Den lysere side af Nytårsforsætter

Her er svarene på en række spørgsmål, som måske kan hjælpe dig med

dine nytårsforsætter!

1 : Jeg har hørt at motion forlænger livet. Er det rigtigt?Svar: Dit hjerte er programmeret til at slå et vist antal slag i løbet af livet. Spild dem ikke ved at dyrke motion. Alt bliver slidt efter hver omgang motion og det gælder også dit hjerte, så at få det til at slå hurtigere hjælper selvfølgelig ikke. Vil du leve længere? Tag dig en lur.

2 : Bør jeg skære ned på at spise kød og spise mere frugt og grønt?Svar: Her skal man forstå logisk effektivitet. Hvad spiser en ko? Hø. Og hvad er hø? Grøntfoder. Så en bøf er egentlig ikke andet end en effektiv måde at spise grøntsager på. Spis kylling og indtag majs og korn. En svinekotelet kan give dig 100 procent af det anbefalede indtag af grøntsager.

3: Bør jeg skære ned på forbruget af alkohol?Svar: Nej, slet ikke. Vin er lavet af frugt. Brændevin er destilleret vin. Det betyder, at man tager vandet ud af frugten, så du får mere af det gode sunde indhold. Øl laves af korn.

4: Kan maveøvelser forhindre, at jeg bliver lidt blød og rund på midten?Svar: Overhovedet ikke. Når du træner en muskel, bliver den større. Derfor bør du ikke lave maveøvelser, medmindre du vil have en stor mave.

5: Er chokolade usundt?Svar: Er du tosset? Kakaobønner er jo grøntsager, ikke sandt?

6: Er svømning godt for figuren?Svar: Tjah, se på hvalerne.

7 : Er det vigtigt at være i god form?Svar: Rund er lige så god en form som enhver anden.

Husk dette: Livet skal ikke være en rejse, hvor målet er at komme trygt frem til graven med en attraktiv og kernesund krop. Nej, så er det bedre at sejle ned i kisten med et glas rødvin i den ene hånd, en god cigar i den anden og med en krop der er godt brugt, mens du råber: 'For fanden, jeg har haft det sjovt!'

Fastelavn PartySaturday 14 February 2009 2 – 5 pm

Get the kids dressed up and ready for action. If you have no ideas at all, check out the suggestions →(ask your local Dane for a translation!)

There’ll be a prize for best-dressed boy and girl, let’s start up the sewing machines now and get into the face-painting straightaway!

‘KUPALEJA’ will entertain with their unique musical style leading up to the big event: bashing the barrel to get that dastardly cat off and get to the goodies inside.

There’ll be delicious fastelavnsboller available from Britt’s on the Gold Coast to go with your afternoon coffee.

Let Lone Lambourne know by 9 February 2009 that you and the kids are coming by emailing her on raylone@bigpond.net.au or give her a ring on 3822 4476 with details.

No charge, see you there!

Get to know the members: This month’s member profile: LONE LAMBOURNE

When did you arrive in Australia?I arrived in Australia early 1987.Did you speak English when you arrived?Yes I spoke English when I arrived here, but I will have to admit, the slang gave me a bit of trouble.Where do you come from in Denmark?I was born in Aarhus and grew up on Djursland (Termestrup Hede). I moved to Copenhagen in 1983 and discovered the world.Why did you migrate to Australia?I had got the taste for skiing (Snowskiing that is). And a couple of friends and I had this brilliant idea to go to New Zealand and work at a ski resort (Northern Hemisphere ski season had just finished). I never made it to New Zealand, but meet a couple of Australians in Copenhagen and they offered me a job. I decided to come out for one year, and here I am nearly 22 years later.What do you miss from Denmark?I miss my family and friends of course, and the long summer nights – they can keep the short winter days.Do you still have many Danish traditions in your home?We celebrate a Danish Christmas on the 24th of December that is about it. That is why I got involved with The Danish Club, to give our children more exposure to Danes and Danish Culture.Do you see yourself as Danish or Australian?I still see myself as Danish but I have properly becoming Australianized over the years.What do you like most about Australia?I love the lifestyle we have here and the great people and their humor. When I get off the plan and see the blue sky at Brisbane Airport I really appreciate what we have out here.What don’t you like about Australia?Snakes – Snakes and Snakes.What’s your favourite Internet site?That would have to be Google – you want to know something, just Google it and the answer is there.Favourite author?I don’t get to read much these days – young children have put a stop to that, hopefully it will come back. It used to be Robert Ludlum.Favourite spot in Australia?We love camping and boating, we often go to Peel Island (Horseshoe bay) and Lake Cootharaba.First Job?My first job was at Mørke Cafeteria, where I worked weekends and holiday. It was the local waterhole, probably not the best place for a 15 year old girl, but they all looked after me.Secret talent?Not a talent yet, but I am getting better at reversing the caravan – still no good at directing Ray.

