Jerusalem Artichoke Soup and Blue Berry Soufflé







Lillie had Tuesday dinner party today, and tried a few new things on us. It worked out brilliantly and was very tasty indeed. Those of you who were too ill and had other bad excuses, well you missed out. :)

Hooked on Mash


Latest addiction. What's next? Emerdale Farm?

Fuck Grapefruit



But, but... it is so tasty... :(

If you don't follow that web comic by now, I don't know what to do with you... just add it to bookmarks will you?

In a Cardigan's mood

"Losing A Friend"

You're losing a friend
You got it all wrong
I'ts not about revenge
But you're losing a friend
I didn't see it coming
With my head stuck in the sand
But now I'm loosing a friend
And it's keeping me up
It's the ribbons I tied
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Than let you go
You're losing a friend
You jeopardise me
Bad bad blood on your hands
And see, you're losing a friend
I'm fickle and I'm vain
And you trick me over and over again
And now I'm losing you
And it's killing me
It's the strings that I tie
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Then let it all go
My mistake
To lose you
Oh no, oh no!
So this the end now
I'm losing you
Oh, look at you!
Look what you're wasting
You're losing a friend
Oh no, oh no!
I'm losing a friend
Oh, oh oh no

Kitchen Cat



The Bluest eyes in Texas... he would have had if you had been there. Just look at him, so blue and then his fur shimmering black on his nose. The cats make very nice interior design details.

Spring Without Winter

According to Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) spring is here! The Meteorological definition of Spring requires it to be past the February 15 and the average temperature must have been above 0 C for at least 7 consecutive days. Fall turns into winter when we have had more than 7 consecutive days with average temperature below 0 C, but we have not had that this time. SMHI have added a new rule, that autumn cannot end later than Feb 14. On valentine's day, I and my fellow southerners had to accept that we will not have any official winter, this time around. It is smashing I tell you! I hate winter, cold and snow that melts and messes up your shoes. I'm all for the abolition of winter.

And it is spring in my kitchen too. Bought some lovely flowers today, and turned the floor heating up to 21.5 C... from that point of view it might even be summer. Just need to go and get me some herbs for the window, and its going to be so cozy in here.

Castro Resigns







A historical moment indeed.

Could that be you?



Does this happen? Why? Do you play along? Does it matter? Do you get provoked?

So this is Saturday Evening

Don't really know why, but Saturday evening brought me here. Much to think of, much to take into account.

Two Boys


We are having a relaxing evening together. They are sitting on top of each other, in my lap. Very cuddly.

Breakfast



Reading


Got hooked on the book I got from mother. I'm half way through now. No kitchen work today, just laying on the sofa and resting and reading. A good Sunday in all. Yes, and got been soup at ex-husband's place and a nice walk.

Heaven is on Fire

No photoshop involved, the heaven was most certainly on fire today, just before the sun sat.

The cats seem to be leaving them alone. Pretty tulips that I bought today.

New shoes 70% discount, couldn't leave them in the store.

Friday Evening

Had a lovely day at work today. Made me realise how much I like my colleagues. It is a commonly known fact that I like being the centre of attention, that it makes me feel good. But, I must say I like even better when I see that the people I work with feel good about what they are doing. Planting the seed, watering it, nursing it, taking care of it, watching it grow... I want everyone to be the best they can be, and then some. I want them to blossom and spark, to see the road ahead, to feel good about what they do.

The other day I was thinking what I should blog from the far east, the capital of my heart, the home Islands, call it what you which, I call it Tokyo. I hope there will be a signature on paper soon. The constant battle between public and private. What should stay in my head, what should go in my private log, what should go on my blog. I gain a lot from being open and vulnerable people tell me. But the question is, what do I loose? I want the people I work with to feel safe, to feel that I'm their safe spot, that I will carry them through... do I really want them to feel that? I really want them to feel like they themselves will be able to carry them home. And I know they will.

We are making mobile phones... I mean that is nothing really, put in a more existential glimmer. What we actually are making is success, successful living, successful thoughts about what we are doing. We are making friends that will last a life time. Are we? or is it just me that are investing? Investing? what does that actually mean? If I'll die tomorrow, I'll be all right, because I believe, that after we're gone, the spirit carries on. Puhuha, I don't actually believe that... when you're gone, you're gone. But until that shivering minute I'll be kickin' an' screamin'. :)

World Wide Web, I've been called... Is that fair... why is i bothering me? I want to be someone you can tell secrets. Information wants to be free... who was it that said that? Stewart Brand.... in1984... Does it really? And should I support it´s wishes?

Well time to go to bed now... help me out here, please.. . what do you think? feel?

Compiling


Tomorrow we're on it again. I'm longing for my new kitchen.

While Waiting for the Bus


Just obey her, you know you want to.

Mortified


Inkonst

Please visit Skambyrån or if you're not too big on Swedish getMortified. Unfortunately, I read through my pink diary with a very easily picked padlock when I was in high school, and I couldn't bear the anxiety attack it set off, which ended with the destruction of the diary in question. I'm trying to make up for it by writing and blogging stuff now... for everyone to see, and some writing some stuff for no one to see. Afraid that it will set off yet another anxiety attack, and frankly, it is cheaper to destroy a pink diary than a laptop.

Plock i Pinn


Anna and Lillie and I had dinner. Very tasty...

Aron Arty

Since both my little darlings are visiting my parents place, I had to steal a photo from mother's blog. I will probably ask her for the original, since my alteration would make a pretty cool poster, don't you think?



And I just have to show you the original (or almost original, changed the contrast a bit). It is a lovely photo, with a nice perspective in it. And I like that Aron is looking away, which invites you to look further back in the photo to find out what he is looking at.

Kitchen Status

The Albanian Room. Srdan and Jessica had one, and now I've got one of me own.

Dad is working. Mum is compiling the cupboards, and I'm assisting. I'm looking forward to being able to cook in my kitchen. However I do not have that much counter top space, so I'll have to think of a cunning solution for that one.

Cracks in the wall. We might need to do some wall improvements too. :)

Emptiness

My house is no longer a home. I thought I heard a step, I thought that I heard someone mjaoing.

I know that I will get used to it in a couple of days. Get used to having a flat without any cats in it. And a week is not that long, but they we all know. This is a test, a test to see if mum can handle living with my two fur balls. I will miss them like crazy if I move to the Japans. But then I'm afraid they will actually turn crazy if they are forced to go on the mega long trip to Japan.

Miss little Aron laying on my arm right now, looking at what I'm writing on the screen, trying to sneak some body heat from me. Miss the purr Mint makes when you pet his belly. Miss my babies....

One day at the time.

Dinner with Anna


Yet another lovely dinner with Anna, at cafe rasoir (or how the hell you spell it).

Cat and Box


= true. What is that really about?
