Took this picture one morning I couldn't/wouldn't get out of the bed. So the two of them decided to play me a 'rise and shine now!' song.

easy peasy green cake

>> torsdag den 16. maj 2013 – bon appetit, child-ish

This is one of the first cakes I learned how to make, as a young girl. It's a must for children's birthday parties and you can make it any colour you wish or no colour at all. It's basically a downgraded cheap mazarin cake without marzipan.

bake at 180 degrees celsius for 45 min.
Ingredients:
200 g suger
150 g butter
2 eggs
3 tbsp almond extract
1 tbsp green food colouring
150 g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 dl water

Method:
Beat the sugar and butter until a smooth paste. Add the eggs, one at a time and fully incorporate
before adding the next egg.
Pour in the almond extract and the green food colouring, mix well so all the batter is evenly coloured.
Fold in the flour, baking powder and water.
Pour the batter in to a buttered ring mold.

Frosting:
200 g icing suger
3 tbsp boiling water
3 tbsp coco powder

Method:
Mix all the ingredients and cover the cake when cooled.

We have had sunshine and happy days. Heaps of bicycling on the brand new tricycle and never ending trips
to the playground. Then a slight cold including hours watching Moomin and a green cake (pictures to come)

A weekend full of fun

Nikolina Flora and I have been home alone this weekend and had a great time. We had a playdate that ended in sticks'n'sushi and we ignored the bad weather on sunday and went for a walk in our umbrellas.

One trip and NO funeral

My beloved grandmother Jenny suffered a brain haemorrhage some 3 weeks ago. At one point, it did not look like she was going to make it. Billa Jenný and I rushed to the Faroe Islands to say our 'goodbyes'. But then grandmother Jenny started recovering and waking up. Such joy! So no funeral – only long uninterrupted visits to the hospital. She can only say a few words, but I really felt like we communicated well. Me with words and hand gestures. She with one syllable words and facial gestures.
There was also time to see my family. My cousin (on my mothers side) Jensia invited all the cousins with children to a out of this world scrumptious breakfast. My cousins (on my fathers side) almost all went out twice. So good to talk and remember good old days at grandmother Jennys house. The weather was lovely. It rained twice in my ten day stay - almost unbelievable!

How GREAT a feeling it was, when Billa Jenný woke me and Nikolina Flora (Kristjan was early off to work) shouting FOUR MORE YEARS! Congratulations United States of America

much going on!

I'm a busy bee these days with at times a very hectic school schedule and being the mother I want to be. Nikolina Flora and I went on a trip to Berlin two weeks ago and our cottage is coming along rapidly. I promise to show you pictures later this week. I leave you with a taste of what I'm (I myself do not know) doing at school.

Lucy McRae talked at this years OFFF festival. She calls her work »body-architecture«
I kinda got what she meant by that, and enjoyed the spectacular images.
