Barburrito i Skindergade er ubetinget det bedste mexicanske måltid jeg har fået i København. Måske endda nogen steder. Nu har jeg desværre aldrig været i Mexico, eller Sydamerika for den sags skyld, men jeg har ladet mig fortælle, at Barburritos mad er meget lig den mad, man faktisk ville få serveret i Mexico. Jeg har tilgengæld spist utrolig meget mexicansk mad i Australien sammen med hende her , som også var med denne aften. Jeg elsker mexicansk mad. Det er nok noget af min yndlingsmad. Særligt tortillas , som tit er på menuen hjemme hos os. Derfor var Barburrito et åbenlyst valg, da jeg skulle finde ud af, hvor jeg gerne ville spise på min fødselsdag. Det var helt sikkert et godt valg.

Vi startede deres egen lemonade med frisk ingefær, lime og mynte, som var super lækker og frisk og to portioner nachos lavet af madbananer med guacamole, da tjeneren sagde, at skålene var lidt små – og jeg på det tidspunkt var virkelig sulten. Jeg havde aldrig før fået nachos lavet af madbananer før, men jeg kan love for, at det ikke bliver den sidste gang. Som hovedret valgte drengen og jeg at dele nogle forskellige tacos; braiseret kalve med syltede løg, sprødt svin med spicy chorizo, grillet kylling med chipolte og baja løg og sidst med ikke mindst, hvidløg/koriander rejer med guacamole og rå bønnesalsa. Er du vimmer det var lækkert! Min favorit fra den med braiseret kalv, mens drengens bedst kunne lide den med gris og chorizo. Vi delte otto tacos, og jeg kunne egentlig godt have spist én til. Nok mere af lyst end af sult, men alligevel. Amrita fik deres burrito med grilled kylling, som også skulle have været rigtig lækker.

Desværre lød deres eneste dessert med ananas-sala, vanilje, chokolade og tequila ikke så tiltalende, så vi valgte at spise dessert på Scarpetta , som bare altid disker op med lækre desserter. Så fik vi også en gåtur og en lille pause, hvilket passede mig perfekt. På Scarpetta fik jeg naturligvis deres tiramisu, selvom de to andre desserter, som henholdsvis drengen og Amrita fik, også så vildt gode ud. Så er der jo bare endnu en grund til at komme igen snart. Alt i alt en skøn aften med virkelig lækker mad (og dessert). Så hvis nogen af jer leder efter et sted at spise i aften i København, kan jeg kun anbefale Barburrito.

English: Barburrito in Skindergade is without a doubt the best Mexican meal I’ve ever had in Copenhagen. Probably anywhere. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to Mexico, or South America for that sake, but I’ve been told, that Barburrito’s food is very like the food you’d be served in Mexico. I have, though, had a lot of Mexican in Australia together with this girl , who also were with me on this particular night. I love Mexican food. It’s probably some of my favorite food. Especially tortillas , which often is on the menu at my home. Therefore it seem like an obvious choice, when I had to pick where I wanted to have dinner on my birthday. It was definitely a good choice.

We started with their own lemonade made with fresh ginger, lime and mint, which was super delicious and fresh and two portions plantains served with guacamole, because the waiter told us that the bowl are kind of small – and at that point I was already starving. I’d ever had plantains before, but I promise you, it won’t be the last time. As a main the boy and I chose to share some different tacos; braisted veal with pickled onion, crispy pork with spicy chorizo, roasted chicken with chipolte and baja onion and last but not least garlic/coriander shrimp with guacamole and raw bean salsa. It was really good! My favorit was the one with the braisted veal, while the boy liked the one with pork and chorizo the best. We shared eight tacos, and I could have had one more. Probably more because they were so good than from actual hunger. Amrita had their burrito with grilled chicken, which also was suppose to be really good.

Unfortunately their only dessert consisting of pineapple salsa, vanilla, chocolate and tequila didn’t sound too appealing, so we chose to have our dessert at Scarpetta , where they always have amazing desserts. That also provide a walk and a little break, which suited me perfectly. At Scarpetta I of course that the tiramisu, even though the other two dessert, which the boy and Amrita tried also looked really nice. I guess that just another reason to come back again soon. All in all a lovely evening with lots of great food (and dessert). So if any of you are looking for a place to eat out in Copenhagen tonight, I can only recommend Barburrito.

