Lise’s Birthday

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Daughter Lise’s friends had a birthday party for her in Denmark, and this was the cake or giant cookie they had. She explained that something like this is always cut at the throat, and everyone screams as the knife slices through. She finds this amusing. The party with work friends was at a place for high tea. I can’t believe how many people celebrated her birthday, including all the greetings on Facebook today. She is certainly well-loved.

We walked to the stop sign a bit later than usual, because Lise had a lot of work to do. A big project is in progress, causing her to spend hours at the computer to keep up with her Danish counterparts. Although it was below freezing when we started walking, we warmed up enough that we sat on the porch while she finished her cigarette.

Lise talked often about cardamom muffins, so that is what she had for her birthday breakfast. I made enough for three mornings, and two sets are now in the freezer. Actually, I had muffins because I like crusty ones, but I made hers into loaves with minimum crust.
