Hi guys and happy Wednesday. I recorded this one last week, and it was a chill, fun & productive Friday. I came across a very interesting bread recipe that I had to try out. It is a protein-rich, gluten free & grain-free bread that was very easy to make. I didn't have high hopes for the taste but it actually was super yummy. I really enjoy when you send me pictures when you try out the recipes that I make in my videos so please send me pics if you try this one out! One of my best friends here in Copenhagen is moving back to Iceland and that got me to thinking about my friendships here in Copenhagen and I would love to hear if you guys have experienced something similar and how you reacted to it. I hope you will enjoy this slow and chatty video and I will see you next week my loves. big hugs xx

Brita, having been living abroad for many years now as well I totally understand where you’re coming from about making friends/efforts to expand your social circle. I think once you really feel the need to do so, you’ll find your people in no time when you’re brave and lovable enough to build a global community here on KZbin ! Have a great rest of the week and thanks for sharing your daily life as well as the thoughts that cross your mind!

[@birtahlin]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment🥹 It’s always encouraging to hear from someone who understands the challenges of living abroad and making new connections. Wishing you a fantastic week as well, and thank you for your support💕✨

[@Bdpst77]

Your positivity, I mean your energy reflects your home as well and I love it🪐💙

[@birtahlin]

aww that is so sweet!❤️

[@poppycalliope]

Mathilda has to be one of the most beautiful animals I have ever seen ❤ I appreciate the friendships chat. It is a bit hard to make new friendships as an adult especially if you're an introvert like me. I have a pretty small friend circle but I don't mind. It's definitely quality over quantity 💌 congratulations on the Canon collaboration 👏✨️

[@birtahlin]

thank you dear!💗 that is so true that quality over quantity is way better when it comes to friendships✨ biggest hugs to you sweetie xx

[@tuftofflowers]

Almost 150k! Proud of you❤️. As always, thank you so much for making Wednesday better. Have a good week

[@birtahlin]

omg yes it’s sooo crazy!🥹💗 i just can’t believe all of the love and support i have received on my videos, i am so so grateful❤️ biggest hugs to you sweetie xx

[@saagarosti]

hi hi, leftover yolks are great for pasta sauce! if you cook some pasta (maybe gluten free if you want), keep a few cups of the cooking water, in a separate pan fry some garlic or bacon or veg or whatever you want, turn off the heat and then add the pasta, pasta water and egg yolks + some parmesan and whatever seasonings, it turns out super nice and creamy. also homemade hollandaise sauce!

[@moi_ra]

Thank your for sharing your experience of friendship. Living different country and speaking different language make you like difficult to make close friends… if someone move away from near you, there will be a new chance or time to spend someone else. Also as other comments said, your brave and lovable that you build in your community will definitely make closer friends in reality too! And this is totally off the topic but i just wanted to tell you that i went to Copenhagen for honeymoon last week! I had been really wanted to visit there since I started watching your KZbin channel and finally dream came true! It was a beautiful, cozy and peaceful city as your video. I really like food( especially breads and coffee so good), people and atmosphere…! Your videos inspired me sooo much and has become a great help for trip! Thank you so much for inspiration💕 it became a definitely one of my favourite countries I’d like to visit again! hopefully soon. ❤️ from Japan

[@taylorvic_]

omg your English is amazing!! my sister just came back from Japan and she told me that nobody speaks English 😢😢

[@moi_ra]

Thank you! leaning English little by little. I see…sad to know but that’s the reality. I feel like the number of people who trying to speak English is increasing in Japan. I went to Scandinavian countries and I was really surprised at how well everyone spoke English. I want Japan to be like that too.

[@taylorvic_]

@@moi_ra yes that's because they teach English to Scandinavian people from a very early age and a lot because as you know Scandinavian countries are very international as well as Japan!! i also want that Japan speaks better English because your country is soooo touristy and it should be English friendly!!! 😭😭❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 (and i wanna go and be understood cause I don't speak Japanese) anyways love from Spain!!

