Danish Mommies

Through the DIS program, I have signed up for something called a "Visiting Family." It's an opportunity to talk, and spend time with a Danish family. I've only met up with the mother a few times but I really appreciate our conversations and the meals we talk over.

Today, I literally spent 4-5 hours talking with her at her house as she cooked up a traditional Danish Christmas dinner for us: Roast pork and gravy, baked root vegetables, and red cabbage.

What's even cuter is she made me Danish Christmas treats to bring home: coconut chocolate oat balls, marzipan with nougat(a very Danish thing), and cookies.

And apparently that wasn't enough because she also gave me a bag of her homemade bread and a sleeping bag (to keep) as well. Why are Danish moms so nice????
