Søndagens bagværk / The Berthelsen backery this Sunday

Dagen startede grå og regnfuld, så jeg synes det var lidt svært at komme i gang; MEN naturligvis skulle der da bages idag.


It was a grey and rainful day today, but of course I had to bake !!


I baked two bread - oh, they are good when the are still a little warm and then with a slice of good cheese on..uhmmmm




Så blev der bagt småkager - desværre tror jeg de blev så hvinende søde, at jeg ikke skal have nogen af dem - men de bliver sikkert spist alligevel : -)


Then I made some cookies - but I am afraid they turned out to sweet for me - but I'm sure that someone will eat them :-)

Jeg har bagt rødbeder - så nu er de klar til at blive lavet til salat i løbet af ugen - nemt og dejligt.

I baked beetroots - this way I have them ready for any salad I want to make during the week, today we had them with, apple, raisin and almonds - and of course a with good oil on top.

- og endelig fik jeg omsider syet denne lille nissemus færdig ! Nogen vil jeg sige, at jeg er i god tid, men sådan froholder det sig desværre ikke.....jeg er langt bagud !!

- and finally I finished this little Christmas decoration. Should have finished it a long time ago, but here it is !

Week end i Sverige

Vi er netop kommet hjem efter en dejlig week end i Sverige. Selvom foråret er lige rundt om hjørnet, var det koldt - men med masser af sol. Dejligt.


We have just arrived home after a wonderful week end in Sweden - cold, but lots of sun. Great





Vi gik den sædvanlige tur ned til en lille bæk - se hvor smukt isen har dekoreret bredden...


We went for a walk down to the little creek - look how beautiful the ice decoration is.....

Hjemmebag søndag / homemade bread

The girls just left - and what to do for me then....this is what I did - one cake and two types of bread !!!

Week end with the girls

I have had a busy and very nice week end. Both granddaughters have been here, and we have been busy painting and sewing.


We made this pillow with a picture of both of them.







Several boxes and containers were painted


- and as You can see, they both worked hard and very concentrated.

This shows all the stuff we needed, before we started !

Saturday evening Granny was very tired - and fell a sleep at 8 o'clcok !! - but we had a great day :-)

Fantastisk solskin

Vejret er fuldstændig fantastisk i dag ! Jeg har for første gang i år siddet på havebænken og spist frokost og læst ! Jeg er kun med på billedet som en skygge - men jeg sad der et øjeblik før billedet blev taget .-)





The sun is so nice today ! For the first time this year I have been sitting in the garden - had my lunch and was reading a little. You only see me as a shadow, but I was sitting there just seconds before the picture was taken :-)

Lækker salat

Jeg er blevet rigtig glad for at lave mad - som tidligere nævnt er bogen " Køkkenrevolution på høje hæle " er stor inspirationskilde. Hvad med denne salat - er det ikke bare lækkert ??
bagte rødbeder, æbler, kapers, hvidløg og krydderier - det smager SÅ godt !!


I have become very fond of cooking. Doesn't this salad look good ?? It'd made with baked beetroot, apples, capers, garlic and different kinds of spices - it is SO good !!

Der er blevet syet lidt !!!

Jeg har fået syet lidt !! Blev træt af at gå rundt med en hvid sommer taske, og syede denne i stedet.

I made myself a new bag ! - Had a white summerpurse that I used everyday, but wanted something else - here it is !




Jeg har syet disse seks dækkeservietter til en ven, som fejrer sin 60 årsdag i dag. Farver / motiv valgt, så det kan passe til huset i Sverige. hvad skal man dog give folk der har alt ? :-))


I made these placemats as a present to a friend who is celebrating his 60 th birthday today. The colors are meant to fit the house in Sweden.
