Christmas is over

 My Mom, Hasse and Emil
.



We had a really good Christmas Eve with my family. Very traditional in a Swedish way.
Everyone came at 1PM and then we ate Christmas lunch/dinner. Everything that is good we had on our table.
Ham of course, different kind of herring, egghalves with shrimp"röra", omelett with mushromstew, löjrom, Christmas-sausage, potatoes, beetsallat, meatballs, chipolata sausage, ham-temptation, bread and different kind of cheeses. After that you are totally full I can tell you.
So shortly after it's the longest tradition in Swedish Televison - Donald Duck says Merry Christmas. This program is 1 hour long and during that there are candys - homemade fudge, chocolate, fruit and more.
While everyone is watching TV I prepare coffee with homemade safronbuns, homemade cookies of different kind and a soft gingerbreadcake that Danniel makes every year.
So after Donald Duck is finished Santa comes (in the shape of me) and we get our gifts.
Around 5 or 6 PM we are done with the gifts and it's time for coffee. All the time we sing and chat away of course.
When the coffee is drunk usually it's time for my Mom to go home because she has to order transport very early in the month to be able to get home. Danniel goes with her which is good since she can get very anxoius otherwise.
I have the last years finished Christmas Eve by going to midnight mass with my friend Inger, but this year I was so so tired that I simply couldn't which is a shame because it's a very good way of ending Christmas Eve.

Yesterday, Boxing Day, we had dinner with Jonas, Mandy and Sofie (she's Mandy's Mom).
You can see on the photos what we had to eat except the starter which I forgot to take a photo of. But it was whitefish roe-toast. Main course was baconrolled fillet of pork with a mushromwinesauce (made by me for over 3 hours!!!), potatogratin and greensalat. For dessert chocolatefondant with raspberries and whipped cream.




I hope you will have a really happy ending of 2010 and a Happy New 2011 :-)

Magic numbers 111111. Think about it - it's 100 years til next time and then none of us will be here. Other than that nothing much happened today. Had a meeting and then I went to the opticians and my sight was not what it used to be so I will get new glasses next week. I have also cooked prime rib in red wine the whole afternoon and it's so tender and smells delicious. Danniel and Emil is coming over for dinner tomorrow since Sunday is Father's Day here in Sweden. Jonas is in the studio in Kungälv with H.E.A.T recording their first album with Erik Grönwall as singer :-) We are so excited to see and hear the outcome of this. I'm totally sure it will supergood!! Erik G in the studio The night before they went the guys and their girlfriends had goodbye-party in their rehearsalstudio (The photo taken by Mandy) Tomorrow I'm going to visit my Mom and then Danniel will follow me home for dinner. A special big congratulation to my niece Monica in Barcelona ...

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...

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.
