Serious Cookin'

Last weekend I went to visit my best friend, Anette.

Ages ago she and her boyfriend bought a new apartment and moved far, far away, to East Jesus Nowhere, also known as Larvik. 

Well, it's not exactly a deserted place, however it is pretty far away: two hours by train from Oslo. So, I haven't been. (Besides, train tickets are hella expensive).

Anette got some good news in the mail

that day

Officially STI-free.

(Just kidding) 

 At Anette's house there's cats.

They are pretty arrogant, commonly explained as "social anxiety".

They are vegetarians

Far away in the distance..

.. a famous Norwegian spa called "Farris bad"

- I really want to go there! 

 Caramelizing shallots..

 .. and boiling them in red wine

 Salt-baked potatoes

Pinnekjøttlag & Blinged-Up Nike Shoes

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

Chocolate-covered balls of marzipan

In between Christmas-binging

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.

Linn, who's just gotten back

from a semester studying in

Ghana

Anette and Thomas' two kids

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!

Linn won, but then gave to me!

I even wore it on new years eve!

One of the cats suffer from

anxiety 

- can you tell?

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

Christer and Veronika

We had the traditional Christmas roasted pork ribs, again.

I made carrot cake!

Welcome, Anette

The other day Anette arrived.


Jippie.


She bought a new camera.


It apparently can take the weight of an elephant, take photos of the titanic under water and be used as an ice pick in Antartica.


I'm very impressed.

In the honor of Anette's arrival we binged.

Jugs!

Some of my nail polish stash

Anette acting all ladylike
Totally out of character

Yesterday I got to see a ladyboy's man made snatch up close.

That was interesting.



Anyway, we're hittin' the road tomorrow, heading for Sri Saket.

See you later!
