Oh no. Please don't call us that

Met and Giz will do just fine

Pastry is actually not a Danish word. In Denmark "Danish Pastry" is called "Wienerbrød" which means "bread from Vienna"

Mette - do I have to get you "Wienerbrød" for your breakfast? What do you Danes eat for brekkie please?

mette · Post by **mette** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 8:17 pm

What Danish people eat for breakfast? Generally not "Wienerbrød". Normally we eat corn flakes or toast or yoghurt or whatever's available. Bjarne and I are not picky. We'll eat what you normally would eat for breakfast. Don't worry about it, I'm sure everything will be wonderific

I'm known for being able to eat allmost anything for breakfast. Leftover pizza, leftover anything in fact

I don't have a problem with Met, but I wonder if Giz turns into a horrid little creature when he gets wet..... like Gizmo in the movie

You guys are going to have soooo much fun, I wish I could come. I'd be more than happy to try weinerbread, for breakfast or any other meal for that matter

Laurie Lou, you will be with us in spirit like a lot of other Wonderlanders.

Talking of breakfast, a normal Irish/Scottish brekkie consists of the following.. Bacon, eggs, sausage, soda bread, potato bread, mushrooms, tomatoes and baked beans.
How I'm going to make all that for 13 people is beyond me, we will have to do it in separate sittings.

Not to worry, we will get through breakfast in time for lunch.

Back to my list again, why is it not getting shorter?

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:27 am

Mo - I couldn't eat a Scottish/Irish breakfast any more!

A piece of toast and a cuppa tea is all I have (though I have been known to eat cold curry for breakfast

).

popo · Post by **popo** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:27 am

My favourite brekkie is melon with greek yogurt and honey. Yummylicious. ***Slurp, drool***

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:05 am

Make that 12 Auntie Mo - I never eat breakfast - just strong coffee, I never feel hungry in the morning. Mind you, if I get a whiff of smokey, crispy bacon wafting around - I could be tempted. I used to eat cold chinese takeaway from the night before too if I had a hangover

PS: you forgot white pudding, black pudding, fruit pudding (yuk!) - see you Jimmy

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:18 am

Seems to become a great culinary adventure

But nevermind - I'll eat almost everything. So make sure you reach the breakfasttable before I wake up

Suppose we're eating all day (and drinking all night)

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 12:05 pm

I'm not a breakfast person either but like to cook for everyone else.

Just thought I'd show you this picture of John preparing the field, he had to cut the grass now that there's no horses to eat it.

Plenty of room to pitch your tent Lutzylugs, gives others a chance to reach the table before you. hehe

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 12:26 pm

EXCELLENT!!!!! Glad to see you are cracking the whip Auntie Mo

I bet John is being a great help to you - he'll think we are all bananas

PS: Bagsy a go on John's lawn mower - looks like fun! Stan would give his right arm for one of those! Shame our garden doesn't warrant one!

Thanks for the piccy

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 12:31 pm

Lilo, John is so pleased to know that he isn't alone. Other folk have to put up with nutters in their family too.

I'll tell him to leave the front lawn for you to cut, I can't do it cos my little legs don't reach the pedals.

Btw, John is doing a grand job of setting up the games etc. The prizes are my job so you better look out.

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 4:36 pm

I have a zisser (sisser or zisser - I don't know) so I can help cutting the grass.

Oh and the breakfast just coffee and some toast for me. The rest of the stuff is to heavy for me. I am heavy enough the way I am.

Rose

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 4:46 pm

Do you mean a strimmer Rose? That's fine, you can do the edges.

Breakfast is getting lighter by the minute, looks as though all the cooking will be for the men.

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:15 pm

Strimmer???????????????? How will |I ever understand you when I'm in Ireland. phhhhhh

I ment that thing that can cut your hair and if you doing it wrong it cuts your fingers????

Rose

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:18 pm

No - I think Rose means "Scissors"

Very good exercise, cutting the grass with scissors. Do that Rose, and you can eat all the breakfast you want, without feeling guilty

and then . . . . when you've regained your energy, you can use your scissors to give everyone a hair cut, or cut fabric to make Tartan Allen Whickers for those that want such things ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Is that what you meant

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:28 pm

Thank you thank you thank you Ann. I just find someone who understands me. I am soooooooooo happy.

And about the wickers.................. is that the same as a string?

Rose

the cat · Post by **the cat** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:41 pm

yes but a lot bigger, more like a rope

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:46 pm

I'm so glad I could be of help to you, with the English language, Rose. It's very difficult, isn't it ? ? ?

No - "Whickers " has nothing to do with string ! ! ! ! ! You must read through many of the other threads to see what people have been writing about. "Allen Whickers" is a British slang term for Knickers, which are old fashioned, heavy under panties - probably a bit like your grandmother wore/wears. We had to wear them to school, They have elastic in the legs, and my mother used to pull them down around my knees to keep me warm. They are ugly, ugly, ugly

I think Mo has promised to make Tartan ones for every one that goes to Ireland, and they'll have pictures of the Wonderland Gang sewn on to them

Hope this explains it to you. Could be cold in N.I. - you may be very glad to have a pair.

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:48 pm

Explain, please, Cathy.

What's string and rope got to do with knickers ? ? ? ? ?

Mine had elastic in

the cat · Post by **the cat** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:55 pm

A string is like a G-string. that the girls wear today,

I was making a funny comparing a string to a Rope.

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 6:04 pm

That's right ! ! ! ! ! I'd forgotten. The subject came up before, something about a Gold String, and I didn't know what it was. guess I still don't - after all, I grew up in my knickers, brown in the winter, and green in the summer

And now I'm too old for string - what ever colour it is. It must be horribly uncomfortable - think I'll stick to me whickers

the cat · Post by **the cat** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 6:07 pm

I with you on that.

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 6:20 pm

Thanks Ann for the explanation. I thouht wickers was something you put on your head. But I wouldn.'t do that now. I look silly than, won't you think so?
But wickers sound like wig, so that was for me the reason.

And yes I am a lucky girl that I can go to Ireland.

ROFLMAO

You two must stop I can't take anymore

But I'd love to see Auntie Mo, sewing the logo on a string or a rope

Hmmm...... oh where, oh where, will it fit .... nope not there...

maybe I'll try here... no not there either

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 6:47 pm

You lot have me laughing so hard I'm gonna burst my wicker elastic.

Sorry about the confusion Rose, I thought we were talking about grass so immediately made the wrong assumption. How was I to know that you use a mower for your hair and scissors for the grass?

Don't worry about us understanding one another, we all talk Wonderlandic.

From 'G' strings to 'G' ropes, where will it end?

Yes Laurie Lou, you imagine me sewing all those tartan ropes. John has been trying to picture the scene with me holding needle and thread for a long time.

I come out in a rash when hearing those words.
"There's a button missing from my shirt." ARGH!

Weatherwise, it's very hot here in N. Ireland but next week it could snow.

I'm sorry Auntie Mo, which words make you rash out????? I don't think your english is very good I don't know what those words mean????

As for hot weather, it's to hot here to enjoy to pool, the water is as warm as tub water. So I turned the air conditioner on real low & pretended it was winter, got me in the mood to rearrange my house. I rearranged behind furniture, under beds, in closets, you name it it's be rearranged. Heck, if I prentended it was winter any more I'd be putting up the tree

Anyways ladies thanks for the GREAT laughs, I'm sure you will be laughing soo much your ribs & cheeks will hurt.
