Here, There and Everywhere

Hello from Denmark

marginator — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:36:27 +1000

Right now we are enjoying a typical Danish summer, meaning my shorts and tanktops are still sitting untouched in my suitcase. I suppose, though, that it's been nice, especially for Morten, to have a respite from the oppressive Beijing heat. Hope everyone is having a great summer. Pictures soon!

Hutong Cuisine

marginator — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:39:19 +1000

Our good friends Jan and Nanny have left China now, but before Jan left, we got together for a cooking class. We learned Gung Bao Chicken, Black Pepper Beef, Dry Fried Green Beans, and Braised Fish. The class was in a traditional hutong courtyard kitchen, complete with a dog under our feet and cats running around on the roof. It's definitely something to try again.

Picture test

The photo system for this blog is a bit clunky, but since I am running out of options, I thought I'd better figure it out.

This is a photo of me cooking Gung Bao chicken at a recent Hutong Cuisine cooking class. More to come!

Positiveness

After my last post, I feel the need to send out something positive.

The sun was shining and it was warm today, and in spite of the crowd at the pool, I managed to get myself a deck chair. For dinner, I ordered us pizza, and though I was slightly skeptical after the shaky phone conversation, we happily received the right items.

Tomorrow promises new adventure. Seize the day, everyone.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Catching up

I have really struggled with keeping this blog updated, but since access to my blogspot seems to have been permanently blocked, I have to figure out a way to make this one work. I am going to post some links to my facebook photos in an effort to catch up. More to come.

Sailing Pictures, Denmark 7.2008

marginator — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 03:20:40 +1000

Here are some pictures from the sailing trip I mentioned in my previous post. Don't I look like a pro?

I have also posted this at margieschuh.blogspot.com as a slideshow since I have access, but I will continue to blog here just in case.

First China to Denmark

marginator — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:18:04 +1000

We are now in Denmark, and Morten and I have successfully completed our first voyage in Lunde, our 33 foot sailboat. We moved it from Augustenborg to Struer in six days and had a great time doing it. In spite of my knowledge about sailing being limited to the fact that you use wind to move the boat across the water and Morten being a very spontaneous mid-crisis teacher, I did okay, even becoming somewhat helpful toward the end of the trip. Pictures will come later as I am updating this from what is becoming my regular computer at the Holstebro Library. The weather here is unexpectedly good (nice weather here is always unexpected to me), and I'm crossing my fingers for it to hold out for the next week or so before we leave.

My Birthday

I had a great birthday this year. As you will see in the photos, Morten made me several culinary delights, and I got some lovely presents.
