Bad, bad Mia

On July 9 I promised I would write more frequent - now it's July 30 and I haven't written since. So bad Mia. But on the other hand you may take it as I have had a lot of fun and haven't had time. Isn't vacation all about relaxing, doing things you want to but don't have the time to do the rest of the year. Or rather you probably have the time but then there are so many "musts" that you don't take the time. For me at least it is like that. When I work I go up at 4AM, starts working at 5.15AM and are home again around 3PM. By then I'm exhausted and I just crash in the sofa in front of TV and instantly falls asleep for around 20 minutes. Then on to cooking and other stuff. Go to bed by 9PM to be able to go up at 4AM and so it goes.

It's official - my vacation is here

What a wonderful start to my vacation. Yesterday me, Hasse and Emil were so excited about the nice weather that we decided to do a little excursion. I wanted to go by boat in lake Malaren to Drottningholm but H and E didn't want to go by boat but they did want to go to Drottningholm. Emil couldn't remember if he had ever been there. Me and Hasse haven't been there for, I think, almost 30 years. We had the most glorious day which started with some "fika" (coffe with a bun) in the castle café when we arrived. Strenghten by the coffee we started our tour. We didn't went inside but just watched the castle from the outside and walked in the beautiful garden. Drottningholm's castle is actually the castle where our King and Queen lives and now also Prince Carl-Philip, Princess Sofia and little prince Alexander. What a wonderful enviroment for them. Parts of the park is therefore not allowed for us to enter and there are guards watching the castle

July is here with high summer and vacation but not just yet....

I have to work this week and then it's holiday time :-) I only have 3 days this week to do everything at work like invoicing, wages and more and on top on that I (silly me since I do the schedule) had the Monday lunch today.  And as I put photos on Facebook there has been a demand to get the recipe so OK I will place it here as well because it's not many of you that will receive our cookbook.  This is an example from 2014. It's called at 11 o'clock with us and that is because we always eat lunch at 11AM. The recipe for Teriyaki chicken with potatoe roll and salat.
