Good riddance

It was just a bit too much snow left
with my spade and wheel barrow
I moved a ton (or more)

Oh, the blisters in my hands!

and then off
where the cruel sun shines

Good riddance!
Then some good viking bread for lunch

This and that at Easter

Hepatica ( Norwegian "blåveis")
Is is one of the safe signs of spring in Norway
They were once about to go extinct around were we live
because everyone picked them to make spring bouquets.
They have been protected for years,
and we now enjoy their lovely blue faces where they appear.
Like this: at the corner of the cabin.
The lamb of leg, made a tasty stew that lasted two days

This is my first ever cornbread
Very good, and very yellow,
I will definitely make that again!

Easter joy

Oil in my muffin trays
We're making Yorkshire puddings
Fluffy puddings, always a hit!

Easter leg of lamb
Carved and juicy

Meat, yorkshire puddings, gravy, gratinated potatoes and vegetables
Yummy!
While eating, the Easter bunny knocked on the door!

We like it!!

Sweets, marzipan and chocolate

Cabin cooking

Cooking over an open fire
in an old iron pan
To stirr the soup, this worked perfectly
stirring and watching the fire

Little Chef

Time to serve!

The twins are down

Remember these twins?
The photo might lie about the size
but it was quite massive and stole a lot of light!
So the other day, a farmer cut it down for us
Yes it was some big logs! All this firewood!

She's a lumberjack and she's ok
she sleeps all night and she works all day !

The foreman watching over the job.

Windows and sausages

She's looking out of the window.
Sometimes there's a bird, a dog
or even her "sister", the cat.
(If that cheeky cat walks past
hell breaks loose.)
Her nose touches the glass again and again
leaving nosemarks.
Today it was time to clean some windows!

Take the curtains down and clean them.

Phew! Cleaning windows is hard, she says.
(or watching someone do it)
She takes a rest with her Teddy Dog

For dinner: Spicy sausages
Yummy!
Mashed potatoes, beans, cheese sausage, spicy sausage, broccoli.
