This is what I picked from our three bushes this year. One redcurrant bush , one gooseberry and one red gooseberry. All of them were planted in May 2008. I think they did quite well – despite the fact that I didn’t know you’re not supposed to fertilize the gooseberries (at all?) until I had [...]

Pan-fried salmon (I fried some spring onion slices in the salmon pan & added lemon juice), yoghurt and dill, olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper was the sauce, new tiny potatoes just boiled.

I know, it’s been a while. I was sick (with pneumonia! Wow) and then, you know, life. I’ve got several photographs that I want to post but somehow I never get around to actually getting them off the camera and into the computer. And then, of course, I can’t post without those photos. So I [...]

I made a Louise cake. The recipe is from New Zealand and Melissa of tiny happy pointed me in the right direction (here is her post). All I have to say is that it looks cute, tastes great, is a lot easier to make than you think when you look at the recipe, and it [...]

I just made this soup (actually I made it yesterday and ate it today) and it’s delicious. Ridiculously tasty, thinking of it’s just beans. And spices. It goes straight into the staple recipe list. Yum!

I got this book, Copenhagen Children’s Rooms, for a song at a shop here in Copenhagen (they only had the one, because they were in it). I had had my eye on the Paumes series for a while and particularly this one. I put it down to wedding luck – I bought it on [...]

K. is on his way home with ice cream (we got a bigger freezer). I’ve been reading Skye Gyngell’s cookbook for a week now (I just start over again when I finish it) and it’s making me so hungry. M. is learning to crawl! Tonigh he happily peed on the blanket and then he crawled [...]

I didn’t think a site on baby weaning would make me laugh (or, I didn’t think the text would). But there you go. I love Brits.
(Warning: It probably won’t be funny for normal people ie. those not trying to make small babies eat with their hands…)

I spent the evening trying to get a tired little boy to sleep and then cooking spaghetti with tomato sauce from a bottle. The sauce was Italian and organic, but somehow they all taste the same (bad) way. I planted some seeds the other day, finally. Squash and physalis, a really odd mix, but anyway. [...]

I went into the city today for the first time since M was born. He slept the whole time and only woke up to eat, have his diaper changed and give me some huge smiles.
A homeless woman at the train station congratulated me on the baby and told me I should have five children. I [...]
