It always feels a little strange celebrating 17 May and not being in Norway... Every year I say 'Next year I will be home', but it is hard to fit a trip in when it is still normal working days over here.
Never mind, we also celebrate over here!
In the afternoon Our Boy and I are looking forward to a piece (or two) of this lovely Budapest cake (click on the link for the recipe) which I also made for his birthday last year!
But I leave you a picture of waffles - one of the most Norwegian coffee treats there is. I made some on Sunday when a friend popped over and there wasn't anything else to offer her in house. I have to admit I don't use any particular recipe for the waffles... any measurements is more or less 'in my hands', but this is roughly what goes into them:
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
approx. 4 dl milk
approx. 4 dl flour
25 grams melted butter
Whip eggs and sugar and add some milk and some flour until a lumpfree batter. Add the melted butter.
Let them cool slightly.
Spread either jam/sugar/cheddar cheese or Norwegian goat cheese (or even butter) and fold them over two and two.
Gratulerer Med Dagen!
Happy Constitution Day! Sorry to have been so hopeless at being in touch recently, but it's been busy and I've been distracted – however, M's now home and C's due back tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYour photography course looked fantastic! I really liked what you were able to do in black and white ... very atmospheric!
Have a great day,
Sarah
Hei Mette
ReplyDeleteGratulerer med dagen, håper du har hatt en kjempeflott 17-mai feiring :) Skjønner godt
at du savner Norge på slike dager, men som
jeg ser fra tv så kan nordmenn å feire i
utlandet ღ Det ble laget vaffelrøre her i
dag også, men greide ikke å få ned en eneste
bit, så den får vi ta igjen i morgen :)) Ha
en fortsatt fin kveld og uke som kommer...
Stor klem fra Mette
Gratulerer med dagen Mette! =}
ReplyDeleteVel overstått dag Mette m/familie!;)
ReplyDeleteKaken høres spennende ut, og vaffler...det ELSKER vi;-))
Håper dere fikk feiret dagen på deres måte, selv om dere er utenlands!
Klem Anne Karin
Vel overstått feiring! Kos at dere feirer i England også.. Vafler er jo veldig norsk :)
ReplyDeleteOg Budapestkake - mmmmm :)
Jeg skal unne med en kakerest om litt! En av gjestene hadde med en nydelig kake, sjokolade, med eggekrem og bringebærfyll og sjokoladekrem på toppen. Kjempegod :)
Nyt kvelden..
Klem fra Tove
