Small town charm

Monday, 23 November, 2020, 10:49 PM

The days are short here now. It might sound crazy but I love the darkness. The sun sets around 3 pm. It is so cozy and I love being home where my roots are.

I bought my parents an apple TV and I am trying to teach them how to get into Netflix. They always complain about the commercials on regular TV so I brought home a solution. The next problem now it to teach them a new routine. What do they say about old dogs and sitting...?

Tonight they did get into the show "The Crown" I think they watched 7 episodes straight!

I took a walk in my hometown. Where we currently live is about a 30 min drive to get to Söderköping. I am so emotionally attached to this place and I truly miss living here. I can honestly say that I am jealous of everyone who gets to spend all year here. What a dream! In my dreamworld I would have a house here and keep our base in New York. I need more of Sweden in my life and I have to figure out how to make that my reality. Life is too short.

Our (one and only) bookstore is actually the oldest one in the entire country!. Established 1815.

I was looking around online for a couple of gifts for my parents but then realized I should not spend my $ with the big online stores but instead support our local shops! Said and done!

I also went to our bakery. I was an intern here when I was 13:-)

When we got home I cooked lasagna for my parents and uncle who lives with us. It came our great and we really enjoyed dinner!

A glass of red wine a day keeps the doctor away!

As a dessert I served the pastries I picked up from the bakery along with a coffee martini!

I rarely measure anything I make but here are the ingredients to the martini:

  • Cold coffee
  • Baileys
  • Coffee Liquor
  • Vodka
  • Heavy cream (just a little bit to make it a bit creamier)
  • I garnish the glass on the inside with chocolate syrup/sauce


I have picked up a new hobby/obsession.... Crosswords! It is so much fun!

I never really had the time to do it before. Or maybe I am just getting old LOL

Christmas cookies!

Monday, 23 November, 2020, 10:23 PM

Every year my family bakes together before advent (By December, Sweden has very few hours of daylight. The first Sunday of Advent comes as an eagerly awaited sign that Christmas is approaching. Time to light the candles, heat up the mulled wine, or glögg, and get into the Christmas mood.)has arrived. This year we split it up in 2 sessions to make sure we are not too many at once. We listened to Christmas music and got into the holiday mood!

I made these super yummy saffron and coconut cookies!

This is the recipe ( I only have it in Swedish )


50 g smör
2 ägg
1 dl strösocker
0,5 g saffran
200 g kokosflingor

Dekoration:
100 g vit choklad (eller mörk om du hellre vill ha det.

Gör så här:
1. Sätt ugnen på 175 grader. Smält smöret och låt svalna.
2. Rör ihop ägg, socker och saffran i en skål. Tillsätt kokosflingor och smör och rör ihop till en smet. Låt stå i 10 minuter och svälla.
3. Klicka ut smeten med hjälp av två skedar och forma till 15 stora toppar på en plåt med bakplåtspapper.
4. Grädda mitt i ugnen ca 15 min till de har fått fin färg.
5. Låt svalna. Smält chokladen i micro eller vattenbad och doppa botten i choklad. Ställ på bakplåtspapper och låt stelna i kylen.

My teenager nephew Milton who never wants to take his hoodie off for unknown reasons..

We took a break and went down to the barn to say hi to the cows! Love the country life livin'!

I was invited for dinner at my brothers house in Söderköping Friday. This is my niece & Goddaughter Frida. She is just toooo cute!

My sister in law Sofie and my niece Emilia

My brother is a chef and the food was delicious! I could eat his home cooked meals every day!

After dinner we played a board game, we are all very competitive and I am sad to say that my team lost:-(
