Så' der kronhjort, Kurt!

Gik en tur i Dyrehaven lørdag; og det var ikke kun disse fyre der var oppe på tæerne ...
det var i særdeleshed også dem her:
Check lige de linser! Med camouflage, mind you. Det er bare ikke for sjov, det her :-)
Flere af fotograferne talte udenlandsk, så det er vist ikke for meget at sige, at Dyrehavens kronvildt igår var et internationalt tilløbsstykke!

Forest Day

Saturday! Tina made a delicious spicy cake, I brought my drawings, we gathered all our stuff, and took to the forest to take pictures for a post for Clemmensen&Brok
These are just a few I took with my phone camera.





I think we were a bit late in the season. We didn't find many as many porchinos as we had hoped for. But it was a beautiful trip all the same :-)

Sketching

Next Saturday, my dear friend Tina and I will make a trip to the forest, and maybe, if we are lucky, we will find some wonderful fungi to cook. Our little future city escape kindda inspired me to go all analogue and grab paper and chalk :-) I root for sunny weather Saturday!

Sunday spent in the Kitchen



One of the great benefits of having an office is that I seldomly work on the weekends anymore (as opposed to every weekend before). This has freed what feels to be a massive amount of time—time for some of the »homy« stuff I love so much.

Today I spent the entire day in the kitchen. I made a batch of pickles made from my late grandmother's recipe. (You can find a couple of pictures, and the recipe here if you like: at Clemmensen & Brok)

I made a cake and a terrine from the giant zucchini. Wheat and rye buns with nigella seeds, sausage rolls, basil pesto, and for dinner; spicy chicken wings with root ragout and creamy polenta. (might have gone a little bit overboard—admittedly I was kindda beat once we'd finished dinner :-)



The beginning of tea cozy from Saturday. Much too tired to knit now. Perhaps tomorrow.

I hope your Sunday was awesome!

I'm ready!







The photo doesn't show, but the zucchini is massive! As long as my arm from elbow to fingertips. I shall make zucchini cake, and a zucchini terrine with eggs and cheese. They had so many they gave them away for free at my local farmers market: Din Baghave (Your Backyard). Here they sell only locally grown—often organic—veggies, fruit, eggs, flour etc. all year 'round. Such a lovely store.

Tina made a post about the store a while ago at our foodie blog Clemmensen&Brok.

New issue of Marie Claire Idees arrived today. It is the best. And I have always liked the fall issues the best. This one didn't disappoint! I'm autumnly inspired now! :-)

I hope your Saturday is mild. It rains here :-) Wonderful. Favourite. Fall

There Are Reasons... Reason #3



Of course one can knit all year. And naturally, one can sit in the corner of the couch with a blanket in June. And light candles in april. But it all just come together so beautifully when the evenings darken, and the air gets colder.


One of the great great reasons I love the fall, is the curling up in the corner, with heavy socks on, a soft pillow, warm tea, and wool. Meters and meters of soft knittable wool.

There Are Reasons... Reason #2

The light was so beautiful yesterday. All day, the Sun shone warmly with its autumly low light.
Sweet friends and happy tummies. Perfect day.





Today is a little cooler. In an hour or so I will go for a run, let the cool air bite at my cheeks, and let light fill me.


♫ Deepak Chopra and Claude Challe: Transendance. I love the sound of his words. (I have a book in English by Chopra, when I read it, my inner reading voice makes an Indian accent :-)) I don't mean it to - it just happens.)

There Are Reasons... Reason #1


There are reasons why Autumn is my favourite season, and today I indulged in one of the big ones: Mushroom Hunting. The sun shone warmly and the forest smelled wonderful as we gathered enough to go around. A glorious day indeed.







There are more pictures and a recipe at Clemmensen&Brok :-) I hope to see you there.
