Skankynavia: Bangin’ Cock Delish (Bangkok)
I’ve fallen in love with the Bangin’ Cock, aka Bangkok, the frantic and exotic capital of Thailand. Just returned home to the rather chilly degrees of Copenhagen from a sensual 33ËšC, and I severely miss the hot sticky nights, tall palm trees, weird exotic birds, first class pool swimming–and most importantly, the almost hilarious abundance […]

Skankynavia: Nikolaos Strangas Cakeaway (CPH)
My neighbourhood is changing rapidly these days– for the better. The whole block used to be really sad, shopping-wise. A nasty old bakery with day-old bread, Christian-sects’ offices, and three different Thai “massage” parlours (last year a war broke out between them, and the hookers smashed each other’s glass windows with bricks every night, what […]

Skankynavia: Wintering in Sicily
It’s a blah blah world here in Skankynavia. Bad economy, rising unemployment, snow storms, ice rain, foggy days without sunrise or sunset. It’s even more depressing than watching Depression Cooking With Clara. As previously written, studies have shown that over 40% of Scandinavians feel affected moodwise when the winter kicks in, as our days are […]

Skankynavia: Greenland Galore at DayCatch (CPH)
Did you know that Greenland is part of the Royal Danish Kingdom? Well, neither do most Danes actually (they’re busy watching American TV shows instead). But it is, along with the Faroe Islands– and we used to own Iceland too. Since 2009 Greenland has gained 99% self control although Denmark is still supporting the island […]

Skankynavia: A Real Man’s Wet Lunch
We don’t have that many traditions left in our royal kingdom of Denmark, and the European Union is certainly making a big effort trying to convert the entire countries of Europe into one gigantic, bland mess. The EU is just like throwing everything you find in the fridge into the food processor: nothing good will […]

Skankynavia: Danish Winter Wonderland
It’s a Snow Wonderland/ Snow Hell in Denmark (and most of Northern Europe) right now– depending on whom you talk to. Thousands of families have celebrated their Christmas Eve together with strangers in a gym hall on military bunk beds as their further journey was clogged with several tons of snow. That sure takes a […]

Skankynavia: Danish XXXmas Snacks
This weekend two designer friends Louise Gaarmann, Tina Ratzer and I threw a “julestue” (directly translated: “christmas livingroom”) which is sort of a Christmas market with things to buy and stuff to snack on– but in my apartment and not in a local store. It was an experiment and I was biting my teeth beforehand. […]

Skankynavia: Dinner Party with Gay Alien Cats
Ok, so this is a post where everything went wrong. I thought I was going to report on a dinner party with nice pictures of Scandinavian kitchenware, but then the snow storm arrived, people cancelled and the host’s apartment was way too dark to take any real nice photos. But hey, I tried and we […]

Skankynavia: Foodshop No. 55 (CPH)
Last night there was a big snow storm here in Copenhagen. At some point I looked out the window and saw huge lightning flashes across the horizon. Never experienced this combination before, it was beautiful and intense. And so due to all the sudden snow everything is moving in a snow-slow pace. Most planes out […]
