look what i found

those i got in a 'give and take' market. this woman wanted to swap a bag of my freshly baked pastries with something of hers. i couldn't find anything of interest. but she insisted i'd take these glasses.

those are not so funny.

i found this pair on a queens day flea market in rotterdam

bought those for a few dollars by a street vendor in new york. goes well with the silly face.

i am feeling well again! i woke up this morning at 7.30 (!!), and since then i managed to clean my house, hang a few humble christmas decorations, shake my carpets, fetch the laundry, visit 'pappersinsamlingen', buy all the necessary ingredients for lussebullar, take stupid pictures of sunglasses and dance around my living room.
now, i am planning to sew a little wallet for a friend. and eat some crackers with marmalade.

i simply love you

oy, it was a hard day, working with the leftovers of my little stomach drama. i was extremely exhausted and without energy, that i fell asleep a few times during rehearsal.

i was so happy to arrive home where bones was waiting and he treated me with an hour of cuddling in bed. this dog is no doubt one of the best things in life!

wipe out

oh, i have been puking my guts out the last 24 hours. how i hate to puke! i think i might have gotten food poisoned. to perform while running forward and back to the toilet is not to recommend. a few more hours and then weekend...
stay in there food!

yesterday and the day before

biking next to the meron mountain.

i made last minute, colorful chocolate balls for oz's birthday

and boiled glögg on a real fire

i love fennel with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

this little one we tried to save by finding her a warm spot and giving her some water to drink. but she still died. it was a little bit sad.

catch me

and now

after leftover soup, together with pasta, butter, ketchup and veggie steaks (sometimes i can die for such unsophisticated food)
i am making homemade glögg which will go with the movie.
i am a moody cow tonight.

goodnight

cabin fever

today is the perfect day to wear a kimono and to enjoy a little japanese tea *read coffee* party

why to spend a fortune on organic deodorants that hardly do the job, when baking soda is the shit?? it is worth trying!

something going on in the backyard? (this was my lucia outfit. white! with the exception of a few lost butterflies)

this might look scary, but it is my very tasty borsjtj soup.


today, i am in desperate need of a little adventure. i can't stay at home one more day. i am loosing track of time, pulling my hair, scratching my belly button.

wish me luck!

värsta lusseludret (ett inlägg för svenskar)

jag vet inte varför, men lucia gör mig otroligt nostalgisk. mer än någon annan högtid.
(eller ljuger jag nu?)

inte en lussekatt i sikte. dessutom glömde jag att köpa rött vin för hemmagjord glögg.
det ligger en liten bortglömd pepparkaka i min kakburk.
men, jag väcktes med lucia musik i telefonluren, 'live' från svealand...
och jag bakade geggiga choklad tryfflar igår, med hjälp utav fina ekobloggen

och det är inte försent att lifta till den stora staden, ta en minibuss till haifa, ännu en till tel aviv, och därefter den tredje till jerusalem för att leta rätt på svenska församlingen och deras lucia firande. men det låter väl lite väl frälst?

nåväl, nån gammal vit särk ska jag väl i alla fall kunna leta fram.

lussepussar
från lusseludret

the traces of my breakfast. i thought the milk bubbles reminded me of frost on the window, it will be my substitute for snow.
and also my sister had a moment of coffee perversion this morning.

(!i think i figured out how to make the pics wider!)

ay, i am such a weekend junkie!

mrs, brown and her gifts

such lovely gifts from sinterklaas! the wonders of rotterdam-tea ,a book, dried, organic mushrooms,(nope, not the magic kinds) a little candle and a christmas star!

thank you, mooie vrouw...

weekend officially started

i am back in my bed. after a gurgle of salt water. a cold is coming along. i can feel it. but hey, i'll beat you before you beat me!!!
it was a hard week, phew....now, i am treating myself to some of my favorite blogs, a little movie about DNA (man, i forgot probably 90% of what i was taught in school), and listening to the wind before going to sleep.


sweetest dreams

victory

i think the potassium is working! i can handle my period much better these last two times. another hot tip, is to massage above the achilles, when there is wave of pain. this helps instantly.

still, two morning performances in this condition wasn't easy.

i deserve to eat a lot of chocolate now.

a few nights ago, brushing my teeth and listening to music

just out of bed. that is why i can't make sharp pictures.

my hair looks like horsehair in macro

obsessed about rain. can we have some more, please?

sweethearts in the bus

i love yukos outfit!

hm, which side of the table is mine???

grrrrr

one more time have i deleted all the contents of my ipod, just cause i can't seem to figure itunes out.

i guess i will be reading all the way to beer sheva.

perception is reality

kitchen news

it started with me longing for miso soup.


and became an even of D I Y sushi! yuko is cutting the nori

everybody could make use of knowing how to cook a middle-eastern kinda omelet, called shakshuka. chop chop chop onion, garlic, spicy pepper, bell peppers, tomatoes. fry it together until it becomes a thick sauce. add salt and such to taste. in the end, crack as many eggs as pleased into the sauce and let them boil until done. eat with or without bread.
in this one below all the ingredients are organic!

and no, these radishes are NOT gene-manipulated...

findus and bones, you are missing!

but rivka is also great to have around, even though she farts alot... (gosh, stinky!)

lady marmalade and her lucky day

it was my lucky day today, not only did i get my favorite paper and an organic papaya for free, we also managed to get from here to there, only by hitchhiking, and walking some between rocks and olive trees...

in great company with lotem with the very blue eyes

'i will wait for you were you left me'

i bought two of these plates in the second hand.

and two pillow covers that match with my oranges...

now, i am making chocolate mousse. after that i will cook some miso soup, oh how much i've longed for miso soup. and i plucked some bitter oranges from a tree before, that will hopefully become just as good marmalade as a two years ago when we last tried.

T-G-I-F!

i put the alarm, even though it is weekend, cause i am going for a little adventure.

me and a friend are going to hitchhike to the rose village (direct translation, how romantic) and visit their second hand store. after that, we will have a little friday breakfast and then i will buy a few essentials in their organic store.

and then im planning to bake and do house chords, like i enjoy to do...while taking care of rivka, who is a sweet dog with different colored eyes.

cause later, we are having a sweet evening at itzik's. everyone is supposed to make something sweet and bring.

mhm. sounds like a nice day.

what are your plans?

quote of the day

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

-Buddha

and life goes on

i got a package...

...with a christmas jar filled with cookies...

...and a chocolate calendar that plays music..

... plus swedish licorice and a sweet plate. thank you pixie!

tasting organic spinach

i made a 'julkrans', it smells very good

in the middle, i put a picture of jerusalem covered in snow, that i found in a second hand store

and of course, the easiest christmas decoration ever made.
