Princess Marie's Charities and Patronages

[Muhler]

Thanks Iceflower & Polyesco.

The Wadden Sea is a protected area, very rich in birdlife and for being the home of many mollusks, oysters and what not. It stretches from Southern Jutland, down along the German coast and across the Netherlands.
It's also a favorite tourists attraction - but the tide claim some every year! People think the sea is far away, but all of a sudden the water has caught up with you - and it's still a long way to dry ground...

The elderly gentleman seen close to our Marie is the Minister for Culture, Bertel Haarder, also less reverently known as Bertel Bims = Bertel Nutter.

Thank you, Iceflower.

The justifications for having such drills seems to have been confirmed today in Britan.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #15, 2017.
Written by Marianne Singer.

Marie is a frequent visitor to Odense University Hospital and on this day she inaugurated the surgical ward for children.
Here she was met by a shy flowergirl in the shape of 7 year old Melina, who is a very frequent patient at the hospital. Melina is a short-intestine-child, and since her birth she has been through six surgeries in order to make the intestines work. On top of that she has diabetes 1, and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. - No wonder she has so serious and old eyes...
Her mother said: "It's been hard. The one who has coped best is probably Melina. She's tough. We'll make it and we do that by being good at talking to each other. And then we have a fantastic family".

Marie took Melina's hand and somewhat unexpectedly took the girl with during the visit. Melina soon relaxed and felt comfortable sitting on Marie's lap. Or helping our Marie loosening the ribbon at the inauguration.

The hospital is named after H C Andersen (It's basically only outside DK he's known as Hans Christian Andersen) and well inside, Marie, Melina and other patients saw a show consisting of figures from H C Andersen's fairy tales.
After the merriment was over, Marie was shown around at the ward and informed of what they can do.
Marie said afterwards: "It's a festive day with serious subjects. It's of course very important for the children, because nursing and care are a big part of their treatment".

Always nice to see her in uniform and at these type of events .

[Muhler]

Thanks, Iceflower.

Our Marie was in her usual merry mood I see. I also notice that she was accompanied by an adjutant for once.
While that has become normal with Mary, it's much more unusual with Marie. Of course this is very much a uniformed branch event, so here it's only natural.

Princess Marie is a guest editor on Instagram today for Samvirke healthy eating magazine, with the help of her children!!

'Today I have taken over Samvirke's Instagram to tell you about my work against food waste. At home, we are very aware that nothing will be wasted. Therefore, my children's food packages today are made from leftovers from the evening meal - and consisted of fish fillets and vegetables. Later today food waste is also on the program when I, as a patron, participate in the Food Summit Food Summit - Better Food for More People. You can follow the day here at Instagram.

A very good thing.

Enormous amounts of food is wasted each year!

Now the supermarkets here in DK, have to a large extent begun to donate some of the food that is reaching expiry date to charity-discount stores.
Most of it they sell themselves though at reduced prices - and there are some very good bargains to be made if you don't have that much money (students, retirees, on welfare and so on).

But back to our Marie. The parents to my generation had been brought up with not letting food go to waste, so leftovers was a normal dish for us. Often made into "biksemad", a dish I've talked about a few times here on TRF, which is very cheap and easy to make. Ideal for the poor students away from home.
But in recent decade it has become an unfortunate habit to shop lare amounts of food stuff, only to end up not being able to eat all of it, which ends up in the trash.
So there is now an ongoing campaign to reduce that waste. And it's a popular campaign because reduce the waste of perfectly good food appeals to most. - And saving serious money on the food-bill appeals to all!

Biksemad: There are countless recipes, depending on what leftovers you use and it's so ridiculously easy, fast and cheap to make that even teenagers who have never held a frying pan in their lives can do it.

And fried eggs is a must! 2-3 per serving - if you are a teenage son...
This is not a dish to eat if you are on a diet, this is to make you fell happy and full, so butter is mandatory!

I believe some of you have tried that recipe before.
