From Halloween to Christmas

Some highlights of the past week...

Wednesday, October 30:
The night after Kendra left (so sad), it was my turn to help cook for our weekly Wednesday night Greenhouse dinners.  Lauren and I picked up the vegetable bags from the food co-op around 4pm and then began cooking shortly after we returned, as Makayla and Maggie went to the grocery store to get a few additional ingredients.  We decided to go for a Halloween theme, but had to abide by the vegetables available from the co-op.  We ended up cooking a delicious creamy pumpkin, apple, leek, potato, celery root, ginger soup (it was AMAZING), kale chips and bread on the side, and a chocolate pudding "mud" pie with gummy worms crawling inside for dessert.  Yum.  

Friday, November 1:
So every year, it is Danish tradition that on the first Friday of November, Tuborg releases its Christmas beer around the country.  Needless to say - it's chaos.  It was so much fun though.  Wallis, Torie, and I were lucky enough to be in a bar when the Tuborg elves rampaged the place and gave away free beer and Santa hats.  Literally the entire city switched from celebrating Halloween to Christmas overnight.  

Sunday, November 3:
I finally saw my visiting family today!  It is so difficult to find time when we are all available.  I met them at PH Cafeen and met Helle's parents and sister.  Her sister was singing and playing guitar on stage.  After the concert we went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant which was delicious.  I always have a great time with them!

Tuesday, November 5:
I saw Helle and Emma again today!  This time we met at La Glace Cafe right around the corner from where I live.  It was beautiful and absolutely delicious.  

Wednesday, November 6:
In the morning, I had a field study with my Environmental Policy in Practice class to the DONG Combined Heat and Power Plant. 

Friday night I leave for my last travel break!  This time I'm off to Amsterdam and Brussels with Wallis and will be gone until Sunday, November 17.  Until then...
