Picnic at Frilandsmuseet

Just north of Lyngby lies Frilandsmuseet (sorry, link in Danish), an open air museum where old houses from around the country have been rebuilt to preserve our historical heritage. As the only sensible thing he’s ever done, our cultural minister has waived the entrance fee to the national museums in Denmark. Combined with the beautiful weather we decided it was time for a picnic.

We texted pretty much everyone we knew and invited them to a picnic in the spirit of “if noone shows up it’ll be ok, but the more the merrier”. Turned out noone showed, but with the beautiful weather and nice food we couldn’t really care less.

For our picnic lunch Susan baked carrot buns and we made the best grilled sandwiches ever. We got some small steaks, asparagus, tomato, red onion, and chees and fried all the ingredients on the grill pan. The sandwich was assembled with a thin layer of cottage cheese liquified with basil, and the ingredients above. It tasted awesome.

After eating our lunch at Frilandsmuseet, we walked around a bit and looked at the old houses. When we left we went down to Lyngby sø (the local lake) and bought ice cream. Sat in the sun with our feet in the water and ate it. Overall a perfect day.
