Easy Peasy Classic Baked Potato Toppings
Simple but Satisfying Baked Potatoes

1. Cheese - enskt Bjørg
Cheese, glorious cheese! It may be the most basic of baked potato toppings but it sure does taste good, melting into that fluffy potato and mixing with all that lovely, oozing butter!

Your basic cheese topping staple would, of course, be good old cheddar, but experiment with different cheeses or even create a multitude of cheeses! Try Parmesan, Gruyere, Red Leicester, Yarg, Brie... you can go for soft cheese as well as hard cheese, or why not try goat's cheese as another alternative?

2. Baked beans
Another baked potato classic! Delicious, filling and very good for you too. I like mine with grated cheese sprinkled on top, how about you?

3. Ham and Cheese - enskt Nancy
Perk up your cheese topping with some ham! And come on, you can do better than one of those barely-there thin ham slices - treat your potato with respect and pop on a roll of lovely, thick, quality ham! Breaded, honey roast... you choose!

4. Prawns - enskt Anna

One of my personal favourites! No prawn jacket is complete without that beautiful pink sauce, however! Also known as Thousand Island Dressing, you can make your own Marie Rose sauce by mixing one part ketchup to six parts mayonnaise, and adding any other elements that you like personally in the sauce, such as a tablespoon of lemon juice, a dash of Tabasco or Worcestershire sauce, or even a dash of whisky!

5. Sausage and Beans

Grill a sausage or two, slice and mix into your hot baked beans before pouring all over your freshly baked jacket. For extra melt in the mouth gorgeousness, sprinkle with grated cheese.

6. Coleslaw - enskt EDNA

Coleslaw is an easy and delicious potato topping - just scoop it straight from the pack! Alternatively, you can make your own delicious coleslaw using a recipe such as this BBC Healthy Coleslaw, or add a twist with this Lemon Coleslaw Baked Potato Topping!

7. Cheese and Bacon - enskt Fríbjartur

Top your jacket with grilled bacon (plain, smoked or streaky, however you like it!) and sprinkle with LOTS of grated cheese. Pop back into the oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted. Comfort food in a spud!

8. Tuna and Sweetcorn

Top your baked spud with some tuna and lightly cooked frozen sweetcorn. Mix it up with some mayo for extra yumminess! Tuna goes great with a potato - you could also try out this Baked Tuna Stuffed Potato Recipe too!

9. Cream Cheese and Chives

Cream cheese is delicious oozing all over a hot jacket. Sprinkle some chives on top for extra pizazz. And if you like cream cheese, you'll love the next section of creamy baked potato yumminess...

March 21: Read a bit in the Feel Free pamphlet

Feel Free is a Faroese pamphlet welcoming foreigners to the Faroe Islands. It is in many languages, but we are going to read the English text next lesson. 


Read a section or everything in the Feel Free pamphlet. See if you can open the pdf-file or find an actual copy. However, the text is also available below:


Feel Free
Welcome to the Faroes. Hopefully, you will 
feel at home and be able to create a good life 
for yourself in this country. 
As a resident in the Faroes you have 
certain rights and responsibilities, and this 
pamphlet offers you a snapshot of these. 
Feel free to ask if you need more information or support.

Enjoy Our Welfare Services!
The Faroes are a welfare community. our 
schools are free, and education is compulsory 
for at least 9 years, normally beginning at 
the age of 7. school registration takes place 
at your local school.Evening schools around 
the islands teach Faroese for foreigners. 
The first 20 hours are free of charge. For 
more information, please contact your local 
municipality or Kvøldskúlin in tórshavn, 
tel: 302472.

have free access to hospital services, a family 
doctor and prescribed medicine. if you need 
to consult a doctor after working hours, you 
should dial: 1870.
Finding a job in the Faroes is your own 
responsibility. But the website www.starv.fo
offers information about available jobs.

Unemployment Fund, Als, tel: 349550.
All municipalities in the Faroes offer 
some kind of childcare. most municipalities 
have public nurseries, kindergartens and 
private childcare. you can register your child 
for this at your local municipality.
Feel free to use the welfare services.

Share Your Culture, Religion 
and Opinion!
People in the Faroes have individual freedom, 
religious freedom and freedom of 
expression and association.
The Danish constitution, which also 
applies in the Faroes, states that personal 
liberty is inviolable. You cannot be subjected 
to any form of imprisonment for your 
political or religious convictions or your descent.
The lutheran-Evangelical church is the 
official church, but there are various other 
churches in the Faroes. According to the 
constitution, everyone is entitled to associate 
in communities to worship according to 
his or her convictions.
Feel free to practice your religion, feel 
free to voice your opinion and attend any 
cultural and political activities.

