Denmark’s selection of beans is paltry at best. A few weeks ago, wanted to serve my veggie enchiladas at an impromptu dinner party, but I couldn’t because I hadn’t soaked any dried black beans and none of the four grocery stores I shopped had them in cans. Dried beans are definitely the most economical choice, but… Continue Reading
Saturday in August
The day unfolded perfectly and couldn’t have been planned. People came and went. We played cards, we played music, we danced, we ate baguettes and cheese, we talked, we laughed, we went wading in the sea…
