Father's Day

Today it was Father's Day here in Sweden and J and E was here to celebrate H. I had actually given him a gift this morning although he isn't my father but he is the father of my children.

After a quiet morning with a looooooooong lovely breakfast I made the bed and then went shopping. We have this role in the house that whenever it's someone's birthday or other day to celebrate they get to choose what we're having to dinner. Tody H of course choose, since it is his favourite food, meatloaf Mia's way with mashed potatoe and carrots.
OK I will give you the recipe:

Mia's meatloaf with mashed potatoes and carrots

1 kg mince meat
1 onion (yellow
)
1 dl dried bread crumbs
1 dl cream
1 dl water
2 dl Vasterbotten cheese
1 egg
salt
pepper


Instructions:
Put 1 dl dried bread crumbs with the cream and water in a big bowl. Stir and let it swell for about 10 minutes
. Add well chopped onion and grated cheese, stir. Then add an egg, salt and pepper. Finally you mix it all together until it's all well blended.
Use cold water on your hands and form a loaf which you then place in a greased ovensafed form. Put 3 thin slices of butter on top of the loaf and add some water just a couple of tablespoons in the bottom
. Let it sit in 225 C for around 1 hour. If it gets too burnt turn the oven down to 200C. Slice and serve with home made mashed potatoes with real butter, warm milk, salt and pepper.
Peal carrots, slice them in coin size and boil them until they are soft in a salted water.
Serve together. Enjoy
!

Nothing to it :-) I hope you will have a good night sleep. I know I will

  1. Is mince meat like ground beef? We have something called minced meat here but it may or may not actually be meat. It's a mystery to me. Anyway, I was just curious!

  2. Yes it's the same. I think it's called mince meat in England and ground beef in USA. In Swedish it's notfars :-)

  4. Can't you print them yourself? I can try to mail them to you if it helps otherwise you do have them here. Maybe I should write a cookbook?

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
