Jeg er en serie-junkie, det må jeg indrømme. Det er i høj grad én af mine ‘guilty pleasures’. En af de serier jeg er særligt besat af for tiden er ‘The Newsroom’. Til dem af jer, der ikke kender til serien, så er det et virkelig intenst tv-drama om en amerikansk nyhedsredaktion. Serien tager afsæt i de seneste års mest omtalte nyhederhistorier fra det virkelige liv. Plottet er en skøn blanding af journalistiske dilemmaer, faglig passion og komplicerede kærlighedshistorier, men det er altså ikke en pigeserie. Faktisk er drengen om nogen grebet af serien. Hver gang jeg har set et afsnit, er jeg overbevist om, at jeg skal være journalist og virkelig leve for nyheder på samme måde som de gør i serien.
Jeff Daniels, som spiller nyhedsværten, blev desuden belønnet med prisen for bedste mandlige hovedrolle i en dramaserie den anden dag ved the Emmys for sit fine skuespil i ‘The Newsroom’. Han spiller også virkelig godt, må jeg sige. Så det er altså ikke kun mig, der synes, at den serie er skidegod.
English: I’m a TV show junkie, I’ll have to admit that. It’s definitely one of my guilty pleasures. One of the TV series I’m especially obsessed with lately is The Newsroom. To those of you, who don’t not the show, it’s a really intense TV drama about an American news station. The show evovles around the last couple of year’s most talked about news stories from real life. The plot is a wonderful combination of journalistic dilemmas, professional passion and complicated love stories, but it isn’t a girly show. Actually the boy is if any into the show. Every time I’ve finished an episode I’m conviced that I’m suppose to be a journalist and really live for the news the same way the people on the show do.
Jeff Daniels, who plays the new’s anchor, was rewarded with the prize for best lead actor in a drama series the other day at the Emmys for his fine acting on The Newsroom. He does play really well, I must say. So I’m not the only one who thinks that show is amazing.
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.

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.
