Hygge Dinner Extravaganza – København Eventyr

February brings Fastelavn Sunday, a celebration just before lent and a sort of carnival. This tradition includes costumes. Welcome to Tori, Sierra, and Joey’s Extra Special Blast From The Past. Guests were assigned eras to represent in their dress.

Brian’s students live across the courtyard from us and have regular Hygge dinners. This time we were included. The hosts were Tori, Sierra and Joey. Dinner was a vodka and chili spaghetti with meatballs and a vegan alternative.

Participants were assigned eras. Brian and I lucked out with 2020. With a little help, we called into the dinner on Zoom first. Then we showed up in sweats with masks. I had on an apron, too. I did go through that sour dough phase.

Jackie was a Viking and Bou was a hunter gatherer.

Joey was representing the 90s and Alyssa was royalty from the 1500s.

Reece was from the30s and Elise was obviously a flapper from the Roaring 20s.

Tamba covered the 70s looking all Miami Vice and Shelby was a goddess from before time.

Sierra covered the 80s and Emercyn represented the 2000s resembling Elle Woods

Nico was a Peaky Blinder and Tori was a Salem Witch

Dinner included a who-dun-it game. Tori was the emcee and Sierra kept track of events with her phone. It was a lot of fun. This was followed up with some ghost stories.

It was delicious. Dessert was banana bread with ice cream and chocolate sauce. They have an awesome kitchen in their common space.

Christian, Brian, me and Bou. Not sure what the reflection was across Christians face.

This was scheduled for the Thursday ahead of Fastelavn. The students were all leaving for break to a myriad of destinations. Some were going to Paris. Some were going back to the States. The Tagues are staying here to discover more of Denmark.
