As it is called in Swedish, pannbiff och potatismos (beef patties and mashed potato), is a meal that’s easy to prepare and serve on the table. When I make beef patties I’d always ask hubby to make mashed potato and the gravy. It goes perfect with cooked potatoes, too. When we were on a roadtrip [...]
Having a dose of Vitamin C in this season of cold and rain is important to combat or prevent colds. Although there are many sources of Vitamin C that we can take or eat I prefer the taste of freshly-squeezed orange juice. Hubby prefers orange juice than any other fruit juices and he’s more likely to [...]
I’ve been sick of colds since the beginning of this month. It’s unusual of me to get sick of colds at this time of year, when the temperature hasn’t even been down to less than 10°C. It’s still warm during the day but the winds and occasional rains are a plague in the morning. I [...]
It’s not that easy to pick your choice of meals when you are dining in a restaurant. I spotted this in the menu in a Chinese restaurant and thought I would try it. Squid in oyster sauce with some veggies. Lovely!
“Filipinized” – Such word is not found in the list of Mr. Webster or any dictionary, but I suddenly decided to use it as I believe that this is what vividly describes my ultimate wedding dream. Cocktail parties are not so common in the provincial areas of Philippines, but I, myself would like to have [...]

Quite a late post about the start of Advent observation here but it has just started and just one of the four candles has been lighted. This is one event in this country that I don’t want to miss. Each year I spend time preparing my place for Advent. My kitchen window will always look [...]
To be honest, I hadn’t eaten these small, bite-sized dessert until a few months ago when we entered our room at Sheraton Hotel in Stockholm. I didn’t even know it was called French Macarons. I learned the name on Pinterest when I saw some pinned photos which I thought kind of well-known to me. I thought they’re just plain cookies but when I [...]
Decorative Pumpkins for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner and some children can’t really wait to dress up scary. I always prepare goodies and candies just in case they come to ring the doorbell and rant “trick or treat?” in chorus. I’m not used to decorating my home for halloween but a tint of orange or yellow as a [...]
It’s my first time to join Vår Ruset yesterday at Slottsskogen (park). It’s a yearly race for women here in Sweden and Gothenburg had its turn yesterday. It happens in the month of May when Spring is at its best. All women at work or in different organizations are welcome to join. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a bit of luck [...]

We were instead told to have potluck, which sounded more or less pleasing to everyone. But it turned out to be a smorgasbord (smörgåsbord) of international food culture. From pasta to pirogue, spring rolls [...]

We’ve had to work for three days this week and yesterday, the final day, was a competency development at the Swedish National Museums of World Culture. The [...]