Paella and the Danes – a historical overviewBy Kim Tvede

Why does the Danish club have a Paella event? Well, following are some satirical considerations … Danes have been having Paella meals since the 800s. Viking excursions to the Iberian peninsula were successful on so many occasions, a sea trip followed by seaside visits allowed Vikings to develop a taste for the local cuisine. The cost varied, depending on how difficult it was to get into the establish-ments.

Paella made a welcome change to pickled pork, and a longship could prepare a meal for a whole crew of 65 with a captured metal shield serving as a frypan for one large dish. Most of the ingredients travelled well or were available from the sea. Paella was also traditionally washed down with a great quaffing wine-based sangria. Vikings were already great quaffers and thoroughly enjoyed the fruit-based drink as a break from their honey-based drinks of mead and honey-beer (which you can now get in Western Australia as a boutique drink – not sure about good paella). Traditionally, Danes have enjoyed seafood prepared in many ways as part of their diet. Traditionally, Paella also uses seafood, with the added benefit that if one is too far inland or were travelling light, freshwater mussels could also suffice, enabling fresh protein over pickled food.

Today, Danes are leaders in renewable energy. Paella is a great ‘pick-me-up’ energy food made extensively on tasty and renewable food sources using North Sea gas cookers. It can be enjoyed after a heavy day out, before a heavy day out, when relaxing with company, or when on vacation for a change. Thus its serving approach matches that of snaps – to be enjoyed anytime. Preparation of paella is fairly simple, though it requires skill to keep moist and light, not heavy and gluggy, and for a crowd, preferably requires a large shield-like frypan so the saffroned rice can simmer and be stirred without sticking too much. Most Danes don’t have shield souvenirs from their summer excursions decorating their walls anymore, so parties with Paella are an exotic affair. Danes have long ago discovered that one of the joys of visiting the Iberian peninsula today is to continue to enjoy the delights of sunshine, continuous parties, low costs, and paella to keep it all together. In Danish schools today one is far more likely to find Danes learning Spanish over French. Ordering Paella in Spanish is far simpler than in French. If you are on a Danish beach during summer holidays, be prepared to speak German; most of the Danes have gone to the Mediterranean … and are eating Paella on the Iberian peninsula. A long Danish tradition since the 800s.

Paella Party 14 February 2009 5.30 for 6 pm start (dinner is served at 7 pm)

Come early and see the paella chef warm up the big paella pan to prepare our food. Have a glass of cool Sangria or maybe one of our freshly imported Danish beers from the bar – they go well with paella!

INVIOLATA

Den danske bratsch accordeon-duo, Inviolata, drager på turne til Australien i 2010:

Inviolata udgøres af Asbjørn Nørgaard, bratschist i det meget velrenommerede ensemble "Den Danske Strygekvartet", og accordeonisten Andreas Borregaard, studerende i solistklassen ved Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium i København samt ved the Guildhall School of Music and Drama i London.

