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 :-)

Peter and his wife Toshimi. A lovely couple. Me and Helen before the show. LADIES NIGHT Yesterday me and my sister H went to Uppsala to see Ladies night. Have you ever been on one you know what I'm talking about. For you others who haven't yet experienced this I can tell you it's 2500 women and 0 men in the au dience. But on stage there is only men and what men!! One goodlooking guy after another. When we arrived we had champagne and white wine and different kinds of shellfish which wasn't that good but we ate and drank and had fun. For dessert we had a wonderful chocolatecake with raspberrysauce. During dinner Daniel Da Silva taught us to dance Marengo and Disco from the 80s. A lot of fun when everyone stood up and danced. After that a songcompetition and singalong. Finally at 9 the main event. Peter Stormare, Martin Stenmarck and Henrik Hjelt entered the stage. A 2 hour show with full steem all the way. Lots of sex hints of course but also ver

Sibbarpsrevyn, Ballon dance and conference

My sister Jo sent me this link to a very funny performance by Sibbarpsrevyn. How she can find this in LA I don't know ;-) Watch and enjoy :-) Sibbarpsrevyn   I will send something right back to her and that is our famous "The Ballon dance" The original was with Lars Åberg, Sven Melander and one other which I don't remember. They performed in a TV-show called Nöjesmaskinen "The Enterteinment machine" and was so funny. This version which I found on youtube is from a show called Diggiloo that performs outdoors in the summer all over Sweden. And as you can see we have this wonderful summer weather here ;-) This was, I think, 3 years ago and we must have had a very rainy summer. Watch this, enjoy and tell me what you think :-) Ballongdansen Otherwise I have been on the chairmen conference today and I'm so very tired but it was so good and give so much but now I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the weekend, be lazy and chill ;-)
