This is actually the only American candy I brought with me back home from New York, since I did know that if I brought too much candy with me home, my calorie counting would end up going the wrong way (Even though it already will tomorrow, but you have the rights to sin sometimes too, right?). So right now, I’m just enjoying the last of these lovely rainbow twizzlers, since I have a few calories left I can use for the day. I hope you all had a great day!

 

Times Square is a place in New York, that is pretty much known to everybody. Flashing big ads on huge buildings, and lots of people walking around to experience this special place on Earth. We lived just about a 10 minute walk away from Times Square, so it was a place we actually spent a lot of time. I would say we actually went there at least once a day, not on purpose though. Mostly because we had to go there to catch the subway or get out of the subway when going back to the hotel. 

Times Square er et sted i New York, som de fleste kender til. Store blinkende reklamer på store bygninger, og mange mennesker der går rundt for at opleve dette specielle sted på Jorden. Vi boede omkring 10 minutters gang væk fra Times Square, så det var et sted vi brugte ret meget tid. Jeg ville sige at vi faktisk  var der mindst en gang hver dag – godt nok ikke med vilje. Det var mest fordi vi skulle med subway eller ud af subway når vi skulle tilbage til hotellet.

 

First time we went there, was on 4th of July (as you can see on the last picture). What’s amazing about Times Square in the evening is that even though it’s dark, it’s as light as though it’s day, because of all the lighting. Also, Times Square stores Disney, Forever21, Hard Rock Café, MAC Cosmetics, Inglot, etc. so it’s definitely worth a visit. 

Første gang vi tog derhen, var det den 4. juli (som I kan se på det sidste billede). Hvad der er ret fantastisk ved Times Square om aftenen er at selvom det er mørkt, så er det stadig ligeså lyst som hvis det var dag, på grund af alt det elektroniske lys. Udover det, så har Times Square også butikker som Disney, Forever21, Hard Rock Café, MAC Cosmetics, Inglot, osv., så det er helt sikkert værd at besøge!

 

Yesterday evening, my mother and I baked sausage rolls (Well, something kind of like it, at least. This is a very Danish thing, haha!). We made a batch of regular ones with pork sausages, but besides that we also made a batch of whole weat ones with chicken sausages. Those are my favorite ones, haha! We also filled some of them with ketchup and ham. Yummy! 

Igår aftes bagte min mor og jeg pølsehorn. Vi lavede en del almindelige med røde pølser, men udover dem lavede vi også fuldkorns pølsehorn med kyllingepølser. De er mine yndlings, haha! Vi fyldte også nogle af dem med ketchup og skinkestrimler. Mums!

Recipe/Opskrift (24 rolls/24 horn):
1 package of yeast / 1 pakke gær
400g flour (If you want whole weat, use 200g of whole weat flour and 200g regular) / 400g mel (Hvis du vil have fuldkorn, så skal du bruge 200g rugmel og 200g hvedemel)
2 cups of milk / 2 dl mælk
50g melted margarine / 50g smeltet margarine
1 tsp of salt / 1 tsk salt

Mix yeast and salt. Melt margarine. Mix all of it in a bowl, and then mix in the flour. Knead the dough. Then let it rest for a little while. When done, roll out the dough in a circle and cut them like you cut a pizza. Put the sausage on one piece and roll the dough around it. Put a bit of milk on top of them, and then sprinkle the optional sesameseads on top. Heat in oven until done, on 200 degrees c. One whole weat sausage roll with chicken sausages contains 121 calories. If you choose the ham and ketchup as filler instead, it only contains about 98 calories. Enjoy! 

Bland gær og salt. Smelt margarinen. Bland det hele i en skål, og bland melen i. Ælt dejen. Lad den hvile i et lille stykke tid dernæst. Når den er færdig, så rul dejen ud i en cirkel og skær den ud som man skærer pizza ud. Læg pølsen på og rull dejen omkring. Pensel lidt mælk ovenpå, og drys lidt sesamfrø på (Disse kan man selvfølgelig også undlade!). Varm i ovnen indtil de er færdige, på 200 grader. Et fuldkorns pølsehorn med kyllingepølse indeholder 121 kalorier. Hvis du vælger dem med skinkestrimler og ketchup istedet, så har de kun 98 kalorier. Enjoy!
