Shooooes!

I’ve done it again. Some RIDICILOUSLY good shopping – seriously, 144 nok for these shoes?! I AM flabbergasted. That’s 24 dollars. Or 19 euros. Or 14 gbp.
I can keep converting it, but the fact is that they were so freakin cheap, there was nothing to do but to buy them. Wooh!

 

Really cheap and adorable espadrillos from asos.

Bread!

Something else new I tried out the other day was to make my own bread. I found the healthies recipe I could find.
It was probably the easiest and quickest thing I’ve ever baked in my life, so grateful for that! Next time I’ll try putting som goji berries in it.

 

The healthies bread in the world:

4 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 box of Crème Fraîche
3 tbsp sunflower
60 g bran
40 g linseeds
50 g sesame seeds
50 g sunflower seeds

Mix together the wet ingredients smoothly in one  bowl and the dry ones in another, except the baking soda. Mix everything together, and the baking soda in the end. Bake in the lowest part of the oven in 180 c for about 1 hour.

Jerk

The answer to “What’s for dinner tomorrow” was Jamaican Jerk Chicken (not that any of you where actually guessing).
We both love Caribbean food, so it was about time we tried out something at home.
The recipe was quite simple, but originally included 2 habaneros, which I luckily cut down to 1. Despite that, it was so hot we are still lying on the couch, gasping for air.
We should have had rice to it to cut off the pain, but I went to an introduction to Vipr (don’t EVER try that if you want to be functioning normal the next two days, it’s a horrible, HORRIBLE, work-out) and was barely standing up when I got home. So I just threw on salad, tomatoes, celery, blue cheese sauce and a sauce made from the remains of the marinade. It was quite amazing, but as I said, a little too hot, so I’ll be modyfying that til the next time.

Well – tomorrow is Norway’s big day, we’re going to a friend on a traditional champagne breakfast. I’m bringing a Swedish shrimpsalad to stay true to MY country, so I’ve got a 100 shrimps to peel. Better get to it..

Colorado Windbreaker

I had almost given up finding this jacket anywhere when it popped up at JD Sports. Well, maybe it didn’t pop up as much as I just found after scouring the web for it. But NOW! It’s on it’s way home to me. Happy girl.

I think my sports closet is complete now, so I’ve gotta lay down the shopping for a while. Next – summer clothes…

What’s for dinner tomorrow?

I’ve made preparations for dinner tomorrow. This is the first time I’m trying this particular marinade/sauce out, so I’m excited! Can you tell what it is? The answer will be revealed tomorrow.

Hint: one ingredient is missing, I’ve substituted it with honey.

Hint 2: It is NOT poop (though it looks like it on pictures) and it smells wonderful.

Yum

Now this is truly fast food!
I was on a late work out today and was starving when I got home, thus didn’t have the patience to cook anything. So I just sliced up some of the Salma salmon i had left, sliced cherry tomates, chèvre, poured soy sauce on the salmon and just HAPPENED to have a box of wakame salad at home (yes, they actually started selling this here, I’ve only seen it in one store so far but still – YEY Norway!) that went with it. Not a big portion, I know, but this late it’s OK. And it’s deeelicious. Love that wakame and salmon..
