Changing our tumbler, I found this alternative wiring solution hidden behind our old washer. It was almost melted and covered with ants. They might have set a tiny short circuit in motion threatening to start a fire in the future. Impressively enough the power still worked out, but who knows for how long. I’ve had my problems with ants in the […]

I like most cheese I haven’t always, but 7-8 years ago, I went from accepting mozzarella on pizza, burgers, lasagna and toast, to eating a range of varities fresh and cold on bread. At first I mostly ate the mild ones, but that has gradually changed as I grew accustomed to the taste. There was […]

Hope they are tasty. Update: they are :-)
I don’t think anyone expected that….

Stuff we cooked/ate recently

Sometimes its looks good and tastes well… Sometimes it looks less so, but tastes great anyway… Sometimes I manage to cook a Chinese dish even better than C….. And sometimes C buy weird stuff and make me barbecue it….
I just remembered something that happened last year just before we went to China. One day as C went shopping; she forgot the credit card in the slot when she turned to pack the groceries. She found out when she came home and went into panic. So I called the shop and asked them if […]
I really like cooking and baking. It lets me relax and forget everything else (which is needed when you have kids, trust me). I rarely have time to indulge in cooking up new dishes, so I often end up making the usual stuff with a twist. Normally the bread-baking business is C’s area and she […]

This read is the closest I’ve seen to describe what a vasectomy really feels like. Forget the “snip snip” stories about quick painless cuts. The truth? It’s like a massive slowmotion kick in the groin…. Sorry, but I won’t blow sunshine up your behind. The story from Craig’s List is almost identical to my own […]
C: Awww… look at Mark, he’s snorring… So cute! C, later the same night: *Elbows Peter in the ribs* Shut up, you’re snorring!

My first attempt to make night shots of the highway. Turns out that people don’t drive that much in Aalborg at 2am o’clock (30 mins before there were cars from both sides to get this shot). Also I learned that Aalborg is a tiny city, with few or no good spots for these kind of […]

Panorama from Aalborg harbour Considered posted a fullsize, but decided that 25mb jpgs might be a bit over the top.
Its a conspiracy! Abort! Abort!

Went to the doctor with Mark the other day. He weren’t feeling well and complained about his stomach. When we entered the doctors office, Mark sat down. Looked at me, then the doctor. And without a sound he upped, took my car keys out of my pocket and headed out the door. Theres no fooling […]
New old camera
Posted in Denmark on Jul 19th, 2012
Recently I decided that my older camera, a Canon EOS 400D, wasn’t good enough to keep up with my needs. So an upgrade seemed inevitable. My photoblog suffered from the lacking pictures too, so something had to be done. I started checking price range for a jump to a newer DSLR in the same line […]
This might interest you, if you’re married to a Chinese. Never heard that term before, but it I’m not entirely unfamiliar with the mild form of Sajiao. Thank god I’m the lazy stubborn and sarcastic type.
C finally got her drivers license. She might not be the best at straight parking yet, but got to give her credit for at least backing up to the house.
Yesterday I brought an iRobot vacuum cleaner home. I told C about it some days in advance, and she didn’t object. We have enough to do without vacuuming all the time, and with 2 rug rats around, the floor needs a lot of cleaning these days. This morning we started it for the first time […]
The other day I drove C’s sister and her kid to the airport. As we were heading for the car, I noticed that they brought 2 bags + a plastic bag with clothes as hand luggage. Only 2 are allowed. As usually no one listened when I told this in advance. We were 10 minutes […]
A headline that just invites to smartass replies, right? Caught your attention though, didn’t it? We have C’s sister and her 8 year old boy living with us since mid December. They are going home in 14 days or so, and it has been great having them here overall. C’s sister is a great help […]
One morning we decided to go to the local market in the morning. At the entrance we found Cs sister with a cageful of puppies. C told me that her sister wanted to sell the puppies. While C chatted with her sister, my presence created a vortex that pulled nosy people close. 10 minutes later this girl […]
