Helan går...

This year we were invited to celebrate midsommarafton with some of our swedish friends... or we could better say midvinter in the southern hemisphere!

Lots of people, plastic plates and swedish dishes recreations...

Magic


Uno de los blogs que habitualmente leo es el de Anne. Probando mi suerte en uno de sus sorteos, gané a Pascal LeChef! y ese ayudante tan lindo que vino con él...
Ahora me toca probar su magia, quizás en mi próxima preparación sueca?

Now it's time to try his magic, maybe in my next swedish preparation?

Tack så mycket Anne och Ulrike!
