The Pancake Memorium
Patterns can be beautiful. Patterns can be ugly. Patterns can be hard to break. Watch me fall into the same old traps. Like a mouse for the cheese.

Shoutout to my dad for baking pancakes and bringing them to me. Above and beyond. I’m kinda having one of those days where I feel like I can’t face the world, so pancakes are welcome. If it wasn’t for the big footie game tonight I’m not sure I would have made it out of bed today.

I ate too many pancakes. There was really no way to predict or avoid this.
No regrets!

I’m going to retire early for the day and see if I can catch some dreams. I still have emergency pancakes in the fridge so if you could send up a gallon of icecream in the morning that’d be swell.

My mind has been so messed up lately that I forgot to mention something good that happened. I got a package with goat soap from Moonstruck farm! I think it was sent by Rochelle Troyano and the order made by Pat Lehn, do I have that right? Thank you so much! I love it when you guys think of me. I hardly deserve such kindness. Don’t know what I’d do without my Facebookerinos. <3!

I haven’t watched it myself, but I do believe the first episode of the new MST3K is showcasing an old Danish ‘horror’ movie, Reptilicus. I wonder if it’s dubbed in English? I guess it would have to be. I remember renting it on VHS in our local VideoShoppen (before it was taken over by Blockbuster) and watching it at home and actually being sort of frightened by it. Of course I was just a kid. And special effects was a guy in a rubber suot where you could still see the zipper.
I think I may actually be more looking forward to seeing Reptilicus again than by seeing MST3K again.

Good goat times today. Phew, I needed that. I actually hadn’t seen the goats in a week, which is unheard of. Normally I’d never do that. But I’ve just been feeling so mentally down that even leaving the house felt like too much. Which is silly when you know that seeing the goats is the one thing guaranteed to make me feel better. And it did of course. Cleared all the worries and pains away for a while. Cold day, though. We’re down to winter levels again. In fact I think it might have snowed or sleeted a little while I was indisposed. On the bright side there are now little greeneries growing on the trees. When I arrived today I found the goaties out in the dark forest, nibbling on the growing greens. I’d try telling them to let them grow for a while so there’ll be more green later, but I doubt they’d agree with my logic. I got a nice big bleat from Mia. Someone must have missed me. And spent good time with them all. I brought the dried banana slices that I got from a friend of Mia’s page. It was a big hit. I think they liked them even better than the saltines and animal crackers. I could have brought a santa-sized sack full of them and I think tehy would have all been snarfed down like there was no tomorrow. Big hit. Yeah, I think we all needed that. Hopefully I’m back on track now. Let’s hope Spring gets back on track too.

I can neither confirm nor deny that there is still Easter candy on sale in Denmark. I’d also like to take this opportunity to address these allegations one by one and.. hey, are you filming this? Turn off that camera! THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!

Heading to bed. Thanks everyone for the emotional support, and thank you chocolate Easter bunny for your personal sacrifice to the cause. #NeverForget.
PS finally got my Rogue One DVD, so I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow. Eating more chocolate. And eventually maybe watch Rogue One.

Oh boyoh. I love Rogue One. It perfectly accomplishes what it sets out to do. Great war movie set in the Star Wars universe. Hitting all the good nostalgia buttons, fitting pretty perfectly into its slot. And that ending with Vader being all Vadery and then Carrie Fisher. Now can I has The Last Jedi, please?

Can’t we just have 50% off Easter chocolate in stores all year round? Why not keep selling Easter chocolate in July and August. I think there’s a great business scheme here. Of course I never went to business school. Or regular school. Or kindergarten, after the smurf incident.

