Paris

I went to Paris two weeks ago, here's what happened:

Soundtrack 1: Balmorhea – Dream Of Thaw

Soundtrack 2: Erland And The Carnival – Love Is A Killing Thing

we stayed in Pigalle, that's the red light district for those who didn't know

Pigalle is quite near Montmartre where Sacre Coeur is

we ate a lot of good food

Blueberry is the word

Nå er vi helt i begynnelsen av blåbærsesongen, i allefall på disse breddegrader, og jeg har allerede plukket en hel kopp full!

The blueberries are ripe and I have already picked a whole cup full! Bliss!

Geraniums in the window.


St.Hans. How cool is the low-hanging fog in the mountains??


The light in this one is so enchanting, don't you think?


And last, a cute lamb!

Frokostmuffins

For en uke siden lagde jeg noe som heter Frokostmuffins! De var kjempegode, og derfor tenkte jeg å dele oppskriften med dere.

Oppskriften fant jeg i en bok som heter Tradisjonelt som er skrevet av Borghild Fiskå og Ruth-Hege Holst, utgitt av Gyldendal.

Ingredienser til 8 store muffins eller 12 små:

5 dl hvetemel

1/2 ts malt kanel

2 ts bakepulver

1 dl havregryn eller frokostblanding

1/2 dl sukker, helst demerara

50 g usaltet smør

1/2 dl honning

3 egg

2 1/2 dl melk

1 liten gulrot

revet skall av 1 sitron, bare det gule

1 dl rosiner eller annen tørket frukt
havregryn til pynt

Sikt hvetemel, kanel og bakepulver i en bolle. Tilsett havregryn eller frokostblanding samt sukker. Smelt smør og honning i en kjele. Avkjøl. Visp egg og melk lett sammen. Skrell og riv gulroten fint. Ha alt i bollen sammen med revet sitronskall og rosiner eller annen tørket frukt. Rør til alt er godt blandet. Pensle muffinsformene med smør og dryss i hvetemel. Fordel røren jevnt i muffinsformene. Dryss havregryn på toppen. Stek muffinsene ved 180 grader celcius i ca 15 minutter. Avkjøl muffinsene i formene et par minutter før de vendes ut. Avkjøl på rist.

Server muffinsene nystekte.

Delicious, or what? : )

I made something called Breakfast muffins/cupcakes a week ago and here you can see the result. They tastes so good and I am definitely going to make them again sometime. Unfortunately I don't trust my skills as a recipe-translator just yet, so for you English readers, it will only be the pictures. But I will post some recipes in English some time soon.

All of my exams are over, and I couldn't be happier! Now it's summer holidays and time to relax and prepare for my new adventures!
