Kør, Misse !

Kør, Misse !

Some major chanllenges since last week.  Jens gave me a little shock that scared the begeesus out of me.  After I got him off of the floor, I plopped him into his new chair that had just arrived 5 days earlier.  There was no way he was going to sit in that thing, he told me.  But after the fall, he has decided that this wheelchair thing can actually be of help.  Today we took it for a test ride to find out.

 At 3:30 we crossed the pedestrian/bike bridge to go to the mall for a bit to eat.

 On the way, once we crossed the bridge,  I make a left hand swing

to show Jens some of the new buildings going up in town.

There are new apartments going up on both sides of the harbor.

In the very far background on the left hand side is our apartment building.

 Here is a canal that is between the tiny island that we are now stand on and the mall is just to the left on the other side of the canal.  The skybridge in the background is the "snake ramp".  You can see the making of the snake ramp by clicking here. Just scroll to the last 4 pix to see the final result.

This is the view from our window in the restaurant at the mall.  Just across the harbor (and a little to the left) is where we live.  

 This is my view looking straight forward.  You can't tell in this photo but we could see the city center through the window that is behind Jens' head.  But all that you can see in this picture is our appetizers - Shrimp cocktail for Jens and Danish blue mussles steamed in white wine.

 And this is his view as he looks forward.  Down below is where I took the picture of Jens with the "Snake ramp" behind him.

 The main course arrived - a huge hunk of oven baked salmon with fantastic sauce that I could not stop eating.  And I kept playing with the potato cake and I must have asked Jens 10 times, how did they make this? ; paper thin slices of potato with cream in between each slice and not a single bubble/space without potato.  The cream must have made this potato cake worth 5000 calories.

Jens ordered the National meal - Stegt Flæske med persillesovs.  It's a gut bomb.  Oven baked or deep fried pork belly with parsley sauce.  The meat is so hard it will break your teeth, the grease will be dripping down your arms and the fat will stop your heart.  The butter in the sauce will activate any possible blod clots just waiting to be formed in your arteries.  Velbekommen !
