Here is our favourite fish dish (kind of:)

(Food)pancakes in the oven-around 15 min

Meanwhile you have covered the pan(just a little olive oil-app 1 spoonfull)with tiny chopped carottes(2-3,medium size) 7-8 min later:add chopped leek(s) 1-1½ medium size).5 min before they are done add shrimps(it is ok they are from the fridge)around 250-300 gr.and finally suply with chopped,not too crunchy,nor too fine,almonds together with cayenne(not too hot;) and some spice called "Garlic Peber" which is a mixture and the brand is called "Santa Maria".You add the ingredient to the pan on heat below par in these 15 min it takes the pancakes in the oven(remember to wrap them in silver paper(is it called tin foil!?). p.s.: the leeks are cut in slices about 2-3 mm,measured from above.

Serve this deliciuos mixture rolled in the pancakes ,et voila!

This is my own invention which doesnt make the eating experience less delightfull !

Danish kitchen is traditionally a little heavier than french and italian.

But also we are strongly influenced by other cultures these years.

Thanks for your response so now we are not lost ! I´ll respond in a short time,at least just to see if it works out !? And interesting to see if the recipe works too!? At least it is our favourite,but you also know that wife and I eat everytning thah comes from the ocean …..I´ send her your hugs,and last time I mentioned it she send some in return.

Yeah Carlsen is a little devil on the 64 squares,who can grind out wine,whiskey or water from a stone.Actualle his game vs Karjakin reminded me of the same kind of exchangesac that Karjakin made vs Caruana at the Candidates !?

All is well here and I do my best to celebrate the everyday life.

Take care and see you down or up the road !

Thanks <morf> ! I also made an IM norm,but at that time I found interest in something of greater value to me.And I also found the chess communite to be too nerdy and the like. But please let me know if I can be of any inspiration on your chess jorney.

As I am also impressed by your rating,especially in light of your age.

Only a few people make real progress after a certain age.

My "chess journey" has been broken up over time. I only seriously bought books in an effort to improve when I first became addicted to chess when I was 23 years old (36 years ago), so I'm a late starter. I only drifted back to chess about 9 years ago (when I was 50) and with the help of <Patriot> began organized, disciplined "training" on a daily basis. My rating moved up 200+ points but plateaued a couple of years ago below 2000. I decided I just didn't want to train all the time, so I have fun playing Chess960 over at Chesscube.com. I love 960!

I will let you know how the pancakes turn out, I'm sure they will be excellent this weekend!

And hi to you <Count Wedgemore> !

I am really pleased you also liked the waterboys.They also went under my radar untill one day with a good friend on a irish pub.Et voila !It was at first listening kind of a friend for life.

It has beeen a good day today.Started with a headache but happened to cure it by myself,sleeping it away in pure baby style !Think you know what I mean..And at brunchtime around 10.30 I saw the conclusion on the Carlsen Nakamuragame in a kind of liveexperince,not knowing the result beforehand.Had money on Aronian and Carlsen combined so it was a real cliffhanger ;)

And thank you very much for your mail,which was well recieved and kind of "funny" to communicate this way after all the months in CG style.Thanks for your greetings and also from Hannah back to you. I hope your weather will behave in a more trditionally and pleasant way.. Here it is more normal and I would describe it as a mixture of late summer and early autum.Something which suits me fine,but you know ;)

And about St Louis ? Did you follow it and have any comments !? I am still amazed how good the commentators are : Jenny,Maurice and Yasser.Great company and a most natural way to still learn more about chess. And the closer we get to November,the more even the two contestants seem to be matched.It may be an epic battle we have ahead.

That was it,and I send you all my best wishes and for good health as well.

I had to use the frozen breakfast kind (didn't want to make scratch pancakes today - too busy with job interview). I just thawed them out, them "mashed'm" with a large metal spoon, this forced the air pockets out. Then, they became more malleable

I had sautee'd shrimp with carrots and sweet onions in butter and spread the mixture over each pancake. Since I had mashed them flat, these were now easy to roll over and seal with no problem

Haven't got the chance to try that pancake recipe, but looking forward to. Wife's, again, at Onesti, alone and I preferred just to watch Flushing Meadows at home - regardless of Halep being eliminated in the first round. Some chess here and there and it all made up for a smooth ending of summer. Speaking of which, august was whole month without any rain, following a July with rain pouring each day (and night). Wonder what September has in its bag for us...

