November is here with darkness and cold






Yes, I have a bad cold and have had it for 10 days. It's not very nice and the coughing is worst.

I think of Hasse when I cough and I think it's tough but he has been coughing constantly for 7 years every day!! That is tough!

Although cold I worked on Monday and then went on education for 2 days. It was hard but I managed and I stayed in town at a hotel instead of travelling home in rush hour so that was nice.

But then I have been home resting and trying to get better and I do think I'm a bit better. Last night I slept the whole night through for the first time in a long time.

Tomorrow it's Father's Day here in Sweden and I will celebrate Hasse. Emil will probably come as well but Jonas can't. He's going to Buenos Aires on Wednesday for a show with Martina Edoff and they have dress rehearsal tomorrow.

I'm so happy that Jonas get to experience so much of the world thanks to his big talent. He and Mandy are going to Florida and Mexico in January on holiday :-)


Today is "kladdkakans dag" here in Sweden. It's a kind of chocolate cake which is smudgy inside and is served with whipped cream. So I made one for "fika" today :-)
Here's a recipe for a delicious "kladdkaka" if you wish to try :-)



KLADDKAKA



100 g butter
2 organic eggs
2 dl white sugar
1 dl brown sugar
2 ½ dl wheat flour
4 tablespoons cocoa of good quality
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 pinch of salt
Butter and bread crumbs for the baking tin.
50 g dark chocolate of good quality

Preheat the oven to 150 C (302F)

Melt the butter in a saucepan. 
Beat eggs, sugar, brown sugar until fluffy and stir in the butter.
Mix the dry ingredients and mix into the batter. Add 50 g dark chocolate which you have shopped into small pieces.
Fill the batter into a greased and floured mold with removable edges
Bake in middle of oven for about 30 minutes. Test if ready, it should be a bit sticky especially in the middle.

Enjoy!

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...

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.

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 ...
