Good Morning! It was a short night this time and I still feel sleepy. I hope to be able to catch up on sleep after lunch with a mid day nap. Zoe, coffee and a breakfast bagle, please. I am on a diet to reduce weight, which also involves the virtual goodiies in this place. Dave - I forgot to mention that the Holstein people are a hearty breed. Wealthy farmers from the medieval times on, they formed the first democratic republic on German soil and even withstood the onslaught of the Danish troops in the year 1500, when their militia defeated the Danish expeditionary forces in the battle of Hemmingstedt. Sounds a bit like US history, does it not? Talking of Danish Pastry, I remember that Danish Bakery in Poulsbo, WA, which certainly was a gold mine back in the 1970´s. They opened only for a couple of hours and were sold out in no time each day. People would line up to secure their part of the catch! I doubt that this is still the same today, as the growing health awareness has put a ban on all sugary (and therefore nice) food, turning the Cookie Monster into a Veggie Monster. Have a turnip instead! The term Danish Pastry is actually a little strange and misleading. The origin of the stuff is German/Austrian and was brought to the Danish court by a Viennese baker. Go to any bakery in Austria, Swirtzerland and Germany and you will find them filled with that mouthwatering stuff! On a side note, in a German bakery you will find pastry named "Berliner", which adds a certain flavor to JFK´s famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech. You´ll also find a pastry called "The American", which looks like this <img src="http://www.marions-kochbuch.de/dru-pic/0475.jpg" alt=" " /> and is so sweet it pulls your teeth out!  You have a choice of a sugary icing or chocolate icing. There is also a French roll, a Copenhague and hundreds of others - yummy. As a child, my eyes always grew to the size of a a mill stone when my Mom took me to our local bakery! Bon Appetit!