Yup, Saint Louis was pretty cool, as usual. I remember back in august 1994, when I flewn from an over torid&humid Washington DC, en route to Champaign, Illinois, we had to change planes in Saint Louis (we took a very small one) but only got to see that big arch from far away. And I got the first hint of how vast the US is, and how this influences the weather, when we landed in Champaign and got out of the plain, I was struck by a very dry and cold air (at least in comparison with 99 F and 98% humidity back in Washington DC) - the next morning it was 6 degrees Celsius in the morningthere, wow! Maybe only such huge variations in temperature and humidity, coupled with a vast (rather flat) teritory, offer conditions for extreme phenomenons to occur - like tornadoes.

For now life is great here, health...can't complain, and I'm about to start preparing some baggage for the Budapest campaign, to take off in a few days.

St Louis finished on a high note.3 joint winners is not bad :)And now we only have 10 weeks till the start of the big match and I can hardly wait...Quite even they look beforehand-at least on paper-and I have money on a tie,were 5:1 is a good bargain IMO.

Seems like good memories you have from St Louis !?...And let os not forget the champions showdown,fischer random from 11 to the 14th with the old master himself! (There is b.t.w a very funny clip on you tube were Kasparov plays his first bughouse:)A must see...

No,unfortunately you can not go baby style with your headache.But I wish I could send you some magic stuff.Is your headache related to your MS ?

Curious to see if/when the new staff innfluences CG.As for now it is a bit ghost town like IMO.

Here things are ok and I enjoy the daily routines those days were the old body cooperates.Had some nice times with my friends last week and the comming of the autum is also apreciated.Weather is fine for now and we have it the classic way: a mixture of clouds,sun,wind and rain.Fortunately light years away from this extremely dry and sunny summer. Hopefully the weather in September at your place also will stay away from the extremes.

And you have some plans for Budapest,nést pas !?

I was watching a bit Flushing meadows and of course will look out for the Fischerandom contest.

I don't think my headaches are related to SM, althogh both the dentist and the ORL doctors said that I should check with the neurologist. But I don't want to go to her, because I know what she'd say, she would tell me to enroll in the program with interferon treatment- which I have no intention to, at least not for now.

You guys are really good at travelling! And it is a delight to read your reports.

Flushing meadows was great,and when they play their best,nothing beats a tight five setter in tennis IMO.

Greetings from Hannah as well,who is busy but like her job very much.Good colleaques and good food :)And btw what is Marias profession,if I may ask !? Sorry if I has asked before…

I am fighting a tooth,which may be iflamiated,and hence the dentist must take it out if it continues):Otherwise I am enjoyeing life,inside my bounderaies,amd looking forward to see the countdown in St Louis tonight.Remember !

Weather is still pendling between autum and late summer and still a strikiking difference in nature,compared to the very long and sunny sommer which now is definately over.

Soon I´ll make our homemade rösti recipe and let me know if you mak those pancakes ;)

That was it for now and again I send you both my best wishes and looking forward to hear from you again.

And what do you think of Parham (new world junior champion)? Could he prove to be the future contender for the Crown? Time will tell, who knows how soon. Anyway, there seem to be a storm of astonishing talents in the past years - such good news.

Sorry for being late,but have been laying low due to an irritated tooth.

Autum is here and it is nice,also with sunshine in between.Time is flying but also in its own interesting way.Tomorrow another olypiad is starting and it gonna be funn to se all the teams competing.

And you asked about Parham,and I definately think he has solid top10 poetential.working 10-20 hours aday on chess!?Holy cow-could be an overdose in the long run,but...it gonna be interesting to follow him and invitations are to come.But Keymer is my best bet for the future if I had to pick one.There is someting about this young man...

So Maria is working on internatioanl projects!? Sounds very interesting and good for the social health I suppose..

Madam and yours truly are off to get some pizzas at the local,but I want to wish you both the very best for the weekend!
