Minutia

It is the same word in Danish. Here is a collection of pictures I have taken during our stay to-date that did not belong in any particular post, but represent bits and pieces of our life here.

This is a favorite dessert. Whoever stocked this place for us before our arrival bought these.
We cannot have them in the house. We are addicted. A package lasts two nights tops.


While shopping for kitchen tools I found this cart in a store down Jorck’s Passage. At $16 usd it was a deal.

Copenhagen is mostly cobblestones. The wheels didn’t work on the stairs, either. What was I thinking?

The young man was understanding when I returned it. It did not make sense to carry it everywhere I went.



Just thought you might like to see the bricks from the street when they pull them up to work underneath. They are made from natural stone. They simply need be set back in place. This project has been recognized for it’s design concept.


The Danish Hot Dog is a thing. There are Polser kiosks all over the city. The traditional Danish Hot Dog is red and topped with mustard, ketchup, remoulade, raw onion, fried onion and sweet dill pickles.

Another kind of kiosk in a lovely setting



I love the celery from the open market, but it is too big for the refrigerator.

A healthy share became salad. Eight stalks of celery with their leaves and a big apple thinly sliced tossed with a Dijon honey vinaigrette, it was delish! We love these pan fried meatballs, too. They taste like thick & juicy Salisbury steaks.


My libation of choice is a good sipping tequila from the freezer in a pony glass. Tequila is not readily available here and it is pricey. All the groceries carry vodka, gin and a few other spirits. I found this baby IKEA glass in a second hand store. It matches the rest of our glassware. So vodka with a squeeze of lemon will do.

In NC I shop for a week or more and my freezer is always full. Not here.



Outside Aldi’s

I love their houses, the shapes and colors. I want to learn if these are individual homes or floors of apartments like our place. I will let you know.

There is so much more to see and do. Brian keeps track of where we have been and investigates where we might go.

The green lines represent where we have been.
With the lift of COVID restrictions more attractions will open. Stay tuned.
