Rolling Forth IV (Yes...Really)

We had a lovely afternoon with the Blackhams today.  We have been working with their GPS system in their car, which has not been great.  We went out in our mission car and used our GPS to find our way to the workplace of one of our wonderful YSA's.  It was farther away than we expected, but we enjoyed our ride and the beauties of the Danish scenery.

We arrived in the little town and found her workplace with ease.  (What on earth did we do before GPS?)  We went inside and asked for her and she came out immediately looking adorable with flour down the front of her.  Did I tell you that she is a baker....specifically a cake baker?

Her training was 18 months I believe...and it is a pretty exacting profession.  I have seen pictures of some of the cakes she has made and they are spectacular.  I have TASTED some of her creations and they are spectacular.  She is a dear dear young woman.

Well....you don't just waltz into an outstanding bakery, say hello and waltz out again.  We thought it only right to order a few items to sample....which we did.

We knew beforehand that this could be dangerous, so the Blackhams heroically stepped forward and took us to lunch first.  Fish and Chips....which were very good.  Thus our entrance into the bakery wasn't as disastrous as it could have been.

We brought our bakery goodies home....after a gorgeous drive past some beautiful beaches and stately (old and new) mansions.

We sat around the kitchen table critiquing the items.  Actually we loved them all.

Later in the afternoon, SK and I went to the home of a wonderful family.  They have two YSAs whom we adore.  The parents are amazing and delightful.  Sister Andersen fixed an Israeli meal (they recently took a trip to the Holy Land, and their account and their pictures almost convinced me that I would enjoy it.)

We had kebabs, an Israeli green salad, hummus and falafel.  It was all excellent, and happily she sent the recipes home with me.  I am excited to try it out.

For dessert, we had chocolate ice cream, topped with chocolate whipped cream, topped with mini chocolate chips.  I was in heaven.

Ok....it really is time to get serious about a starvation diet -----and walking 20 miles a day...30?...50?
