An evening with beautiful light

Några kvällsbilder från en Geocaching-runda i Norrköping i maj. Det var en otroligt vacker kväll med ett vackert ljus. Jag älskar kvällsljuset...

New book


Update: Not at all my type of book - I'm a mystery/Coper/Crime-type-of-gal - so I found another book to read, but more on that later.

Rulle's 50th Birthday Party

I hope my Uncle Rulle had a really nice time at his Birthday party. I know that he previously didn't want to celebrate but since we had somewhat of a surprise party for him and inviting all of his friends - I think he had a great time. Since I usually don't put out any pictures of my family or friends, for privacy reasons, I'll be showing you the enormous buffé table we cooked up.

When the guests arrived we served amuse-bouche with Champagne, Piper-Heidsleck to be exact.

The amuse-bouche were new potatoes with Swedish herring and sour cream and chives as well as small crackers with black olive tapenade as well as freshly baked rolls (baked by my aunt Bibbi).
The buffé table in all it's glory =)
I made a couple of savory pies - this one was a shrimp and dill pie.
Mom made lots of Egyptian specialities since my uncle loves Egyptian food. These are "betingan-bil-tamatem" or fried eggplant with a tomato salsa.
Saffron pasta salad with kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes and lots of other goodies, made by Bibbi.
My second pie with mushrooms.
A potato salad with walnuts and other goodies, make by Bibbi.
My third pie - a broccoli and blue cheese pie.
Bibbi baked several filled bread with lots of goodies such as sun dried tomatoes, olives and feta cheese and one with pesto.
My moms tahina - another Egyptian side dish made from sesame seeds.
Mom's Babaganough - an eggplant and tahina side dish.
Mom's bell pepper, sunflower seeds and olive side dish.
Mom's Chick peas and cumin side dish.
Grilled chicken fillets - grilled by my Uncle Ulf and Dad.
Grilled lamb fillets and corn on the cob.
The BBQs and the BBQ-masters
A green salad.

And then came the deserts. Fruits - Swedish strawberries, pine apple, grapes and kiwi.
Desert cheeses with crackers.
Bibbi's beautiful Chocolate Cake with a chocolate truffle.
I missed photographing my Strawberry mousse cake - unfortunetly - but it wasn't too pretty but it tasted good.

Mom's nuts and coconut cake.
Mom's Cinnamon and Sour Cream cake.

I probably missed to photograph a couple of more things. A just have to tell you though, that the food was amazing and everyone there was stuffed to the limit and then some. The food was brilliant as always! My family has two very amazing cooks - my aunt Bibbi and my Mom - my grandmother was also brilliant in the kitchen but unfortunetly she passed away some 12 years ago. Thank you Bibbi and Mom, as well as the brilliant BBQ-masters Ulf and Dad for all the help with the food =) 

It was really a great party and I hope the Birthday boy was pleased! Thank you all who came to help us celebrate him and I hope you all had a great time!

@ Stallarholmen

Visiting my second cousin Fia and Tobbe, and their beatuful twin daughters Ella and Matilda. Dinner with a amazing view over Mälaren. A nice evening awaiting...

Ranging

En liten rolig bild från när vi var på skjutbanan. Adde ligger och testar sin 22:a och jag leker med kameran. Tyckte att det blev en rätt roligt vinkling på fotot...Eller vad tycker ni?



A fun picture from when we were at the gun range. Andy is testing out his 22, and I'm playing with the camera. I like the fact that you kind of don't see what I'm actually focusing on, it's kind of a side note... Or what do you think?

Vita Gåvor Pyssel/Handarbete

Jag fick ett otroligt vackert armband i den senaste omgången av Vita Gåvor från snällaste Fina Elina. Det passade mig perfekt, skiftande i rosa färger och söta små berlocker. Sånt som Elina blev inspirerad av från min blogg. Det finns en gaffel, kniv och sked, en tekanna, en kaffekopp, en karamell och ett körsbär. Bilderna gör den verkligen inte rättvisa och jag skulle vilja fota berlockerna lite bättre, så det kommer mer bilder senare...




Tack så hemskt mycket snällaste Elina, det passade mig utmärkt!!!



My Vita Gåvor swap gift came a while back and this is it. It's a really lovely pink bracelet with lots of really adorable charms. Thank you so much Elina, it fit me perfectly.

Memorial pictures

Efter begravningen som vi var på i maj, så var det minnestund Torpa Pensionat. Jag hade tidigare inte varit där och jag tycker att det var en fantastisk mysig plats att ha en minnestund på. Det ligger otroligt vackert och stillsamt och det var en fridfull plats att minnas en underbar kvinna.
















Bilderna är tagna med min iPhone och lite snabbt, så vissa av bilderna är inte av någon vidare kvalitet. Men det får ni leva med - det känns inte helt ok att ha med sig systemkameran på minnestunder.

The memorial for Aina was at Torpa Pensionat and it is a really nice an serine spot to gather and say good bye to a lovely woman. Pictures are taken with my iPhone - the picture quality therefor varies.
