Seriously people, I am a lucky woman. I’m not rich, nor do I have a perfect life – but I have seriously magical friends. The kind of people you want to be with, always. Family. ❤️ Some have been with me for the longest of times, some are newer. But one thing is certain – […]

Cognac, as in the root. And a little something called the end of an era.
How can I explain this without sounding like a crazy person? You know the feeling you get when you twirl spaghetti around your fork until it forms this perfect little pasta lump.. you bring the fork to your mouth and enjoy a mouthful of al dente cooked spaghetti smoothed in (at least for my liking) […]
Summer with a twist of tonic and the key to eternal youth.
Stockholm is on its best behaviour at the moment. A bit too hot for my liking (if you’re stuck in town) but it’s all about making the most of the summer nights as well as being so close to friends and family again ❤️ So last night was girls night with my main squeeze, the […]
An evening in the presence of rockstars and perfection on a plate. Or two.
That’s how I would describe last nights Chefs Table with Desireé Jaks and her colleagues at Agrikultur. This is the place where the food is in focus, not the chefs. And you can clearly tell that they not only respect the process, from farmer to plate by supporting small farmers, but that they truly want […]
I’m a stress eating candy snatcher if you ask my daughter.
Cause you see if I’m stressed, I’ll eat. I kind of wish I was one of those who “forgot” to eat when they were under stress but no, I’m the opposite. Come to think about it I’m not sure if there’s anytime I would “forget” to eat. I’m a food lover, a dessert lover, a […]
I’ve lost my mojo.
And I can’t seem to find it again. I haven’t written in over a week which is not a good sign. I’ve simply lost my mojo, my inspiration and hence the plot. So I’m looking for inspiration where I can find it, whether it’s at the spring festival at my daughters school…(Come on, it does […]
To friends and foes near or far, wherever in the world you are…
… a very Merry Christmas. ❤️ Truth be told I did not wake up in a Christmas mood. The sun outside and the humidity that hit you when you exited the bedroom this morning in order to see if Santa has swung by the balcony during the night didn’t help. He had though. Swung by […]
Me, my Kenwood and I
I got a present yesterday. My early Christmas gift.. It’s something I’ve wanted since last Christmas when I was standing kneading a dough by hand as my Kitchen Aid couldn’t muster the heavy dough. I got a Kenwood. 😍Hello puppy and welcome to the family. We’ve been longing for you…. or rather I have! We […]
24 years later in a town called Beijing…
…history will be made! Metallica’s one of my absolute favourite rock bands and they’re coming to town for a concert – apparently first time they visit Beijing!Last time I saw them live was at Stockholm Stadium in 1993..! (Yes, do please start your age guessing game… 😉) Ooh, Lars Ulrich.. I had such a crush […]
Now this is the season….
… for moisturisers, nasal oils and humidifiers galore. This is when stores all across Beijing sell out on anything and everything that can hydrate you in any way possible. It’s winter in Beijing, it’s the beginning of the dry season… So I’ve stocked up (a girl’s gotta be prepared). Moisturisers, lip balms (en masse), nasal […]
