“Thai” Chicken Pizza
In some ways, this pizza is deceptive. The picture looks about the same as the pizza did. Not very attractive. Oh, but the taste… It is pure deliciousness from the first bite. There might have been leftovers for the next day (since I can’t eat a whole of these pizzas by myself at one time),… Continue reading “Thai” Chicken Pizza
Broccoli & cheddar soup
So, again, the snow is falling outside. Snow. Snow. Snow. It means that it is a pretty good time for making this creamy, cheesy, warm soup. Plus, there is broccoli in it – so despite the cheese, not totally unhealthy. I rummaged through some old bookmarks, and found this version from the Pioneer Woman. Her… Continue reading Broccoli & cheddar soup
January recipe – BBC GoodFood calendar
With the December issue of BBC GoodFood came their calendar for 2014 as well. It’s a nice enough basic calendar, with one thing that elevates it – it has amazing pictures, and one recipe per month. For January the recipe was Kale and Chorizo hash. With a fried egg on top. Personally, I don’t care for… Continue reading January recipe – BBC GoodFood calendar

Last week, I talked about how the wearer of the bunads tend… Continue reading Mette-Marit’s Jelsa bunad
Lemon & Poppyseed Muffin
Sometimes, baking means accepting failures. And then there is the option of what to do with said failures. I was going to make these muffins from Passion 4 Baking: Starbucks Skinny Lemon & Poppyseed Muffin. But something went wrong. I either filled them with too little dough, used the wrong sort of baking powder, or… Continue reading Lemon & Poppyseed Muffin
The Ski Museum
On Saturday, when the majority of people on the Frognerseteren metro-line were heading up to ski, I was heading up for the Ski Museum. If I had been a bit smarter about this – I would have realized that the Ski Museum is really a better place to visit if a) you have your own… Continue reading The Ski Museum
Happy 10th birthday Ingrid Alexandra
It is kind of difficult to believe that Princess Ingrid Alexandra is turning 10 this year. I remember when she was born – I was studying history at the time – and I had a lecture I had to be at… and got up to the university and back from the lecture just in time… Continue reading Happy 10th birthday Ingrid Alexandra
The Telemark bunad
In theory, to wear a Norwegian national costume, (a bunad), you should have some relationship with the place the bunad comes from. Either with an ancestor from the area or living in the area yourself. Or sometimes, gifting to a royal, it is good PR when the royal is photographed in it. “The red jacket… Continue reading The Telemark bunad
