TisdagsTema: Plats
Alla har vi favoritplatser. Eller så har vi platser vi inte alls tycker om. Det finns vackra platser, skrämmande platser, roliga platser osv. Vilken plats vill ni visa upp?
 |
| Bahriya, Egypt |
Ett lungt och stilla ställe där man får andas ut och det är så otroligt vackert. En solnedgång samt soluppgång som var helt magnifika.
Tuesdays theme is place and one of my absolute favorite places is the White Desert in Bahriya, Egypt. It is the most clam and serine place in the world. I love it.

Fabrikens v4: Badrum
” Ett rätt utnyttjat badande kan ge mycket gynnande effekter. Badandet ska ha en viktig plats i människans vardag.”
Men ett foto som jag hittade var på mamma och pappas gamla badrum, i den förra lägenheten i Dubai. Det är inte "möblerna" jag gillar utan det är ju hur min mamma har dekorerat badrummet - med den fantastiska duschdrapperiet i silke och vackra turkosa detaljer. Min mamma är en fena på att dekorera och detta är ju verkligen ett badrum som jag skulle vilja spendera tid i.
Fabrikens Tuesday challenge is to show a bathroom and this picture is from my Moms and Dads bathroom in their old apartment in Dubai. I love the turquoise detailing.

Borta i snö kommer fram i tö...
In November I accidentally dropped the key to the mail box and it was just GONE. But last week we found it frozen into the drive way. We brought out the hair dryer and melted the key out...

Afternoon tea
Afternoon tea - Apple and Cinnamon tea with a deepening of flavor from a cinnamon stick, in one of my Moms wedding gifts, Mother of Pearl tea cups. My parents received this gift at their wedding and then a couple of years ago my mom gave them to me. And the lovely Polaris candle sticks from Rörstrand are a favorite at the moment.

Salmon and dill - a great combo!
Igår blev det en superenkel pasta till middag. Ingen av oss orkade riktigt göra något speciellt men vi var ändå sugna på något som var gott. Så det fick bli en jättesnabb pastasås med lax. Tar ungefär lika lång tid att göra såsen som att koka pastan.
Laxpasta med dill (2 port)
2 laxfiléer
3 dl matlagningsgrädde
1 mellanstor gul lök
1 fiskbuljongtärning
Dill efter behag
Salt och Peppar
Hacka löken smått och stek i stekpannan tills genomskinlig. Tillsätt filéerna skurna i bitar. Stek dem så att de får lite av en yta, men inte genomstekta. Häll på matlagningsgrädden, smula i buljongen och krydda. Låt småputtra tills laxen är färdig. Servera med pasta (mitt val vore spaghetti eller tagliatelli eller någon annan lång pastasort).
When in the mood for something tasty but doesn't take more time than letting pasta boil, this salmon and dill pasta sauce is really good. It's easy and tasty and no fuss.
Salmon filéets and dill pasta sauce (2 portions)
2 Salmon filéets
3 dl cooking cream / half-an-half that can be cookied
1 medium sized onion
1 fish buljong cube
Dill (after taste)
Salt and pepper
Chop the onion finely and fry transparant in a little butter. Add the filéets cut into cubes and fry them till you have a slight sear on the edges, but not cooked all the way through. Add the cream and the buljong cube as well as the dill and the seasonings. Let simmer till the salmon is done and serve with a long pasta such as spahgetti or tagliatelle.

New Years Eve
After a pretty annoying trip back from Dubai, we were happy to have planned a really nice night in Uppsala with friends. We had planned to make dinner together and then spend a lovely evening and night together and since we were to land at 3 p.m. we were going to have lots of time to change and get ourselves ready before going to Uppsala. Unfortunely since we landed around 8 p.m. we didn't really have time to do anything except go straight to Uppsala and just sit down at the prepared meal. And since I have great friends they just got it all done and we had the greatest of evening and night...
The dinner was prepared immaculately and was insanely tasty. Obviously we had a five course meal - it was after all New Years. K2 and K3, Berget and A2 did such an awesome job - Andy and I were really impressed.
First we were given champagne and an amuse-bouche in the form of crostini with tapenade. Unfortunely I was still really stressed about the whole day so I forgot to take a picture.
Lovely set table for us just to sit down at and enjoy ourselves.
The second course was a lovely delicate cheese basket with seasonal products, maché salad with a balsamic dressing. Included salmon, prawns, mushrooms, Galia melon, grapes and prosciutti. To drink we had a dry white wine.
The third and main course was a pan seared rosemary scented lamb sirloin with a caramelized red wine reduction. Served with a potato and other root vegetable cake with Västerbotten cheese (a sharp Swedish cheese) and haricots verts. To drink a very good red wine - perfect together with the food.
The fourth course was a cheese and cracker extravaganza. K3 had bought some amazing cheese in Umeå, probably the biggest pieces of Gorgonzola and Chévre cheese I've ever seen. And the taste was to DIE for.
After dinner we moved into the living room and waited for the clock to strike twelve. Although since we were so late it really wasn't a very long time. During the wait we did break the gingerbread house and laughed lots.
Just before the strike of twelve we went outside with our champagne glasses held high. We realized that it had continued to snow and it was an insane amount of snow. But we did watch the fireworks and cheered in the new year together...
After toasting in the New Year we went inside and enjoyed having our tummies filled with beautiful food and the joy of being with friends.
A2 asked us all which cat was our favorite cat in hat - and miraculously we all chose a different cat in hat =) I guess this is going to be one of those things, that you had to be there to understand =)
Then we played a game - given to K2 during our Christmas get together.
Our last course was a Moccasemifreddo - my recipe but since I was late it was made by the others. It was really appreciated and as you can see I forgot to take a picture prior to eating =)
It was a night filled with fun and laughter - as it usually is when we get together with friends.
At around 3.23 a.m we were sitting in our car and getting ready to go home. It was going to be a long ride home since it was late and it was about 24 hours ago we left the apartment in Dubai and we were both really tired and it was still snowing...