Små ting fra den seneste uge. En virkelig kælen fransk bulldog ved navn Viktor, som den mindste, min kusine Alberte og jeg mødte på vej ind til Københavns Sandskulptur Festival . Jeg elsker franske bulldogs – og mopser og boksere. Boksere er jo vores familiehund; min mors tre brødre, min mor og min mormor og morfar har alle haft eller har boksere. Jeg er vild med alle tre racers muler, gode sind og hyggelige snorkelyde. Min onkel Anders’ hvide bokser Culfo holder som bekendt en særlig plads i mit hunde-elskende hjerte. I går aftes lå jeg på sofaen med hendes hovede hvilende på mit bryst, mens vi begge sov til en film i fjernsynet. Så hyggeligt!

En anden ting jeg er vild med er smukke København. Særligt når solen skinner. Nogle gange glemmer jeg helt, hvor heldig jeg egentlig er at bo en så hyggelig og interessant by. Sidste weekend, hvor byen blev vadet tynd med lillebror og kusine, blev jeg helt forelsket i købstaden på ny.

English: Little things from the past week. A really affectionate French bulldog named Viktor, the youngest, my cousin Alberte and I met on our way in to see Copenhagen Sandsculpture Festival . I love French bulldogs – and pugs and boxers. Boxers are our family dog; my mom’s three brothers, my mom and my grandmother and grandfather all have or have had boxers. I’m crazy about all three races muzzles, good nature and adorable snoring sounds. As you know, my uncle Anders’ white boxer Culfo holds a special place in my dog-loving heart. Yesterday night I was lying on the couch with her head on my chest, while we both fell asleep watching a movie on TV. So nice!

Another thing I’m crazy about is beautiful Copenhagen. Especially when the sun is shinning. Sometimes I completely forget how lucky I am to live in such a cozy and interesting city. Last weekend, where I walked all through the city with my youngest and my cousin, I fell in love with Copenhagen all over again.

I weekenden havde jeg fornøjelsen af at have både min kusine Alberte og den mindste på besøg, mens drengen var ude til adventure race. Søndag besluttede vi os for at gå ind til Havnegade for at se dette års Københavns Sandskulptur Festival. Skulpturerne var virkelig imponerende og alle har en lille beskrivelse af motivet og historien bag. Jeg kan afsløre, at mange af dem handlede om mænd, der hader kvinder, men elsker dem – eller bare bryster og numser. Sådan kort fortalt. Der var også én med prins Henrik. Jeg ved ikke, hvad den handlede om. Men jeg læste, at der er blevet brugt 3000 ton sand til de i alt 17 forskellige skulpturer og de kan holde 3 måneder i det danske sommervejr. Sejt!

Min favorit skulptur er den med isbjørnen og sælen der ser total skræmt ud. Alberte og jeg forsøgte at efterligne sælens ansigtsudtryk på ét af billederne, men vi opdagede bagefter, at vores hoveder skyggede fuldstændig for sælen, så de billeder gav ikke så meget mening. Men I fik til gengæld lov at se vores billeder med den store numse. Det morede vi os meget med.

Udstillingen varer ind til d. 25. august, så der er stadig tid til at nå at opleve de imponerende skulpturer. Hvis man har små børn er der også en sandkasse, hvor børnene kan få lov at udfolde deres kreative evner. Eller bare kaste med sand. Det koster 50 kr. for en voksen og 25 kr. for et barn.

English: This weekend I had the pleasure of both my cousin Alberte and the youngest’s company, while the boy was out at a adventure race. Sunday we decided to walk in to Havnegade to see this year’s Copenhagen Sandscuplture Festival. The sculptures were really impressing and each one had a little description of the motive and the story behind it. I can reveal, that many of them were about men who hate women, but love them – or just breasts and butts. Just to sum up. There’s also one with prince Henrik (red. the queen of Denmark’s husband). I’ve no idea what that one was about. But I did read that there was used 3000 ton sand for the 17 different sculptures and they can last 3 months in the Danish summer weather. Cool!

My favorite sculpture is the one with the polar bear and the seal, which looks totally scared. Alberte and I tried to imitate the seal’s facial expression, but afterwards we discovered that our heads blocked the seal completely, so those ones didn’t make much sense. But then you got to see our photos with the big butt. We had a lot of fun with that one.

The exhibit lasts until August 25, so there’s still time to experience the impressing sculptures. If you have little kids, there’s also a sandbox, where the kids can test their creative skills. Or just throw sand. It costs DKK 50 for an adult and DKK 25 for a child.
