What? Thursday AGAIN?

First of all, a recipe!

Rødgrød med Fløde - Danish Red Berry Pudding with Cream

Rødgrød med fløde, red berry pudding with cream, is the hallmark dessert of Denmark. Use tart berries like red currants if you can find them; if using strawberries, reduce the amount of sugar so it isn't too sweet. Many recipes include rhubarb as well.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Chill: 2 hours

·         1 1/2 lb. red berries or fruit (red currants, black currants, raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb, or a combination)

·         3 cups water

·         1 cup sugar

·         1/4 cup potato starch or cornstarch, dissolved in 1/2 cup cold water

·         1 cup heavy cream, plain or whipped with 1 Tbsp. vanilla sugar

Clean the fruit well; chop rhubarb, if using, into 1-inch pieces. Place into nonreactive saucepan and cover with 3 cups water; simmer over medium low heat until the fruit falls apart. Remove from heat and strain juice through cheesecloth or a fine-meshed sieve; dispose of berry seeds.

Return juice to heat, stir in sugar, and bring to a low boil; reduce heat to medium and add the dissolved potato flour liquid to thicken. Stir the mixture constantly until it begins to gel to the consistency of a heavy syrup. Remove from heat, pour into individual serving bowls, cover with cling wrap, and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to two days. Serve chilled with either plain or whipped cream.


This was an unusual day for Wednesday.  This is the day we normally do shopping, and we did, but not much.  Fortunately we have most of the supplies on hand.

At one, I got my hair cut.  It is shorter than I wanted, but she took her time and layered it well, so I think it will grow out gracefully.  I would take a picture and show you, but it is late and it doesn't look so great at this moment!  I am pleased with it.

We had dinner with a member.  She fixed tenderloins topped with onions and mushrooms.  It was excellent....and she showed me how she did it.  So if you ever come to see us, I will fix this great Danish dish for you!

She is a very kind lady who has had some difficulties in this life, and I pray that she will find peace and joy in the gospel.  She is the only member in her family and I believe she is around 60 years old.  She has been a member for over 20 years and is a faithful woman.  It was wonderful to spend that time with her.  

Since we got home, we called our oldest granddaughter to wish her a happy 17th birthday.  Hey....wasn't I just 17?  I guess not, since SK and I will celebrate our 46th anniversary in a few days.  
I have baked a cake for tomorrow and have the chicken crocking away in the crockpot.

I think I am ready for tomorrow.