[@ReturnOfJackDawson]

I love that you share your collaborations and the bts, I find that so different from the other content creators! I also really appreciate the work you guys with Helgei put to post every Wednesday! Keep up the good work and wish you a lot of success! xx

[@monicute6786]

Loved the vlog 🥰 that part with the pillows was funny, I knew immediately that the pillow was wrong way. It’s funny how sometimes our brains can work 😅

[@birtahlin]

hahah!🥰

[@KatAlimpieva]

Hey there Birta, can't really speak for others but as for a remote worker in the CET zone - the timing of the diaries release is spot-on for a lunch break 💜 Thanks!

[@birtahlin]

hahah omg love it!!💗✨

[@kaitomdal]

Wednesdays are my favourite when I get to watch a new upload from you two! I totally understand how you feel about moving away and not really having close friends. I think as we get older this a natural occurrence especially if you have a significant other by your side :)

[@monikadabrowska270]

Thanks for your honesty and vulnerability in your friendships chat 💛 I moved to Copenhagen few months ago and even though the city offers so many opportunities to meet new people, it can take a lot of effort to invest in those relationships, create deeper bonds and find those people with whom you can be 100% yourself. I'm sure we'll both get there! You are such a lovely person with the best energy , so I wouldn't worry 🥰 On another note, I need to try baking this bread, it sounds so good & nourishing! Just need to find bottled egg whites in the city 🙃

[@elizaflores3146]

Loved this video. Birta you are so sweet, transparent and lovely. The bread looks so good 😋 need the recipe 🤩🤩🤩

[@idasophjie]

whenever i feel down, your videos are so comforting to watch! you radiate such a positive energy 🩷

[@ozelcirmak]

100% relate to your friendship/relationship chat. I feel you now and this was honestly so relatable thanks for sharing ❤

[@birtahlin]

aww🥹💜

[@vvsym]

Love hearing your reflections about living in CHP as an icelandic and friendship while in a long-term relationship. Sending you a hug Birta!!!

[@ellyvvaller]

Londoner in Stockholm here and I can say that birds of a feather DO flock together . It’s amazing to meet and have friends from everywhere when you move abroad but it’s not easy. Having a friend locally who speaks the same language and comes from the same culture definitely makes the experience sweeter x

[@camilleprovins1934]

Fun fact: amitié means 'friendship' in French so it's so fitting for what you're discussing! As an expat, I totally get what you mean with friends/efforts to make friends but close friends will find you! Excited to go to CPH in July :)

[@dilaraguney]

I had messaged you about some recommendations on Copenhagen last week and thank you for sending me your map! I have arrived today to Copenhagen and the Royal library garden is my favorite place so far 🇩🇰 Thanks!!

[@miamoudilou]

wait birta the vunerability is so beautiful and appreciateddd you don't even know , i can 100% relate it gets a little lonely not having best friends around but rather only friends that you see when you make plans, but i always get so nervous that if i try ti show an interest in leveling up our connection it wont be resipricated or it will be like received as oversharing rather than vunrability but slowly trying to get out of head and be more open with my thoughts and those around me, we will find our girls

[@jaden-mansfield]

thank you for talking about your friendships Birta! I’m in the same boat, my 2 best friends moved and although I have quite a few friends I don’t feel as close or comfortable with them! cheers to making new friends 🥂🩷

[@birtahlin]

thank you for telling about your story and experiences💙 big hugs to you xx

[@tagbon]

I would also have said the two pillowcases were different colours when they were going different ways - must be a trick of the light with their stripes 🤔Lovely vlog Birta, I hope you're able to enjoy the summer sun soon enough ☀😎

[@birtahlin]

omg yes that's true!!✨

[@AnaBettendorff]

