Snow

This afternoon it started snowing and it's really beautiful. It actually stays on the ground since it has been cold and icy all day.
When I was out walking Hilma she went nuts. She just loves the snow especially eating it. Every winter it's the same she rather eat the snow than drink water. Isn't that strange? Does any of you have a dog that does the same?

Today I started work late since we had this information all afternoon but do you think I got anything done? I slept in until 07.30 which was very nice. Then had a lovely breakfast. I was going to watch TV a favourite show I have that is called A place in the sun, but suddenly our TV didn't work :-(
We have installed a satellite dish last Friday and it hasn't been working properly since so I got so frustrated. I was trying to get it to work and the clock kept ticking.
Finally I had to take a shower, do my hair and makeup, eat lunch and then off to work so I actually ended up stressing. Oh, I forgot I cut H's hair as well and prepared dinner.

I have to share a recipe with you and it is what we had to dinner yesterday. It was a new recipe I tried and it was delicious but I added some bits and pieces making it even better (I think). So here it is:

Stew of pork fillet and honey

70 g bacon
500 g pork fillet
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
2,5 dl water
2 dl cream
1 tablespoon tamarisoy
1 tablespoon honey
2 apples
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon mushrom soy
300 g pasta
100 g salat
1 dl fine chopped leek
200 g tomatoes
100 g sliced carrots

Cut the bacon i smaller pieces. Fry in a pan. Cut the porkfillet in thin slices and fry them in the butter i the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour and stir. Add water, cream, honey, tamarisoy and mushrom soy. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Cut the apples in slices and add together with tarragon.
Serve with a salat made out of salat, leek, tomatoes and carrots and pasta.

I hope you will enjoy this dish which we thought was good. You can even serve it when you have guests. It's that good.

It's the big PARTY tomorrow and I'm sure we will have a lot of fun. I'm a bit sad because I had 3 different things that I was invited to. That never ever happens otherwise. First I was invited to this big party at Café Opera, then my work party and also tomorrow night H.E.A.T will perform unplugged at Harry B James in Stockholm. That would have been something to see. But you have to make a choice and I choose my work since 28 years. I am going to see H.E.A.T in Linkoping as well as in London and I can't go to every concert even if I wanted to :-)

Now I'm actually going to watch TV!! I'm going to see a programme called Farmer looks for a wife. Until tomorrow then :-)

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 ...

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...
