Optimism and cabin life

Because of the long long winter

I found myself moaning and complaining

more than usual about the weather and the cold temperature!

I have decided to stop it.

In two days it is first of March

I have decided that for me, thats when Spring starts!

(even if the snow stays put)

This weekend we went to the Cabin.

Sunday Morning it looked like this:

Lonely hammock
The cabin

The shed

.....

But first:

This was the inside of the kitchen window when we came to the cabin

on friday night after work.

The temperature outside had risen to 0 C (32 F)

And we were so pleased with it!

Inside the cabin it was -4 C (24.8 F)!

We took it as men (and women)

Made a fire

Kept our coats and mittens on

Made some cocoa and kept the spirit

While the temperature slowly rose

A while later

Dinkie threw her coat and curled up in front of the fire

I made a colorful salad
and baked the lasagne I made at home thursday evening.

(The magic is in the planning)


It was a lovely friday night!
Teenagers and parents,
Lovely food and a
a crappy horrorfilm


The snow on the roof outside the door
was threatning to slide down in our heads,
but nothing happened except an occational ice cold
drop of water down our neck
A sign of spring!

Vegetarian Lasagna

I fancied some lasagna one day, but didn't have any mince.

I was looking for something to replace it, and grated carrot and swede.

The red sauce was made of chrushed tomatoes, onions, garlic, carrot, swede

and the herbes and spices I like
I made bechamel sause
and put the two sauces it in layers with pasta sheets


Finally, slices of Norvegia cheese on top

(Thought I had done enough of grating for one afternoon)

The lasagna had just the consistency we like

And most of us didn't miss the meat at all!