Hi Brita! I absolutely adore your videos. I started watching your vlogs last year just by chance...probably because I have had a very nice time when visiting Copenhagen a couple of years ago...anyway I was hooked into your vlogs very quickly because you are so natural and dinamic.. Love all what you do and also like watching you and your fiance enjoying life together cooking, travelling experimenting the joy of life. Thank you very much for radiating so much energy and optimism....Love you both a big hug from Knysna , South Africa ❤

[@m.kkaaiirrii3147]

I’m learning English through your video!! I’m a Japanese, but your English is easy to understand. Thanks about it to you☺️

[@bellatrix7066]

Birta I can relate so much to your friendship situation. I had the same issue during my 4-year relationship during high school and early university and now too with my new boyfriend. Since I'm in a long-distance relationship now, I guess that makes it a bit more easier to make time for friends. But I still struggle with establishing close, fulfilling friendships where I can be truly myself.

[@elainekennedy9686]

This was such a heartwarming vlog with recipes, fit checks and your latest collaboration. Your discussion of friendships was so relatable as someone who has also moved around. You have the right attitude and undoubtedly things will fall into place. I already follow you on Instagram and love your posts. ❤️

[@birtahlin]

aww you are just the best, thank you so much for all the love and support🥹🥹♥️

[@sydneybelleshaw]

i love how you shared your experience with friendship and the difficulties when friends move away !! i absolutely relate to this and i understand how strange it feels when friends leave and you don’t know quite what to do ❤️‍🩹 i hope that this summer you are able to find new friendships that you can be yourself with and get close to !! love your vulnerability, birta 🌟

[@birtahlin]

Thank you so much for your kind words angel💞 It's comforting to know that others understand and relate to these challenges. Your encouragement means a lot to me, lots of loveee 🥹

[@akisoooyahh]

[@kaylabruner1045]

Congratulations on 150K to you and Helgi!!! Also, that bread looks so yummy, I need to try! It reminds me of the high protein seed bread I love in Germany

[@birtahlin]

omg thank you so much!!!❤️

[@lucyredmond2522]

I really recommend the book ‘Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come’, by Jessica Pan! It talks about making new friendships as an adult and getting out of your comfort zone opening up to people! I loved it and it definitely inspired me! Love your videos 💜💜💜

[@birtahlin]

okay that one is now on my list of books, thank you so much!!✨

[@heartflower313]

I am watching from Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵!! I love you so much. I study English through your amazing videos. I can learn various cultures and famous spots in many countries ❤. I wanna say thank you for creating wonderful contents every day 🌸🌸🔤🎞️

Love your content! The homemade rye bread looks delicious and so the flipped eggs. Your outfit it's always on point. I Hope the summer weather hits soon 🌞

[@birtahlin]

thank you so much, really appreciate the love and support!!🥹💕

[@LarissaTuong]

Your cat is so so beautiful especially her eyes ❤🐈‍⬛🥹 And speaking about friendship, I'm also a home-body and I find it a little bit hard to connect, trust and let other people into my heart even in my own country, let alone in a foreign country. But I also think that a true and close friendship happen really naturally without trying so hard, so don't worry ❤ I hope you can meet really good friends soon, and feel free to share your thoughts in your videos - we have a really great community here!!! p/s: love your vlogs, the food looks amazing as usual 💞

[@birtahlin]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts on friendship! I totally understand the challenges of connecting, especially as a homebody. I appreciate your support and this community means the world to me💖

[@olista2436]

You can use the egg yolks for buns or yeast cake!! Most recipes only have egg yolks and those are the best

[@kiraz1517]

you are amazing 😻 and i really thought that english is your native language… but you help me to learn this language. i love your videos ❤

[@birtahlin]

thank you so much!✨

[@karolinakrato312]

[@birtahlin]

[@KristinaWalker-v4y]

It was so nice to meet you and Helgi the other day! ☺️

[@dionaea71]

Hello Birta 😊 Leftover egg yolks you can use to make classic cream brulé, lemon curd, carbonara... Have a nice day ❤️

