A Taste of Spring

Thawing River.

Melting Snow.

Beaming Sun Shine.

Bright Blue Sky.

Feels like spring.

Sångbok Gasquen

February 18th was the night of the sångbok gasque. 

A night full of singing, drinking and eating.

  

The gang. Devon, Lilli, Liz and I.

Getting rowdy and the dinner is just beginning.

My dining companions.

Hey Liz!

Lina, our song leader.

Dinner is served:

Stuffed Portobello Mushroom with Hasselback Potatoes, Green Beans and Tomato Salad.

With a side of singing. 

Then there was some...

Fist Banging-

Napkin Wearing-

More napkin wearing-

then some napkin swinging-

 Then we had dessert.

Apple Pie with Vanilla Sauce.

Then after being wined and dined (and snapsed) things got a little bit more crazy.

Timothy. Giving me the wink because he knew what was coming next.

A choreographed song!

Everyone sang and danced along.

The night would not have been complete without standing on the chairs while singing and making a toast.

The dinner came to an end with one last song sung as we were heading for the doors.

Fika Prep

Preparing for my first weekend Fika was quite stressful but it was a great learning experience. I realized I baked way too much and put more time into baking then I needed to. 

After realizing this it was much easier to have some fun in the kitchen while preparing for this weekends fika!

...maybe too much fun??

NEJJJ!

In between picture taking some baking did happen. I promise.

Raspberry Bundt Cake!

Hard at work.

Oh Hej!

Wrapping up the cakes.

Then this happened...

 Lilli had a run-in with the oven.

 

 After chowing down on some of the best sourdough bread we decided it was time to leave the kitchen.

 

Easier said then done. 

Hejdå allihopa!!

We made a quick dash over to the freezer room to drop off the cakes before changing out of our cute uniforms and heading home.

Brrr.

It was all a cold, cold blur.

Helping me up the stairs. ha.

Trying to get the door open.

Freeze room?

Yup.

Hejdå VG. Vi ses.

peace out.
