Food is Fun

Our family likes to eat. We eat a lot and always.

We also like to make it nice and special once in a while, set the table a bit nicer and make the dinner a family event, even though there is only the four of us and no guests.
I personally hate pots and frying pans on the table, so much actually, that  it has become a joke in this family.  In my world, we have a dishwasher, so it makes no difference to make things look nicer.

This year we decided to eat "scandinavian" on New Years Eve, simply because we all missed it :) 

Here are some images and feelings of our last night of 2010.

Dude with a new hairdo

 Crayfish-paste, we didnt have all the ingredients for proper Toast Skagen, so we improvised.

Salmon on rye-bread is always a hit in this family.

 I am a really super lousy baker. I never bake anything,. This is my version of a  ready made frozen strawberry cheesecake.

My grandmas old tableware set that I really love. Rörstrand.

 we did have a bottle of real snaps, but did not even open it :) so still here, waiting for guests and better parties.

It was a long wait till midnight. Luckily there are always Legos.

MIDNIGHT! Bring it on Spain!

Feliz Año Nuevo

In Spain the change of the year is celebrated with Cava and Grapes.. 12 grapes, 1 for each month for luck and good harvest. Grapes are flushed away with Cava.. You eat them at midnight, and not just eat.. the story says you should feed all the grapes one by one to your loved one. How romantic is that!

....with some candles of course.  Candles make the world a better place.

Lets all make 2011 A Fabulous Year!
