But there is still the whole almond to find in there somewhere. I cook it the old haybox way, except I use my waterbed!!!Forestwoodfolkarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037162477932342666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504112467947203806.post-54534411886271360912010-12-24T05:08:53.302+10:002010-12-24T05:08:53.302+10:00I have lived in Denmark the for many years after m...I have lived in Denmark the for many years after moving from England and have always enjoyed the Christmas traditions here. One of the things that really surprised me was that they have real live candles on their trees, they are small and are put in special hangers onto to tree. I love dancing around the tree singing carols too. The food is delicious especially the risalamand, which is actually rice pudding with whipped cream, vanilla and chopped almonds with the exception of the one which is put in whole. On top of this comes warm black cherry sauce yummy. Looking forward to it all tomorrow. Have a lovely Xmas and A Happy New Year to you!!! :-) ChristineAnn Christine Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469054449893163741noreply@blogger.com