[@birtahlin]

okay omg, I didn't think about that!! these are some great ideas, thank you so much🥰✨

[@lovedvisuals]

You can make a custard with the egg yolks! ☺️

[@oliviatomlinson1721]

what a sweet comfy video! I moved to CPH from Vancouver CA not too long ago and i kinda get what you mean - it can be super hard to make properly close friends - i've been practically starving for close, intimate girlfriends with whom i can talk about those deep topics. i had those friends in Vancouver and i didn't realise how important they were until i didn't have them closeby. also tip for the egg yolks - make some custard! it makes for suuuuper yummy and quick summer desserts with some tart shells and fresh fruits!

[@henningrasmussen8225]

Iceland ia a former danish colony they teach danish in their schools they are very close to DK . They watch danish TV. S o Birtha is far from a foreigner in DK . there are many from Iceland in DK. So she has many friends from Iceland and DK just t be patient and active.

[@victoria-anne]

Birta, just when I thought I couldn't relate to you more! 💖My partner and I live in Scotland but we aren't from here (I'm from California and he's from Portugal). Lately it's been taking a toll on us being away from family and our closest friends for nearly three years, so in a few months we're moving to Portugal. It's a hard decision either way, but trust your gut! 💖 This may even be a perfect time to try Paris like you've mentioned before 😉💖💖 also I loved the campaign and can't wait to see what you shot! 💖💖

[@loveIy_lucyy]

birta you look so stunning! your outfits are so inspiring

[@birtahlin]

aww thank you sweetie!🥹💕

[@nekodestroy]

You can make custard or creme caramel with the egg yolks.

[@birtahlin]

that’s right!🧡

[@adharafidalgo]

Birta, lovely video as always! I am super curious about your kitchen organization, I recently moved with my boyfriend to a apartment and I feel so desorganizaded with plates, pans, kitchen utensils. Do you have any tips that you can show on your next video? Like a kitchen organization tips or tour to inspire us? Thank you very much

[@Belinda-en7yq]

I can completely relate to this friendship stuff. It is so difficult to make the next step - furthermore it’s really hard for me to make new friends. I really appreciate your honest talk about these problems 🤗🫶 Ly

We love bread, and enjoyed your baking skills...we still go to an Italian "Bakery on Arthur Avenue" in the Bronx(New York State)...these bakeries have been on Arthur Avenue for GENERATIONS...you can google them...one day you might be in New York City(Consists of Manhattan, The Bronx, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens) and you can take a subway to Arthur Avenue and do your own taste-testing....You and Helgi(is this the right spelling...my GF and I cannot decide if it is right)...will live a LONG life with your healthy baking! Thx for your ALWAYS interesting Vlogs....

[@littleblueplanet222]

I can totally relate on the friendship front. I recently ended a relationship of seven years and one of my biggest regrets is not investing in my friendships more during the relationship. Friendships usually outlast romantic relationships! And they’re also so joyful and important for your social life 🫶🏼

Could you share the link, I couldn’t find itl? I follow you guys on IG and here. Fun fact while we live in the US, we both have Danish heritage. Thanks! 🫶🏻❤️

I hope protein in bread won’t upset your guts and you’ll find that it’s not gluten that “bothers” your guts. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 protein aka gluten is the best thing in flour and especially products in Europe which are so healthy 🤞🏽🙏🏽

Matilde is the cutest cat. What’s her breed? Did you buy her? In regards to friendships and living abroad, I can definitely relate. I’ve been together with my bf for 2,5y and since I’ve met him I became a bit lazier to make friends and prefer his and my parents company over anybody. But I’m trying to be more social and get to know more people, it’s just very challenging cause I also have adhd and I get bored easily with people and conversations… especially in Europe I feel like everybody already has their group and are a bit closed, both in Belgium and now in Budapest I noticed that. But anyways I love watching you and your bf, I’m doing long distance and can’t wait to live together with my bf.
