Flip-a-trick

image

Tonight my sons flip-a-trick class starts again. I remember when I used to have the same passion for gymnastics.  It is so rewarding to see him enjoy himself and that he has found something that gives him that extra energy.

While he is enjoying that I am going to enjoy the next hand-ball game.. we are facing Poland tonight. We need to win. I hope we do.

Pulled pork

What a great dish. You put it in the oven and leave it there for a whole day. And it turns out great. The pulled pork, I mean. Tried pulled beef the other weekend – did not turn out as good. Pork is our favorite.

Now it is time for an evening drink to finish off the weekend and to celebrate that we beat Russia in the way too exciting hand-ball game.   Cheers everyone! 

Snowy Saturday

Today it has been snowing all day. Non stop. It took a while to dig out the car so we could go grocery shopping. Now a nice roast is in the oven, potatoes ready to be next. Relaxing a bit before dinner and watching an old movie called “Nemesis Game”. Hoping for an equally good day tomorrow.

Have a nice evening! 

Sweden-Croatia

Hand-ball tonight. Group finals. We have already made it to the next level but it is an important game anyway. And so much fun to see!

Tonight I will enjoy a shrimp sallad for dinner while my boys eat pork tenderloin and fries. I would love to loose a few (read 10) kilos, but it seems very hard. To be honest I am not trying very hard..

Weekend – here I come!

Thursday

A good Thursday has almost come to an end. Lunch with my best friend (way too long since our last date), good work, new curtains ironed and in place. Now I am dead tired crashed in my corner. Hoping for it to be my turn in wordfeud soon!

Wednesday treat

Nothing beats a great panfried flounder with boiled potatoes and vegetables. Especially in the middle of the week. That’s what I call a treat.

Now some me-time – corner & latte. Life is not so bad. 

Rye bread

Yesterday was an emotional day for me for some reason. I was tired and felt like our family need some positive news and something to look forward to. We all struggle a bit, each for our own reason.

When I was little my mom and grandma used to bake a bread made from sifted rye flour. All round with a hole in the middle. I have my grandmas old recipe book so I found the recipe and the bread turned out great. I had a taste last night when the bread was still warm and soft. With tea and orange marmalade. It brought back memories and it was great to start today with a breakfast with home made rye bread.

Winter has really arrived. It was freezing this morning and quite beautiful with all the white snow covering the trees. What a wonderful wonderful world – like the song says.

Let’s hope it stays this pretty for a while but without the traffic hassle and chaos…

Breakfast rolls

Yesterday I baked some bread for breakfast and it was really nice to enjoy this morning.
For a day of doing nothing I did plenty yesterday – cleaning, doing laundry,  changed all four beds, grocery shopping, baking, homework assistant, cooking.. but I also had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the skiers on tv along with working on my knitting project.

Today I have another day of doing nothing.. the sun is shining so maybe a nice walk might be an option.
