They are home in time for Christmas - H.E.A.T

 The guys when in Gothenburg recording but here they are in a store :-)
On Wednesday the guys came home again after 5 weeks recording in the studio. The result is amazing says Jona but I haven't heard it yet, maybe on Christmas. Well, the recording is finished but now the mixing and mastering takes place and the release won't be until sometimes next year, maybe March.
I'm so curious as I suppose all of you are too. I think we are in for a real treat with this one!
 Jona laying keys, you can see his fingers ;-) The one by the computer is Crash

Apart from that we had Christmas party at the Rheumatic association Stockholm district on Wednesday. Very nice. We served glögg, of course, with gingerbread cookies, Santa-porridge, ham, Christmas-cheese, bread, coffee with safronbuns and of course a "gottisbord" (candytable-it's not really a table but a big bowl of candies which you associate with Christmas like fudge, chocolate and much much more)
We also had a man coming who entertained us - a trobadour you could say. He was great. He told stories, he sang and he got us involved in singing and laughing. I think he was a bit specialized in our great National poet/composer Evert Taube who wrote so many songs about Sweden, summer and more. But of course we also sang Christmas songs. Singing really lifts your spirit and you feel so happy when you sing. I love it although I'm not the best singer ;-)

Yesterday I went to the hospital to do a CT of my stomach that has been troubling me more and more the last months. I had to do some nasty preparations - well not that nasty :-) but drink some stuff so my bowls would be spotted on the photos, not very good! Then at the table I had something in my blood that made me feel heated (!). But all went well. Now I have to wait for the results.


Today I was supposed to go out to dinner to celebrate we graduated college 20 years ago but my friend couldn't so we have to take a rain check on that :-(
But on Sunday Jonas and Mandy will come here for dinner and that's nice. As I said I haven't seen Jonas for 5 weeks but Mandy has been here and we have been out and about.
 The rödvinsbrässerade högrev (Rib cooked in redwine)
Lasagne

The same day Sunday I'm cooking for work and it's hard. I haven't yet decided what to do? I wage between - a special Lasagne that I do and serve that with sallat or högrev (like rib but not) cooked in redwine in the oven for 6 hours together with chantarelles, bacon, onions and served with almond potatoe puré and sallat??
I have no idea! Then I have to think of a desert. Should be Christmas inspired I think but I don't know.
This time it's hard. Which one do you think looks most delicious? And have you an idea for desert?
All ideas will be happily noted :-)

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.

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...

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 ...
