Copenhagen Pastry or Viennese bread?

Danish pastry is a speciality from Denmark and is very traditional in the scanivavian countries. Also well known in the industrialized world.

But the curious fact is that in Denmark, the Danish pastry is called Viennese Bread as well as in Iceland, Sweden and Norway. But in the Vienna cuisine, the Danish pastry is known as Copenhagen Pastry or "Kopenhagener Gebäck" in German.

Now go figure!

A good book have to be recommended :)

I just read this book and need to share with you.

Bastard Out Of Carolina

This book
Bastard Out Of Carolina is worth every painful moment it takes to get through it. The book's title says a lot: it's the story of the childhood of a "white trash bastard" and her battles against physical and sexual abuse. I wonder: was this the first book that inaugurated the era of so many memoirs about childhood abuse that Oprah eventually elevated to mythic levels?
Bastard out of Carolina is a scarey story with memorable characters who will haunt readers nearly as thoroughly as they haunted Bone, the child protagonist: the violent ones, the jealous ones, the just plain weird ones, the inexplicable ones...
This is not a book with a happy ending. One gets the sense that the end of the story hasn't been written - possibly because the author hasn't lived it yet.

Outstanding. Worth 6 stars.
