Back in July, watching the television coverage from the Oslo bombings and the Utøya shootings. I was sitting in front of the television set the entire Saturday… and in the evening, I felt like I had to do something else. Being on the other side of the country, unable to help anyone on the Eastern… Continue reading Cinnamon and raisin bagels

Cinnamon rolls
I got this from Beantown Baker who remade a recipe from Pioneer Woman. I’ve adapted the recipe to metrics, and modified a bit as to what works for me. However, I do recommend taking a look at the other two to see what may or may work for you. I’ve made it twice, and the… Continue reading Cinnamon rolls
Chocolate Dump Cake
Every now and then, I need an easy thing to throw together for unexpected visitors. This time, it was a friend of mine who is getting her PHD in Vienna, who is home for a brief time this summer. I had been offered dinner at my parents before she was due to arrive, and so… Continue reading Chocolate Dump Cake
Chocolate Raspberry Tart
The picture is really not doing this tart justice. It tasted delicious, and as I said as I was making it – there are very few ways to make this go wrong.

This is the church where Crown Prince Frederik was christened, where Queen Margrethe was christened and where Margrethe and Prince Henrik were married. Due to the fact that the family had ties to the church, it was also believed that Christian would… Continue reading Baptism of the twins
Have you seen…
King Haakon VII’s ski jacket? It has been stolen from the ski museum in Oslo, straight in open daylight. It also turns out that the security cameras were switched off, both in the museum and outside in Holmenkollen ski arena.

Prince Henrik’s visit to the hospital
When the twins were born on January 8, Prince Joachim and Princess Marie were two of the people who didn’t visit them in the hospital. The court said that they were on a private holiday that had been planned well in advance, and Prince Joachim confirmed this. Billedbladet first stated that this holiday was in… Continue reading Prince Henrik’s visit to the hospital
