, you are dead.

Runners with both their lives kept safe will be guided to the finish line - runners without both lives will be sent on a detour. It is a serious terrain run with time taking and clear route directions - just with hungry zombies chasing you. Expect muddy shoes and legs! It is the first time, the zombie run is around!

You need to sign up, but the webpage is not ready yet - follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZombieLobet
