@Kræz

About a week I told my father  that I needed a day off from "every thing". No work, no homework, no babysitting - just a day where I could spend some time with a friend and not worrying about anything. Yesterday was the day! MY DAY ! He only let me go out:

1) because i have helped him with his work without complaining
2) promised to be home before 22
3) I would clean the house before I left. 

Both my parents were out and wouldn't be back home before 5-8 and i couldn't leave my siblings home alone, so i asked my friend to come to my place and watch movie with me. We watched IDENTITY, drank some slush ice Julie made for us and ate some biscuits.  At 4 I started to get ready - and hey i'm a girl! - we like to take little longer at finding the right dress, do the makeup and of course !  sleep in the shower.... 

I haven't said anything to anyone, but I saw on Cafe Kræz' Facebookpage that they would hold a "buffet"-event open for everybody. It's because they have just introduced buffet as a course at the cafe and therefore made this "try-it-out-event", but it was a "first come, first served"-principe and therefore only limited seats available. I sent them a message ASAP with my contact information and prayed that would be lucky enough to be on the guest list. At the moment a hostess from the cafe called me, telling me i was among the lucky one to win a table for two, I was jumping around alone in a parking lot - just like a kid that was told by its parents that they would go to disneyland ;)

- I love Cafe Kræz! Even though the name says "cafe", it is also a restaurant with bar and lounges with modern furnishing, live music and standup-comedy some days. I love their ice-coffe!, their stuffed ravioli (ravioli al formaggi) and the Fish n' chips ! 

My friend and I arrived there too early(18.00) and my reservation was 18.30, so we went out to a supermarket. We played around like we were drunk and people were rolling eyes at us, but we didn't care (as long as i didn't know them personal :b ). We talked about food from the past that we can('t) find on the shelves these days. Some of us are familiar with Kinder mælkesnitte/milk-slice and often it resembles childhood, but another variant "Kinder MAXI KING" that is supposed to be "new" is actually old news. My friend and i discussed it, because he couldn't remember seeing them in the supermarket when he was younger, but i remember them clearly. They were removed for almost a decade in Denmark, but eventually came back with an annoying commercial. In the end of the commercial the speaker also says that the "KING is back". - end of that ... 

for some odd reason, I can't come to think of, I think have ADD. -.-

I felt a little bit guilty for acting like a child and leaving the store without buying anything, so I bought some chocolate with french nougat - c'est tres magnifique !

When we got our table, we ordered something to drink first, but it took us almost half an hour to pick something. I was craving for a smoothie and yet I wanted something warm to drink, because it was pretty chill walking outside to the cafe and I was still freezing. In the end I picked Chai Latte and my friend picked a Mango/passionfruit smoothie and both were DE-VI-LI-CI-OUS-LY AHH-MAZING !

From the buffet I think I tried everything, besides the meat dishes, but here's the list of food that was available(copied from their website and put into google translate):