Do Not Accept Violence
Everyone has a right to a life without violence, 
and in the Faroes domestic violence is illegal. 
Violence against children or adults 
is illegal. Domestic violence is a pattern of 
many behaviours such as physical violence, 
emotional abuse, isolation, economic abuse, 
intimidation, and coercion and threats. 
These behaviours are often directed at 
achieving and maintaining control over 
another person.
Experiencing domestic violence can 
lead to emotional traumas such as depression, 
panic attacks and substance abuse. 
in addition, children exposed to domestic 
violence are at risk of having developmental 
problems, aggressive behaviour, and low 
self-esteem.
Domestic violence is never acceptable. it 
is illegal. According to the penal code, 
physical violence is punishable by up to three 
years’ imprisonment, and a person who 
threatens violence can be sentenced up to 
two years’ imprisonment.
The Faroese law is in accordance with the 
international Declaration of Human rights, 
which states: no one shall be subjected to 
torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading 
treatment or punishment. 
The Faroes are a community founded on 
the rule of law. The police, hospital staff and 
social services are not corrupt and cannot 
be bribed. And asking for help will not in 
any way threaten your right to stay in the 
Faroes. 
 if you are subject to domestic violence or 
need advice on how to avoid being violent, 
feel free to call the authorities or one of the 
hotlines listed in this pamphlet. 
Feel free to reject domestic violence.

Next lesson is on March 14 & Re: Short letter form Rio De Janeiro

Dear K
(and the rest of the class :)

Thanks for your letter, it is good to hear from you. We miss you. Don't worry nobody has stolen your seat.

Today we read a poem about a someone claiming to be too sick to go to school or work. You can read "Sick" by Shel Silverstein on the Poets.org website. You can also look at a subtitled reading on Vimeo

We did also read a text about a barking dog and we read sentences the pupils had written about dogs.

The class which was supposed to be on March 7 has been cancelled. However, we will have class on March 14 and Anna is our host. Will you be back then?

Our homework is to read two texts. They are online with audio and extra homework. They are both included below.

Have a nice journey.

Best regards,
Your Classmates

Feel free to visit the links. On Rong Chang's website there are audio files and additional exercises.

Here are the texts for next time:

37. Just a Cough

The TV reporter coughed. Then she coughed again. The other TV reporter was worried. "Are you okay?" he asked. She couldn't answer. She continued to cough. She coughed and coughed. The other reporter dialed 911. "What is the emergency?" the 911 person asked. "I think my friend is dying," said the reporter. "What is your address?" asked the 911 person. "We are at 123 West Hill Street," said the reporter. "Someone will be right there," said the 911 person. But then the woman stopped coughing. She said she was fine. She said thanks to the other reporter. He said, "You're welcome." He called 911 again. He said the emergency was over. He said his friend was okay. She would not die. She was going to live. The 911 person was glad to hear that.




The teacher walked into the classroom. He said, "Good evening, everybody." The students said, "Good evening, teacher." He walked over to his desk. He put his briefcase on his desk. He opened his briefcase. He took his notebook out of his briefcase. He took his books out of his briefcase. Suddenly, he felt dizzy. The room was spinning. He sat down. What was wrong with him? He put his hands on the desk. The desk was spinning. He closed his eyes. He opened his eyes. He didn't know what to do. What was wrong? He was sitting in his chair. But he felt like he was floating in air. How could he be floating in air? He sat in his chair for another minute. His students were talking to one another. They did not know how he felt. But he didn't tell them how he felt. He didn't say anything.

36.
A Barking Dog
- from http://www.rong-chang.com/ne/es/es036.htm
- visit the website and hear the text


The lady's dog barked too much. It barked in the morning. It barked in the afternoon. It barked at night. Every time Kevin walked past the front door, the dog barked. Every time Kevin walked past the back door, the dog barked. Every time anybody walked past, the dog barked. He told the landlord. "That lady's dog barks too much," he said. The landlord said he would talk to the lady. But he never did. Kevin wanted to shut the dog up. It was a little dog. But it had a big mouth. The dog's mouth was bigger than the dog. What could Kevin do? One day he yelled at the dog. He yelled, "Shut up, you stupid dog!" The dog barked at Kevin. The lady got angry. She yelled at Kevin. "Sugar is not stupid. Don't call Sugar stupid," she said. "He's a lot smarter than you are."
