Pinnekjøttlag & Blinged-Up Nike Shoes

Christmas is over and here's a few photos from the past week.

I made several batches of

vegetable soup

We went to my best friend Anette's house for pinnekjøttlag - "stick meat"; salted and dried lamb ribs that are steam boiled over birch sticks in a pot, and served with potatoes, mashed rutabaga, sauerkraut, sausage, beer and aquavit.

We played this fun party game where everyone attending the party had brought a gift each - everyone was supposed to bring something they'd received for Christmas and didn't like.

Then, using two dices, all of the gifts were divided among the participants, and then by a certain time we had to battle for the gifts still using the dices and set numbers, and if you had any gifts when the time ran out, they were yours!

A really funny game. Getting so competitive over stuff that you knew were other people's "trash".

Bah, makes us sound so ungrateful, haha!

Last week my dad also came over together with my sister and her boyfriend.

We had the traditional Christmas roasted pork ribs, again.

I made carrot cake!
