Jessica lives with her dear son in the countryside at a little place called Haverslev. The family life has not always been easy to deal with, given her husband's gambling issues. What's more, it seems that John is keeping other secrets from her.

Danish Meatballs - The Yard: Crime Blog Jessica thinks her husband is cheating. Jessica has no real clue.

I'm thrilled to see this story out in the world!


"Danish Meatballs" pays homage to where I grew up in Denmark. The picture used was even taken last year at the forest close to where the story takes place.


So what is the story about?

I fell upon these 2 comic books not so long ago & they were both worth the investment. As you'll see, the artwork is amazing & the storyline is intriguing. Being both a mix of horror & crime, it is worth the read. Unfortunately, it currently only exists in French.

I'm quite happy with how this painting turned out in the end. Most of the time, I had no idea what I was doing, but it somehow worked out in the end. I used the two following pictures as templates.

I stumbled upon "Corso" at the last visit at my favorite bookstore. As you'll see, it's a black & white comic. Corso, crashes his spaceship in a hostile foreign land where he meets peculiar creatures. Want to know more? Then I suggest you give it a read.

Even if "The Bilingual Edge" was published in 2007, it's not outdated for what concerns the main ideas of why, when & how to teach a child a 2nd language. Written by linguists who integrate research to support their argumentation, I highly recommend this book.

"Vinterland" (2019) is the 1st book in the independent series with detectives Juncker & Kristiansen who deal with a terror attack in Copenhagen. It's the 1st time that I read anything by the Danish duo & I'm impressed with how they switch between perspectives. Well worth the read!

And here it is, the final gigantic collection of the Chew series. I don't know how these authors managed to find all the crazy ideas that they did, but I truly loved this comic book series for all the weird and dark characters and happenings.

I can only recommend it!

The Stanford Prison Experiment: Unlocking The Truth | Official Trailer | National Geographic
A groundbreaking look at one of historyโ€™s most notorious psychology studies through the firsthand accounts of the original prisoners and guards, many of whom are speaking on camera for the very first time. Their stories unravel a narrative that interrogates the motives of the man in charge, Dr. Phil The Stanford Prison Experiment: Unlocking The Truth | Official Trailer | National Geographic

"The Standford Prison Experiment: Unlocking the Truth" is a short 3-episode documentary which sheds some light on the (in)famous experiment conducted back in 1971. Most importantly, it questions the methodology of the study which I found enlightening.

"The Marco Effect" is the fifth book in the Department Q series by Danish author, Jussi Adler-Olsen. I absolutely love this series and the fifth book was another delight to read. There's also a film adaptation of the book but I have to say that I prefered the book this time.

"Heretic" points out some interesting questions concerning religion and religion through history in a horror format. This is not to say that it should be taken as a history lesson, but the movie points out some provocative aspects and is well worth the time.

An enchanted forest in a bowl

We had this bowl lying around and I thought to myself: Why not make a lamp out of this?

So I got some material and it's almost done. All I'm missing is a LED to stick to the inside of the lid. Stay tuned for the final result.

"Companion" is quite interesting. I don't want to spoil too much and luckily the trailer doesn't give too much away, but this take on a robot companion is both up to date and pretty refreshing. Definitely worth the watch if you ask me.
