Anyone for a Carlsberg?

Saturday 21^st September.

Saturday morning is always a good time to hit the local markets, because that’s when they’re on!! Linda and I hit them mid-morning but didn’t find anything to buy. I did see one lovely thing, only because a lady was waving it around thinking about buying it. I waited for her to reject it, but she didn’t. Damn it!! Also saw the plaque that I bought yesterday and sent Linda in to find out how much they were. Luckily, they were the same price as I paid. Phew!!

After lunch we walked through the park to the Carlsberg Brewery for a look through their museum and a couple of taste testers. It was really interesting to see the process and to learn of the determination of J C Jacobsen to perfect the brewing process, and the discovery of Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis, a yeast that revolutionised beer brewing. Very thirsty work, good thing 2 beers are included in the admission price. There are posters hanging in the bar and I was disappointed I couldn’t buy the Carlsberg poster I wanted, nor my 2^nd choice. Those ones weren’t for sale.

Hayden would love this! High ropes course at the brewery.

It was starting to get late by the time we finished up at Carlsberg, and we wandered around Frederiksberg for a bit, trying to decide on what to have for dinner. Finally, a decision was made and we went to the shop where Linda and Ken buy ribs. Order placed, the drill is to go to the London Pub nearby and have a beer while we wait for our order to be ready. So much food!! Goes to show what a good relationship with the people who prepare your food will do. Linda says she’s going to bake him a cake.
