Cold.

Pretty chilly here and even though I ‘m not that fond of cold weather I still have to admit that it is nice to walk on ground that isn’t muddy and as long as we have almost no wind it’s quite nice. Ok no wind means higher price on electricity but I guess that’s something we need to take wether we like it or not.

Nothing has happened here so I have very little to write about. We did have the first real snow this morning but it was so little that I only could see it lying on my entrance stairs. If I knew we won’t have any more I would even say that I liked it 🙂 🙂

I was planning on having a little nap every day now when I am at home but so far I’ve had none. The morning just flies by and when I think of having one it’s too late, at least if I want to have any more daylight hitting my eyes. The sun sets already at 3:43 pm now and it is a long time left until it turns again. I really should have been born so much further south where the sun stay up longer during winter and the temperatures never drops 🙂 Then again I would miss our summers here when it never gets especially dark, just a couple of hours in the middle of the night.

I made a mug cake today. I can’t remember if I ever have done that before. I wasn’t hungry but wanted something so I went out on the net to see what I could find. The recipe said to use cocoa but I put in a piece of mashed banana and some cinnamon instead and it turned out really yummy. I would have made one more if I hadn’t eaten my last banana 🙂 Well now I know what I can do if I feel that way again 🙂

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and I really wish I had made that mug cake now instead 🙂

Have a great day!

  1. Mug cakes and bread pudding seem to work well in the microwave. They say microwave French toast but it’s really bread pudding. I do put maple syrup on it though. Here in the US we put maple syrup on pancakes, waffles, French toast (pain perdu) and hot cereals.

    Keep warm!

    1. Hi Carol!

      We call French toast Fattiga riddare (poor knights in English 🙂 ) and to make them in a microwave sounds horrible 🙂 🙂 🙂

      Some of us have maple syrup on the pancakes but it’s almost as expensive as gold 🙂 🙂 so mostly we have jam of some kind and lots have whipped cream (and jam or anything else really sweet with the cream 🙂 )Something that has become really popular is to have pancake cake on birthdays (mostly younger people) lots of jam between each pancake and lots of whipped cream covering the cake and of course some kind of berries as decoration 🙂

    1. Hi Beatrice!

      Yes they are but of course cups work just as well but cup cakes are already taken as a name 🙂

      Oh I really don’t need to eat more sugary things so I think I’ll stick to one unless visitors are here 🙂
