You know what?

I did go running! I opted out of a night out and after dinner (cheese and cured meets), wine and the best kiwi caprinha with some amigos (i know no spanish) I went to bed, and get this: I slept! And since my brother likes to sleep in I squeezed in a short run that got a little longer because I got lost. Madrid is a large and confusing city! It was really nice out and now I’m planning on waking my brother cuz I want breakfast.

So far am I a huge fan of Madrid!
Today I’m planning on doing some shopping, eating, and then dip my toe in the nightlife of Madrid ;)

I want candy! Bad!

"Food Challenge: Only vegetarian food for a week
I’m thinking Mushroom risotto, split pea soup, broccoli quiche, hummus, roasted vegetables and butternut squash soup. I’m kinda excited!"

Latest pins to my Food board over at Pinterest.. Yum!

1) blue cheese & prosciutto wrapped figs!!

2)Polenta-Crusted Rosemary-Roasted Potatoes

3) Earl Grey Lavender iced tea from Sophie Dahl.

4) Eggplant Fries with a Drizzle of Honey

5)Roasted tomatoes

6) Portobello and leak carbonara

7)Gwyneth Paltrow’s No-Fry Fries. (Just potatoes, olive oil and salt @ 425 degrees. The trick is to soak potatoes in cold water first!)

8) The poached egg trick by Julia Child: Pricking the flat end of the egg with a needle and then cooking it in boiling water for about 20 seconds you will give a head start to the coagulation process. After that you have to turn the heat down to a simmer and crack the egg into the water as normal.

Lovely brunch this weekend to celebrate a friends graduation. We had pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sandwiches, green smoothies with mango and avocado and amazing chocolate cupcakes. And of course mimosas and coffee
. 
These kind of events makes me glad to be back in town!

Only in Sweden!!!

For y’all non swedes, I will tell you our dirty little secret. We love doing the exact same thing as everyone else. (dressing the same, eating the same, going to the same places) Only in sweden does one see armies of girls in the same shoes, same hairstyle, the “right” pair of jeans. And while this phenomenon is most frequent among younger people the older ones kind of does the same. And apparently I’m no better. It’s true, I stood in line for over 45 minutes for a freakin burger. A burger that is supposed to be “hip”, “cool” , “in style”..?(or only hipster?) And yes it was good, but really nothing special. Five guys does it equally good, without a line of hipsters for a third of the price :)

I’m moving back into my old apartment on Saturday, and what I’m really looking forward to is cooking! I love everything food(and wine) but haven’t been cooking since I left Bologna if you don’t count tossing a sallad, or doing some oatmeal..
