What are you doing this evening?

Tonight, after my husband comes back from work we’re having a big bowl of Vietnamese soup.

Then we’ll catch up after our day & I’ll watch my favorite show at the moment.

My sweet husband will go down & play his guitar for a little decompression after the work day.

He’ll come up around bedtime & take the dog out & we’ll go to bed.

What’s your favorite recipe?

It’s Swedish & I stress baked quite a few during the pandemic. The best part is to make it in an iron pan you put in the oven. I know the ingredients by heart & bake by feel.

Best eaten right from the oven. The whole house smells of cardamom. It’s like comfort food as brownies but just different.

My Mom is Swedish & she used to bake it on the weekends when I was a kid. The dough is delicate so over mixing isn’t a good idea as you mix out all the air for the cake.

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

In Norway where I live the most over used word is “serr.” Because saying the word serious is too hard & takes too long to say out loud.

When I first started hearing it I didn’t understand why it had been shortened? Why shorten such a basic word.

I’ve used serr on a few occasions but find it ridiculous & weird. I’m in my 50’s now & don’t use very many slang words as I feel they make you look stupid. Something I’ve never been.
