BÄRLAUCH !!!


thanks to the KULTURKALAS there are market stands from all over the world selling delicious things in town right now. yesterdays coolest purchase was without a doubt the dried bärlauch that i bought from a nice, old german man.
he gave me a recipe book with lots of bärlauch recipes, I LOVE IT !! i made my very first bottle of bärlauch-oil and half a pound of bärlauch butter so far.
in english bärlauch is called bear´s garlic and in swedish you say ramslök. try to get your hands on some - it´s healthy and delicious !!

THE REEF



for our 2 year anniversary i gave henrik a trip to denmark to stay and swim at the THE REEF hotel and resort.
his favorite part was the waterslide that we got to go down in a double-tube, i loved drinking a good pina colada on the sun deck. the pool area was fantastic !! we just wished the service and the dinner options in fredrikshavn were better.
the trip was such a nice break from work though. and now its only one and a half months left until we go on our real vacation to spain :)

the sweet taste of homegrown veggies :)



last week we picked quite a few ripe tomatoes for a spinach-bacon-egg-cheese-onion-tomato-mustard dressing SALAD. the salad is inspired by janice, she got me hooked on it while i lived in jersey. now we´ll have to wait for another week or two until the rest of our tomatoes turn red. a huge THANKS to my friend anna, who gave me the plant when it was still a baby :)
