Boeuf Bourguignon

We started our herb garden today (no not herb, these are all very legal, and I've never seen anyone smoke parsley), or me and Longhaired Roomie did anyway. Roomie was out shopping, although she stayed strong and refrained from purchasing anything, which is more than you could say about me. I went to the supermarket to get breakfast cereals, and when I checked out, I had around ten items in the basket. 

A certain amount of items did join because I figured i might as well start baking some Runeberg tarts now, to have as snack when watching Melodifestivalen, Sweden's auditions for the Eurovision Song Contest. Should be quite a spectacle, it always is, let's hope it's triple the entertainment now that they're hosts this year. Another reason for baking Runeberg tarts would be to give them to some people at school, as they've given us marmalade.

This would have to be the touristiest I've been in London in ages, I've never had the chance to climb the Trafalgar lions (they're huge and slippery, so I was a wimp and just climbed up on its pedestal).

 The Pose

 Made friends in the Rainforest Café shop.

 Let us not forget the post title, a little something me and Roomie whipped together yesterday:

 

 

*drool*

I happened to stumble upon a reduced piece of beef brisket. Enter red wine, garlic and other delicious stuff, and you have a classic from England's southernly neighbours, le frogs.

 

Spring Is Here

Mmmmmmmm!

Mmm-m-m-mmmmmm!

Flapjack!

Made flapjacks today. The recipe said to use brown sugar and golden syrup. We used white sugar and black treacle. They still taste great though.

It was such a beautiful day out there today! Felt as if it was around 20 degrees in the sun. We've heard that a new supermarket will open rather close to our place in April if I recall correctly. Me and Roomie went snooping around and found it! It's rather close, so it will eventually become the cheapest supermarket close to our home. We won't even have to make that much of a detour when walking home from school, for example. There is one that's right on our way home from school, but it's a little bit more expensive than the others, except when it comes to vegetables, I think. So yeah, pretty excited about this, I love going to new supermarkets! I like shopping for food, except for the payment part, unless I get some cool coupons.

Cheesy

Oh wow, now our fridge is full! There's, like, three kinds of cheese. And we even have bisquits now! :D Oh joy, oh happiness! Thank you, Roomie's Mother. Or Roomom.


Now another guest came, it's Finnish Friend, or FFriend, so I think it's probably more polite to go downstairs and socialize now.


We also have wine. Just because we needed that for the Yakitori marinade, of course.

Story Of My Pie

We had some leftover vanilla cream from the afternoon tea a week ago, so I and my fellow roomie embarked on a noble quest to eat it.

And the only proper way of eating vanilla cream is to eat it with pie.

It was jolly good.

*snivel*

Yup. Most definitely ill. But, I bought rosehip tea, and guess what? I found the frozen berries, but it's no wonder I didn't see them, since I wasn't expecting them to be tucked away between the ice cream and the frozen desserts. It's especially hard to find them when the packagings for raspberry ice cream, frozen raspberries and raspberry cake-things are almost identical. I also went to a healt check today, everythings fine with me.

Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow, we're expecting friends from London over for dinner.
