Christmas preparations

Today has been all about Christmas preparations. I started out this morning by waking up (good move) and having a wonderful breakfast. After that I took a shower and looked at the computer. Then it was time for "Melodikrysset" which is a crossword with music questions in the radio. H and I always do that every Saturday morning.

I had a bowl of porridge and then I went out in the shopping jungle. Yes, you really could say it is these days. Do you know when I came to our mall I had to circle around the parkinglog for 15-20 minutes before I got a parking place. And then I had to PAY! Can you believe that? We never used to do that but there are new owners. What's more upsetting was that there were 2 parking guards going up and down and writing tickets. Every other car had one. That is not OK when it's Christmas.

I made almost all my shopping, yeah! and I'm very happy about that but it took me a couple of hours.

When I returned home I started baking cookies. First I made gingerbread biscuits, then chocolatecookies and finally oatmealcookies. All from homemade dough of course.

Then it was time to make dinner and we all wanted fish so I made a deliciuos fishdish.

Ovenmade fish with herbsauce

400 g cod
lemon cest from one lemon
1 table spoon olive oil
salt and pepper

Sauce:
1 1/2 dl water
1 fish broth or homemade
1 dl dill
1 dl parsley
2 dl creme fraiche
1-2 teaspoon lemonjuice
salt and pepper

Roasted vegetables:
2 Squash à 300 g
150 g sugerpeas
2 cloves of garlic
oliveoil
salt and pepper

Instructions:
Cut the cod in big pieces. Place in a greased oven proofed form. Salt and pepper on the cod and top with the lemon cest and pour olive oil over. Bake in 225C for about 10-12 minutes.

Sauce: Boil the broth and water. Put the dill and parsley in a mixer and pour over the hot broth.
Mix to a green mixture and put it back in the pot. Then add creme fraiche, stir and let it cook. Add lemonjuice and flavour it with salt and pepper.

Vegetables:
Cut the squashes in halves. Remove the soft inside, then cut in "halfmoons" 1 cm thick. Slice the sugarpeas diagonal and chop the garlic fine. Then roast the squash and garlic together in the oliveoil for a couple of minutes and then add the sugarpeas. Let it roast until made but still "al dente".

Bon appetit!
I should have put a photo here but we ate so fast that there were no time. Maybe next time.

Good night and sleep well :-)

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.

Hello December

This month started with a tax education, yeah :-) in Uppsala. Since we don't have a goverment yet due to the chaotic political scene after the election, no one actually knows what's going to happen with taxes. It's just guesses. The day after we had Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic district of Stockholm. It was a lot of fun, good food and nice to meet everyone :-) And on Saturday it was time for Christmas lunch with my own Rheumatic local association. We were around 30 members incl. Eddie and Mandy. We had a lot of good food and we had the party at a local hotel here in Väsby in Bredden. There were two other children there so I bought them each a Christmas gift and they were very happy for what they got from the Rheumatic Santa Claus.