I’m reading spoiler speculation that Luke might not use a lightsaber in The Last Jedi and I can’t help imagining Rey being all “Do you have ANY idea what I had to go through to get this lightsaber to you, and you’re not even going to use it?! You #%&%¤&”. Maybe the whole movie will just be a continuation of the final scene of The Force Awakens, they’ll be standing up there on the cliff and Rey will poke and prod luke with the lightsaber handle and Luke will just squirm and dodge and go “nuh uh, not taking it. Don’t want it”. And Rey will try to stuff it down his pocket and Luke will forcepush her hands away. And then he’ll reach out his hand as if to accept it and Rey will try to hand it over but then he withdraws his hand and thumbs his nose in ridicule. “Psyche, too slow!”.

Aimee Mann, that’s someone I hadn’t thought about in years. I listened to this Goose Snow Cone song, then listened to Voices Carry and What About Love. It’s an 80’s flashback!
Moomincat! I remember seeing pictures of him a long time ago, it seems. He was a good kitty and would just show up outside your window every so often.
I sense a cat theme going on here. Maybe that’s what you need. A little furry pal to wake you up in the mornings. Hard to stay in bed when there’s a hungry kitty cat walking over your face!
Some people are sensitive to when the days are getting longer, sort of a reverse SAD (seasonal affective disorder) in the fall when the days are shorter.
You certainly wouldn’t want a Unicorn Frappuccino with all that sugar! It sounds disgustingly sweet. Yuck.
I like hot oolong tea with no milk or sweetener, same as my coffee. I limit how much caffeine I drink, too. Too much caffeine in the afternoon, and I’m awake all night. That’s why I drink my oolong tea in the morning with breakfast.
Hope you start feeling better. Sometimes the best way to feel better is to do something nice for someone else. Doesn’t have to be a big deal either.
It takes you mind off of yourself and helps stop that unhelpful “ruminating” in your head about what I should have done, could have done, etc. Now is the time to be doing something, you can’t do anything about the past or the future.
Wise words from the all-knowing, all-seeing Debster! Hee, hee.

What do you eat for breakfast? Oatmeal, muesilie, corn flakes? What about lunch? A sandwich on rye bread with a boiled egg?
For supper did you eat pork and potatoes and gravy?
I was reading an article about Danish food and these were some of the things they mentioned.
I know you eat pizza, chicken and elderberry soups, pancakes, and rice pudding at Christmas. What else do you or the average Dane like to eat? Is article full of nonsense or do you like rye bread?
A38 sounds like some kind of thin, slightly runny and sour yogurty- like drink. It sounds horrid. Does it come in different flavors? Do you like it?
I like Greek yogurt which is somewhat thicker than regular. I like the Dannon Fit and Light with low carbs and low sugar in strawberry/banana, cherry, and blueberry flavors.
All these food questions have made me hungry!

My sleeping habits are really crazy, so I don’t usually eat a specific meal for breakfast. Sometimes I go straight into lunch, sometimes I don’t get anything. Which isn’t the smartest, I know. Sometimes I’ll have some fruit or a protein bar.
Pork, potatoes and gravy is what I was raised on. Lots of pork, but also other meats. With potatoes. Meat and potatoes, that was a very Danish meal when I was growing up. For lunch it would typically be something on rye bread. Always rye bread. Rugbrød, we call it. Nowadays I’ll typically have rye bread with cheese or peanut butter. Back in the day it would often be with egg or some cold cut of meat.
It’s hard to say what the typical Dane eats today. Where I live there’s a very large majority of immigrants and refugees, and they have obviously brought with them their own cultural cuisines. And the classic Danish stuff has probably evolved quite a bit, I’m not sure it’s as standard meat’n’ potatoes as it always was. These days I mostly eat pizza or elderberry soup (or mama’s soup if I’m lucky). Or rye bread with lots of cucumber and tomatoes on the side.
I used to like A38 but I don’t think I’ve had it in maybe 15-20 years! So I barely remember. With those kinds of things I think I usually loaded them up with brown sugar, so I probably got more of an unhealthy sugarbomb mix out of it. That might have helped !
I’m starting to feel better, seeing goats and exercising. Hopefully the weather will get warm again. Keep on keeping on.
