I’m still on following Regina Leeds’ book – last week, the task was to think about goals: what do I want to spend my time doing. This week, the topic is creating routines, and schedules. I’m really bad when it comes to setting routines. (Partly why I am doing this, obviously). A lot of the… Continue reading Creating routines and schedules

The power of the internet, or quick solutions when cooking
The problem with getting recipes from the Internet is that there will usually be some part of it that is impossible to get, or to understand. For those of us who don’t get our butter in sticks… recipes that feature that measurement can be incomprehensible. That is, until you find a butter converter.

New Year’s Eve Menu
Some people eat the same thing each New Year’s Eve. My parents, for example, have landed on the tradition of having tacos (every guest is responsible for one part), whereas others go for turkey or other Norwegian traditions that they didn’t eat on Christmas Eve.
