Strendur, Faroe Islands

>
It's now two years ago, that Kristjan and I purchased a 45kvm hut in Kristjans home village. We spent a week there this summer and a a jolly old good time. List of things I like about the hut:
the view (overlooking Skálafjørð)
the company (my lovely daughter and husband)
the size (45kvm is so doable)
the bathtub (pictures to come...)
did I mention the good company!?

This summer thus far

We're enjoying the danish summer and for the most part hanging out at home until the worst heat and sunbeams have past. We vent to Tivoli two days in a row, visiting the Rasmus Klump playground and not spending a single dime the first day, but we caved an ice cream to share on the second day. I'm trying to hold back on the little I have, now attending school and no work...

Now that's a shade!

Would die for a Ana Kras handmade lamp shade. They are so beautiful and classic. No two are the same, but all charming.

easy peasy green cake

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

summertime

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)
