Efter et aldeles hæsblæsende skole efterår, hvor vi nærmest
gispede af udmattelse alle 5, er vi nu nået ind I det nye år med fridage her og
der og allevegne. I mandags var der fri pga Martin Luther King Day. Ulrik havde
fri I fredags, alle 3 har fri på mandag og det er kun Luca, der skal I skole
tirsdag. Jeg forstår ikke hvorfor det skal være så skide travlt hele efteråret
for så at køre på slap line I foråret. Nå ja, der er da også en vinterferie om
hjørnet om 3 uger…….
After a very hectic school autumn where everyone got
exhausted from the never-ending work load, we have now made it into a new year
where school is closed over and over. Monday school was out due to Martin
Luther King day. Ulrik was off Friday, all three kids are off Monday, and only
Luca needs to go to school Tuesday. I do not get why it has to be SO busy in
the fall to then get so easy going in the spring. Also the winter break is coming
up in a few weeks on top of all of this……
Kristian tog ungerne med ud at lufte I mandags, hvor vi
havde hørt at der ville være Detroit Auto Show I – tadaaaah – Detroit. Detroit
er jo kendt som Motor City men det var nu ikke en kæmpe udstilling. Men man
kunne prøve motor cykler, se en dragster motor, og en særdeles futuristisk
Mercedes:
Kristian got the kids out of the apartment Monday, where we
heard there would be the Detroit Auto Show in – tadaaaah – Detroit. Detroit is
known as Motor City, but the exhibition was not gigantic. One could try our
MCs, see a dragster motor and a very futuristic looking Mercedes:
Teresa var ikke særlig begejstret (mildest talt) over at skulle
til bil show med sine brødre og sin far, så jeg besluttede mig for at bestikke
hende med en gang kun-for-piger morgenmad lørdag morgen. Det virkede ganske
fremragende og hun brokkede sig ikke een eneste gang. Der er heldgivis masser
af gode madsteder her I Ann Arbor og turen gik til Bigalora, en italiensk/amerikansk
fusions restaurant der lå lige I et eksklusivt butiks smørhul, hvor vi også fik
tid til at kigge både I Sur La Table og Anthropologie (savle savle savle). På
Bigalora har de bl.a. specialiseret sig I bagværk lavet på biga (en form for
langstidshævet for-dej) og brugte det til at lave vafler. Teresa fik spist sig
igennem denne portion flødeskumsdækkede super vaffel med jordbær og
pinjekerner. Ifølge Teresa den BEDSTE vaffel, hun nogensinde har spist
Teresa was not exactly thrilled (mild understatement) to go
to a car show with her brothers and her dad, so I decided to bribe her with a
girls-only breakfast Saturday morning if she could promise NOT to complain. It
worked very well, and she did not fuss at all. Luckily there are plenty of very
nice restaurants in Ann Arbor and we went to an Italian/American fusion
restaurant named Bigalora, which was situated in an awesome little shopping
area where we also got to look inside Sur La Table and Anthropologie (if only I
was that rich……). At Bigalora they specialize in biga (a kind of slow raising Italian
pre-dough) and used it for waffle making among other dishes. Teresa made it through
this mountain of whipped cream with strawberries and pine nuts with the
best-tasting waffle she had ever had buried underneath.
