Thank you to visitors, Vikings and volunteers. A lot of people came around to say Goddag to our Vikings and have a quick chat. A special thank you to the organisers for helping with handling our ice cream display freezer weighing almost half a tonne. It will be exciting to see the final result. The festival kicked off our busy season and there are lots of activities planned for the next couple of months. Make sure you put a cross in your calendar to join us for the Christmas fun!

Dansk legegruppe Hver fredag 9.30-11.30 36 Austin St, Newstead 1. søndag i måneden 10-12 (find os på Facebook) Vi mødes hver fredag og den 1. søndag i måneden for at snakke og lege sammen på dansk. Da vores lille faste gruppe svinger lidt i deltagere pga ferier, oftest til Danmark og arbejde mv, vil vi meget gerne se flere medlemmer. Vi tror trods alt det gavner børnene at mødes og lege samt høre, at vi alle taler dansk. Vi starter normalt med fri leg og ca kl 11 sidder vi alle omkring et bord og spiser vores medbragte mad og slutter gerne dagen med nogle danske børnesange.

Søndag den 31. oktober er dagen for Halloween eller Allehelgensaften om man vil. Halloween er oprindeligt en gammel keltisk højtid. En tradition som med tiden blandt andet har udviklet sig til en populær begivenhed i USA og har de seneste år fundet indpas og stigende popularitet i Danmark. Halloween er festtid med gys, spøgelseshistorier, skræmmende udklædninger og græskarlamper med lys. Netop lamperne udskåret i græskar og deres orange farve er blevet et synonym og symbol på Halloween. SPØGELSESKYS De små marengskager er måske i virkeligheden mere søde og nuttede end uhyggelige at se på. Det gælder for øvrigt også smagen. Men det passer alt sammen meget godt ind i Halloweens ånd, som netop er spøgelser og gys med et glimt i øjet. Søde sprøde spøgelser (20 stk.) 3 past. æggehvider 225 g sukker 100 g ODENSE Hvid Chokolade 200 g ODENSE Ren Rå Marcipan Små sølvkugler Pisk æggehviderne luftige og stive. Drys sukkeret i lidt af gangen, mens der piskes og pisk til marengsen er sej. Hak chokoladen og vend den i marengs-blandingen. Skær marcipanen i 20 skiver og læg dem på en bageplade med bagepapir. Fyld marengsen i en plastpose (eller en sprøjtepose) og klip et hjørne af. Sprøjt marengsen ud på marcipanen som en spiral, der bliver tyndere. Sæt 2 sølvkugler på som øjne. Bag spøgelserne ved 120 C i ca. 45 min. Lad dem køle af 5 min. indende flyttes. Tip: Op til 1 uges holdbarhed i kagedåse kilde: www.odense-marcipan.dk