Klanglig smeltedigel

Inviolata blev dannet i 2007, og duoen har allerede markeret sig som en af de mest spændende aktører på den klassiske musikscene i Danmark. Bratsch og accordeon er to instrumenter, der sjældent kombineres; kun få duoer eksisterer i verden, og i Danmark er Inviolata den eneste. Imidlertid klinger de to instrumenter overraskende godt sammen: Bratschens varme strygerklang har en evne til fuldkomment at smelte ind i accordeonets orgellignende lydverden, og samtidigt hermed har instrumenterne mulighed for at udfordre hinanden i markante kontraster. Det særlige klangfællesskab åbner for et alsidigt og utraditionelt repertoire med såvel transskriptioner af velkendte værker som dramatiske moderne kompositioner. Konstellationen skaber således nye og spændende udtryksmuligheder for de to instrumenter.

Kulturudveksling i koncertform

Inviolata planlægger en turne til Australien, men ambitionerne er større end blot at spille en række koncerter i et fremmed land. Ved at sammenstille musik af moderne danske og australske komponister i een koncert vil vi undersøge, om koblingen af elementer fra to geografisk så adskilte musikmiljøer kan bibringe samme klanglige slægtskaber og medrivende lydbilleder, som kombinationen af de to væsensforskellige instrumenter, bratsch og accordeon, har vist sig at gøre.

Til koncertprogrammet har vi allerede modtaget et værk fra den anerkendte danske komponist Niels Rosing-Schow. Endvidere er vi i færd med at bestille en komposition fra Australien, og vi arbejder på at transskribere et værk af den kendte australske komponist Elena Kats-Chernin. Foruden denne nye musik skal koncerterne også præsentere ældre og mere traditionel klassisk musik, fx af Bach, Britten, de Falla og Piazzolla; dette for at sikre programmets diversitet og koncerternes appel til et bredt publikum.

Endeligt er det vores håb at bestille eet større værk, som på turneens sidste koncert skal opføres i samarbejde med australske musikere. Disse musikere skal siden hen, i fald det er muligt, inviteres til Danmark, hvor en ny række koncerter med dansk-australsk musik kan afvikles.

De rette rammer

I øjeblikket er vi i kontakt med forskellige festivalarrangører, bl.a. violinisten Christopher Latham fra "Australian Festival of Chamber Music", og vi har ligeledes kontaktet danske kirker og andre nordisk-australske interesseorganisationer, hvor vores koncertkoncept kunne passe godt ind. Dels med tanke på projektets iboende kulturudveksling mellem Australien og Danmark, dels fordi koncerten i sig selv, med sin afvekslende musik spillet af en ny og besnærende duosammensætning, vil være et spændende og særdeles publikumsvenligt arrangement.

Bedste hilsner

HAPPY NEW YEARFrom Søren

During the first six months of our 2008/09 club year we had some great events varying

from the traditional ‘Det Store Kolde Bord’ to the annual Moose Hunt together with the

Swedish Club. Not to mention the hundreds of æbleskiver baked for the Roma Street

Multicultural Festival. We introduced a new tradition with our Julestue where young and

old had lots of fun baking Christmas cookies (and tasting a few), making Christmas

decorations and dancing and singing with KUPALEJA. I thought the Christmas Tree

looked particularly happy this year.

The program for 2009 is already looking great; our first event is a mixture of our

traditional Fastelavn party coupled with a new event later on the same day, a paella

fiesta complete with flamenco dancing.

Our new member service has been busy lately with many new members joining up to be

part of the club activities, and we encourage all new and old members to get actively

involved with the selection, development and management of functions. All ideas and

input is welcome and if you feel like participating in a specific event, please contact

myself or another committee member.

We also thank the many volunteers who lent a hand during our functions with tidying up

or just helping out – any help is most welcome, so please keep it coming.

We have been grateful for the great support by members for the functions. It’s very

encouraging for the committee members and all the helpers to see full support for the

functions put on for the club members and this is also how we can all help generate the

funds required to keep the club going and in good shape for the future.

The focus has also been on attracting more tenants to use the facilities and we have

enjoyed increased interest and demand for the club, which is also contributing towards

our running costs. Our Swiss Club members have been very active in assisting with

more tenants and attracting more functions to the club, which is excellent and if you

hear of any activities seeking a venue, please let the committee know about it.
