A nice long Saturday filled with chores – and I also baked a cak
e which turned out great! I have baked my way through the apple recipes in the cookbook that I put together a few years back. This one is definitely a favorite – really worth trying!
Want the recipe – just follow the link!
Now I just came back from taking my youngest to his gym practice. A friend of his also came along today to try and see if he wants to start too. That would be fun for both of them.
He survived his gaming night but I assume he will be a bit tired at practice. I hope he is able to focus so he don’t injure himself.
Shrimp sandwich and breakfast rolls
Got off early today so I went shopping for a birthday present. No luck in town so I made a stop at the Liljeholmen mall. There I started with lunch – a really good shrimp sandwich – on white bread, with lettuce, boiled egg, cucumber, mayo and lemon. Yum.
Then I went looking for the present and I found what I wanted after a bit of struggling. But mission accomplished in the end. Gifts are important – I like to put some heart into both the gift and the wrapping. Makes it personal!
When I came home I made breakfast rolls with poppy seeds on (noticed I have made an error with the recipe – 2msk caster sugar is missing).
The kids and I treated ourselves a taste while they were still warm so the butter and cheese kind of melted.. Soooo delicious!
Elder tree
Anot
her beautiful day and today I was able to sleep in a little bit anyway. We all got up around 8 since my youngest is leaving for a 4-day camp and my husband is competing today as well. So, me and my oldest have the house to ourselves today.
I decided to be a bit productive. Our elder tree is in bloom so I went to get some lemons, caster sugar and citric acid and made my own lemonade/cordial. You can find the recipe in my cookbook.
Oh – last night me and my sister went into town to have dinner with our second cousins. It was the first time we all got together in 20 years! It was a great visit and I am sure we won’t wait that long until next time.
No buses on the way home though.. so I walked the 3-4 km back.. (40 min). After all that great food I guess it might not be a bad thing after all.. lol
Pingst
Pingst – or Whitsun as it is called in English. A lovely day spent with my mother and sister shopping for our children’s upcoming confirmation. We found what we had in mind after a bit of research so that was great!
Now the meat is on the grill and my newly baked Karlsbad buns are fresh out of the oven. They will be perfect with a nice cup of coffee later. It is still very nice outside so dinner will be enjoyed in our back yard. Life is pretty good!
Groceries
Short working day today but I did good and took the stairs and then I walked home the last part. It was almost raining, but I managed to get home before it started. It is quite a nice walk really, I especially like the part past the lake. So peaceful.
Then when I got home I did laundry, went grocery shopping and then started dinner – yiouvetsi – a Greek casserole with pasta rice, beef and tomatoes. It is supposed to be lamb – not beef – but the store didn’t have any lamb today. Not parts to my liking anyway. I know, I can be a bit picky.
Now some me-time in my corner. Cause I deserve it!
Lasagna
My youngest is a brilliant cook and we made a great lasagna together for dinner! It is so much fun to spend time cooking with him – he has a great pallet and tastes and adds herbs and spices as he cooks. I wonder if there is a culinary future for him..
You can find the recipe in my cookbook!
