Spa spa spa

Mud, mud, glorious mud! We (Joanna and I) got a mud treatment, while Urzsula and Isabel had a face treatment and a hand massage. What luxury creatures we are. This day at the spa was our birthday present for Joanna, and I am happy that we all came along to keep her company and enjoy the mud too. :o)

Skivlaai vs Sportskage

Today is Karins birthday (congratulations!) an as it is custom in our department, she brought cake to share with her colleagues at tea time. I must say the delicious skivlaai, though worlds apart in filling and shape, made me think of the fantastic Sportskage from Konditori La Glace in Copenhagen. The only resemblance is the name that makes you think of sport rather than of the very unsporty, heavy, non-diet, and extremely delicious filling in the cake.

Tango Orkestret

My sister revealed to me yesterday the contents of my birthday present that she has been saving for me for two months now. It is a CD with Tango Orkestret! It is such a wonderful present that I could not guess it and I did not even think of writing Tango Orkestret on my wish list.
Now I just have to wait for an opportunity to receive my present from my sis, in the meantime I have to make do with the music samples on their homepage.
