Sundays are for Hygge

In honor of Sunday, let's talk about hygge...

I visited an old friend in Copenhagen this winter and she 
taught me about the Danish concept of "hygge". There is no
direct translation to English, but it roughly means "coziness".

The Telegraph describes it as “the absence of anything annoying 

or emotionally overwhelming; taking pleasure from the presence 

of gentle, soothing things...Candlelight is hygge. Bakeries are

hygge. Dinner with friends is hygge". My friend, Fanny,

said it can be used as a verb as in "Let's hygge tonight!" 

and that doctors even "prescribe" tea and hygge.

I've been practicing hygge since long before I knew there was 

a word for it. The first thing I do when I get home from work 

(after this, of course, because I'm a human woman) is turn off all

the overhead lights, light 10 million candles, turn on my speakers

to Spotify acoustic, and pour myself some tea or wine (okay, it's

always wine). In fact, if you didn't know me and you came to my

apartment you would definitely think I was trying

to put the moves on you. But I'm not. I'm hygge-ing!

How to hygge:

...and here is a sage smudging ritual to cleanse your space 
(and your aura - consider this me coming out of the closet as
 a reiki-loving weirdo).

My Friday looks less a Mary Katrantzou clad glam squad, and 

more like statistical software, wine, my MacBook and pajamas.

• Filling: 1 cup diced rhubarb, 1 cup blueberries, 2 tablespoons,
• honey, ½ teaspoon cinnamon | Crepes: ¼ cup whole wheat pastry
• flour, ⅛ teaspoon salt, 1 egg, ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons milk, 
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted | Topping: honey, butter, greek
• yogurt, whipping cream, ice cream

"Preheat oven to 400˚. In a bowl, toss together blueberries,

rhubarb, honey, and cinnamon. Place on parchment and roast until

soft, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and lightly mash. Whisk

together flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

Heat 8″ skillet and lightly grease with butter. Place a scant ¼

cup of batter in pan. Tilt the pan so that the batter covers the

entire pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Flip and cook for

another 15 seconds. Place done crepes on a piece of parchment

paper (be sure not to fully stack crepes.) To serve, smear

roasted fruit mixture in crepes and serve with favorite toppings

(these had honey and butter on top!)"

Happy Saturday

Have a relaxing day.
