Cooking and baking

This weekend I have been inspired to cook and bake. Haven't touched the sewing machine though. Yesterday I went for a jog in the nature reserve close to our place. While I was already in the forrest, I took the chance to check out the state of the blueberry sprigs (and by blueberries, I mean bilberries. Which we call blueberries in Sweden.). I thought they would be ripe by now, but they were far from it... At least to weeks left. But I had blueberries on my mind, and got obsessed with the idea of blueberry muffins (probably a little inspired by my friend Maria and her muffin baking of lately). Luckily there are always frozen berries! I was baked some wonderful blueberry (and now I actually mean blueberry) and rasperry muffins while listening to my new favourite Timo Räisänen. Then me and my boyfriend had tea and muffins, scraped some lottery tickets (no wins) and played Yatzy and Munchkin.



The muffins had a lot of berries in them. Yum.



I lost in yatzy twice, but won in Munchkin. It was such a nice and cozy night. Playing games is the shit.

Then, tonight, I made Borsjtj, Ukrainian beetroot soup. We even found Smetana (russian sour cream) at our lokal supermarket.



I have been wanting to make that ever since I ate it in Russia like eight years ago. It was yummie! And much more filling than you would think. Now I can only sit in the sofa with unbuttoned pants, gasping for air. Feeling sexy.

Cloverfield just started on tv. I'm gonna check it out.
Good night people!
Love,
