So here's the deal: When I went to Charlene's place this past week (Charlene's an online friend of mine who lives in the Netherlands, I live in Denmark) I brought her some early birthday gifts (her birthday's in April). Charlene's really into cooking and when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she said she wanted family recipes. My family doesn't have family recipes, so I just translated the ones we like the most/make more often.

This is going to clutter up your friends pages, I know, I'm sorry, but I am going to make lj cuts.
