The whole point of making ice cream at home, to me, is to make flavours that you won’t necessarily find easily in stores. This honey and almond ice cream is one of those. I think that the flavour of this really depend on which type of honey you use. My selection was a mild honey… Continue reading Honey and almond ice cream

Mette-Marit on the cover of Norwegian Elle
Crown Princess Mette-Marit is the cover girl on the September issue of Norwegian Elle. They made a fairly big deal that the coverage was to honour the Crown Princess on her 40th birthday. Inside the magazine there were two photos from an earlier photo session that had been reserved especially for the Elle issue. It had… Continue reading Mette-Marit on the cover of Norwegian Elle
Green tea ice cream
This is really a mixture of several different ice creams. I started with this tea ice cream recipe from Norwegian Klikk.no, then I spotted Mac & Cheese’s Earl Grey tea ice cream recipe. And since I was going with green tea, I also found this one by Emeril Lagasse. All of which inspired and made… Continue reading Green tea ice cream

The three year old is desperate for some day-time activities. With the ice cream kick I’ve been on lately, I suggested bringing some over to… Continue reading Vanilla coconut ice cream
Scandinavian cooking: Wales kringle
Oddly enough named Waleskringle – I have no idea where the name comes from. If I were to hazard a guess, as it is an old Danish dessert, I would guess that it might have been named when Princess Alexandra of Denmark married the Prince of Wales, although one dictionary say that it is an… Continue reading Scandinavian cooking: Wales kringle
Prince George
He’s now more than a week old, Prince George of Cambridge. He’s also the most talked about baby globally for quite some time. Frankly, I haven’t bothered posting about him before, because it seemed like there was a huge overload of it. I especially liked the Huffington Post’s spoof headline: Woman gives birth to baby.… Continue reading Prince George
The succession to the Belgian throne (A 100 things #16)
Now that we’ve had a Belgian abdication, and a new King of the Belgians, it is time to look at the Belgian line of succession. Unlike in the Netherlands, the line of succession does not change overly much when the monarch ascends to the throne – everybody else just takes one jump ahead in the… Continue reading The succession to the Belgian throne (A 100 things #16)
