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 :-)

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here.  On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...

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.
