About the joy of cooking and baking in a Norwegian kitchen.

Not always that romantic.....
I confess that I have a romantic soul, but my style in decoration is usually much more rustic than what can be seen in these photos. But some days are meant for romance, and all you have to do is to follow the bliss.
I worked longer than my husband today. He phoned me when I was on the bus on my way home to let me know that dinner was on the table, and I decided to stop at the grocery store to buy a treat for afternoon coffee. I actually hadn't planned anything too sweet, but when I saw these pink and dark "punchkaker", I couldn't resist, and filled a small plastic bag.
Coming home I realised that my husband was in a pink mood as weel, for dinner he had fried salmon filets. Mmmm, I love fish, and even more when I can come home from work to a ready dinner table. My pink cakes made the dot over the i - a plain Monday was transformed to a feast.
I live in Trondheim, Norway with my husband and two daughters. Two boys have moved out to create their own homes. I work full time, and have alot of interests, but there is hardly a day when you don't find me in the kitchen, playing with old and new recipes. And if I am not to be find it the kitchen, take a look in The Blue Garden. I am a member of the Slow Food movement and a supporter of the Slower Life.

That is lovely, Britt-Arnhild. A daily dose of romance! :)
Your light blue and pink porcelaine looks lovely, Britt-Arnhild. And the pink rose to accompany it - what a treat.
Very pretty and romantic. The pastel china is lovely for such an occasion.

Suz - deep inside I am a true romantic :-)
