Fascinating overview of the history of Scandinavia from the Vikings to the present day. There was an awful lot I knew nothing about. A great preparation for my trip to Denmark and Sweden which starts on Saturday 🛫🇩🇰🇸🇪

LeahBergen Saturday!? Lucky you! 👏👏 4mo

CarolynM @LeahBergen I‘m feeling more overwhelmed and anxious than excited at the moment but I am looking forward to being there. 4mo

CarolynM @Centique Thank you, Paula💕 and you are very welcome 😘 4mo

rabbitprincess @CarolynM I loved the Museum of Copenhagen and Kronborg Castle, aka Hamlet‘s castle ? the beach at Amager Strand is nice too! In Sweden I saw Malmö, Ystad and Lund. Lund is BEAUTIFUL and a real university town. Ystad is a must if you like Kurt Wallander ? As for food, be sure to go to Sct Peders Bageri in Copenhagen 4mo

rabbitprincess also, smørrebrød, aka open-face sandwiches ? 4mo

CarolynM @rabbitprincess Thanks! I visited Copenhagen in 2018 so I'm familiar with some of that. I'm looking forward to Kronborg Cadtle very much & I'll put Amager Strand on the must visit list🙂 4mo

Rissreads I‘ve missed all this! Are you still away or back home now? Anyway I hope it was fabulous! X 4mo

CarolynM @Rissreads Hi Nerissa👋 Still away, in Aalborg today, quietly apologising to Jorn Utzon for the behaviour of the NSW government 😬 🫤 We have one more week away. When do you leave for your trip? 4mo

Rissreads I leave on the 18th. It‘s getting close now! 4mo

Centique Hi Carolyn. I sent you a wee “thinking of you” gift from a local retailer - but forgot to get a message attached - so a package from a shop called Top 3 should turn up! And just to say you are in my thoughts and wishing you better times ahead 💕 2mo

CarolynM @Centique Thank you, that is very thoughtful. Thank you for your very kind email message too😘 2mo

Centique Hi @CarolynM just checking if the gift turned up? Australia Post said it was delivered but i thought id better check 🤞🤞xxx 2mo

Icelandic Food and Cookery | Nanna R�gnvaldard�ttir

My version of blue ling in mustard cream sauce (blálanga í sinnepssósu), p 95 of the cookbook, with new potatoes. Very nice, and a lot less scary than some of the other recipes in the book 😁

Ruthiella Yum! 😋 6mo

Texreader I was googling recipes and yea, scary is a good word for it. 6mo

Catsandbooks Looks great! 🇮🇸 6mo

Dilara @Texreader In the tagged book, the recipes run the gamut from 70s anglo retro (lamb in a curry sauce made w/ tinned pineapple chunks & 2 teaspoons of curry powder 😱) to safe North-European fare to dishes that are very much out of my comfort zone (fermented skate) or use unobtainable ingredients (flamed puffin breasts). Main dishes involve strong-flavoured seabirds, lamb/mutton or fish, so not for everyone. All the dessert recipes sound nice tho 6mo
