Store Bededag

emma — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:34:43 +0000

I got a little excited when I saw that in my calendar. Great thought I- I recognize ‘Store’ immediately as meaning ‘big’ and I thought- imagined the rest meant ‘bed-day’ I thought this was a holiday made for me. On my way home from work MrA. ask’s that I nip into a bakers and get some ‘hveder’- special roll’s made only on this night in preparation for ‘great prayer day’- yep, that’s what ‘store bededag‘ means. The roll’s traditionally were bought in a double batch from bakers to last through the praying holiday period as bakers did not have to work on that day.. and today the tradition still stands.. here’s MrA with his roll which he claims must be simply eaten warm and buttered.

I sneaked some roast beef into mine..

yum, yum, and did I mention yumm..

‘Billionaire shortbread’

I feel that one of the main skills of being a top mum is now complete- just in the nick of time. Its taken me a while and trying a few different recipes to get these right. Oh baby.

hmm cake…

Today I made a colourful sponge cake for my girls (yw) using this ‘white cake’ recipe. I had so much fun! This cake recipe is extremely soft and yummy.

Ok.. so the mixture looked a bit like paint to begin with in my mad experiment lab. I added the mixture to the baking tin in spoonfulls and gave a tiny stir with a cocktail stick before putting it in the oven.

And voila! Colourful, spongey, cakey goodness. But now it’s all gone already. I guess I’ll just have to make another one.. (:

Happy Pancake day!

Ahh isn’t he cute..

Its Pancake day! And I feel like sharing the pancake goodness- this is my favorite recipe for thick pancakes.. I haven’t learned to make skinny ones yet.. Mr A might have tried to stab me with his fork for taking that picture the look of him there.

Pancake day is extra cool because it’s also our niece Kamillas (birthday) Who I can’t wait to go see this afternoon.. As a six year old She has quite an interesting birthday wish list that we recieved by email- I think is worth sharing..We love getting these for giggle factor.

lipsticks in Gold, Bronze, pink and red
bracelets
toy make-up
a little green plant for her bedroom
birthday money
kids music
a CD player for her room (she has just got her own room)
a horse outfit

We particuarly like the horse outfit..

hot chocolate

emma — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 18:37:03 +0000

What a treat! I came across these chocolate spoons I am still a bit excited about them- I love the little detail and real chocolate in my hot chocolate mix too.. I had to experiment with just a chocolate spoon and hot milk.. would be darling as a wedding favour or small gift- also can dip your own spoons in chocolate and decorate, think I’ll try that next.

baby its cold outside

emma — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:26:49 +0000

and inside.. even though our heating is up full blast. I’m looking at ways to keep warm and insulate the apartment. While researching draught excluders I warmed up infront of my portable and home-made fireplace while I indulged in *real* hot chocolate ahh.

Considering draught excluder potentual fabrics in the apartment I got super excited as I re-discovered this vintage linen that I picked up in a charity shop a while back and have not been able to part with. I can see a lot of potentual in if I can bring myself to cut it.

hopes for a Happy New Year

We opted for a cosy and quiet, relaxed new year at one of our favorite places- our home.
