  • Cooking & Vaccination

    These days are really time for spending time having good food. A lot of traditional Christmas food. I got a little tired of ham, herring etc and started to long for home made Yorkshire pudding with sirup and whipped cream. It is like having dessert for dinner.

    You, or at least me, need something to do meanwhile waiting for the vaccin to kick in. Vaccination has started, and now it is only time to wait for immunity to increase. Slowly, we will see the effects of the vaccin, and still we have to be reminded of the presence of the Corona virus and other viruses as well. Therefore, I did some cooking this evening. And I did something I haven’t done for a while. It looks like a souffle, but is called a Yorkshire pudding. Very tasty and it reminds me of summer.

  • Happy holidays ✨

    Corona Christmas. I have been to the countryside, and I have travelled very carefully. With medical face mask, distancing and hand washing. I have spent some time with sweetie and cutie.  Lady was very apprehensive. She was very careful about every step, and she garded her place. Like she knows that we have to be careful with the Corona virus. We went for a walk today, and she can only go for little walks since she needs to pay attention to her paws.

    Molly did not care so much. She was happy, and she has been with Lady for a year now. Best friends. The three of us went for a walk in the forest. We saw a deer far away. When we go for walks I let them loose in the forest where there are no cars and nothing else that can bother. Sometimes they disappear, and they return after a while. With smiling faces. Lady has thought Molly a lot, and I have a feeling that they both are content.

    I did a little catching up in the local news and I found a “Laban cartoon”. This never happens. Lady and Molly detest to stay at home. They always insist of going for walks! But they love staying on the couch.

    Stay safe and stay tuned 🐾

  • Salvation Army Carols

    Christmas is here. A rare Corona virus christmas. December has passed rapidly, and 2021 is arriving wether we like it or not. I am preparing a Christmas gift for you, dear readers. For those of you who have Swedish as maternal language there will be translations. Since I have friends who do not read Swedish, I write in English. Languages are difficult, and even though google translate is available, you may loose some content by not translating carefully.

    Tomorrow I will finally see sweetie and cutie. I thought I should play some Lady Gaga, but that is more appropriate for new year. I have watched some Mr Bean lately and he is rather good at playing Christmas Carols. Enjoy!

    Stay safe and stay tuned 🐾

  • The fourth Sunday of Advent 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

    Weekend before Christmas in extrordinary times. In Corona times like this, you need to be able to improvise. To live life and do the very best you can. It would be interesting to listen to somebody who has experienced the Polio pandemic. Like grandmother used to tell about life when she grew up.

    The Swedish government has introduced new recommendations with regard to Covid-19. However, the spreading of the virus will certainly reduce when the vaccine is available. And it is already available, I have noticed. The newly elected American president Joe Biden has been vaccinated, whereas the French president Emmanuel Macron was unlucky since he has contracted the Corona virus and developed symptoms of Covid-19.

    Meanwhile, I improvise. I started Christmas by making the delicacy: Jansson’s temptation. Mixed potatoes with onions, anchovies and cream. It took some time since I boiled the potatoes in cream and milk. Then the owen for a while. Tasty, and in addition, cosy.  Good to get reminded of previous season holidays. In these times it is perfect to revive memories. Perhaps you get inspired!

    Stay safe and stay tuned 🐾
