Sick and Whiny
My head hurts. My ears hurt. My eyes hurt. My sinuses are clogged I feel awful
. :-(
Unfortunately, I am not sick enough to be zonked out, so I am also extremely restless and whiny.
In times like these I miss having a cat. Most cats come and snuggle up to me when I don't feel good. (Which is kind of weired, since I never owned a cat myself.) Well, I had to make due with my dragon hot water bottle - not as cozy, not purring, but at least warm.

Today's calendar gift was also comforting in a sort of disturbing way. I unpacked a hand full of black LEGO bricks. (I wonder if there is more LEGO...) After the initial joy over more LEGO (yes, I do play with LEGO and am proud of it!) my inner autist broke free and I spent what seemed like hours letting the LEGO pieces run through my hands and listening to the clinking noise they make. Very soothing and comforting!Well, I am off to bed again. The wrestling stuffed animal is waiting...

Well, "armer schwarzer Kater", as your Grandma used to say in cases like your's - I at least can offer you some "virtual" cat-purring, as a couple of nights ago my landlord's cat sneeked into my flat in the evening, found herself a snug place on my bed sheets, and stayed there all night until half past six in the morning, purring away, notwithstanding me crawling in under the sheets and snoring along in my various adventorous dreams that night...(and Penelope, our rabbit, slightly jealous siting near by in front of my bed).

Hello :-)
I stumbled across your web page while on a search for pebernødder opskrifter. I hope you feel better soon!
Do you happen to have any definitive knowledge of the difference between mørk sirop og molasses? Do you think I can use them interchangeably? I have molasses over here in the barbarian lands (wilds of Vermont), but I'm not really sure what exactly mørk sirop is. Jeg har købte det back when I lived in DK, but I clearly wasn't paying enough attention :-)
God bedring!

I know molasses - we used to have that in Michigan, too. But what the hell is "m/ork sirup"??

Hej papa :-)
Mørk sirop is either dark corn syrup or molasses, or perhaps a third type of liquid sweetness used in baking. It's used in lots of Danish cookie & sweets recipes.
Cheers!

Hello Mosaica
Mørk sirup is made in the process of making sugar from sugar cane and I think the "proper" English term is golden syrup. You get molasses in a later step of sugar refinery. Molasses is darker in color and a little thicker.
I tend to use sugar beet sirup if I can get my hands on it because it tastes better (both in the pebernødder and in general). But to be honest, I don't think it makes a difference for the baking as long as its sweet, sirupy and dark. Take what you prefer or what is easiest to get your hands on. ;-)
