You love organizing things, don't you...?

That’s great to have someone around who likes to be prepared… I wonder if you’re organized in all aspects of your life?

Some might say I'm complusive

I’m always making lists, but Jimrin when you have five kids, you need to be super organised, and so I make lists with that many voices yelling at me I need to be able to read what I’m doing and whats coming up next.. so if you asked those around me I’m sure they’d say “Yes she’s organised” They always call on me for party planning and my husband loves it when we go on holidays because I like to be thrifty and organised.

Since you may be the most organized person I know...

by chance, do you happen to know (or have a way to find out) what are the food specialties of Norway and Denmark?

While you're in Denmark..

Say hello to Australian Princess Mary please…tell her Kimmy said “G’day Mary” LOL

Denmark!
Food and diet
Open sandwiches, plenty of meat and many dairy products are characteristic components of the Danish diet Denmark used to be an agricultural nation, which characterises Danish food habits. Generally, the Danes eat a lot of meat and dairy products.

Breakfast
In their daily life the Danes typically eat bread with cheese or a bowl of cornflakes or oatmeal with milk or yoghurt. They also eat many dairy products, including milk, cream and cheese.

Lunch
For lunch most of the Danes eat rye bread with some kind of pate or cold cut, also known as ’smørrebrød.’ Rye bread is dark bread and its main ingredients are leaven and rye flour.

Dinner
For dinner the Danes usually have a warm meat meal with potatoes, rice or pasta.
The Danes eat a lot of meat, especially pork that is used in a range of dishes.

Snacks
In general, the Danes eat a lot of sweets, chocolate and cake.

There’s something to get you started Jimrin!

Thanks for the info!

I knew I could count on you! I’ll say hello for you to Princess Mary. We may go out for some tea and scones. (Do you guys eat scones in Australia?)

Anyway, unfortunately, doesn’t sound too terribly exciting about the food though. I also read somewhere in the Lonely Planet guide of Norway that Norwegian food is also not something to write home about…

Oh well, not going there for the food… So I assume this does not qualify as a Foodies Tour trip.

By the way, I wonder what danish tastes like in Denmark.
