Taking
– Kajsa are those my sunglasses?
– Yes they are (stating the obvious)!
Kajsa has begun stealing things. She doesn`t take sunglasses or other things like that but let`s say there`s a candy wrapper on the table then she steals it. She hasn`t done that until now and it must be a phase she`s going through. If I leave a plate of food on the table she doesn`t take anything. It seems that it must be leftovers for her to be interested. It`s great that she doesn`t take food because some foods can be like poison to dogs. I can have a bag of candy on the sofa and she ignores it. She doesn`t want to steal unchewed things.
She has never been into taking things before. She did when she was a puppy but that`s normal. When she was a puppy she chewed on drawers and she nearly destroyed the tv cable. Now she doesn`t chew on furniture just leftovers. You could think she doesn`t get food. She gets all the food she should. It must be that she wants things we have chewed on because it looks somehow.
Gorgeous
She can’t keep her beautiful eyes open.
Peanut choco
This is a delicious sweet. It’s a cake and candy combined. I have changed the recepy and instead of taking the amount of the butter it says I took half the amount. I used peanut butter instead of all of the butter. It tastes good!
3 dl oats
100 gr butter (or 50 gr butter and 50 gr peanut butter)
1 dl sugar
2 tsp cocoa powder
1 small spoon vanilla sugar (I don’t know what it’s called)
2 tsp cold coffee
Whisk the butter and sugar. Add the oats, peanut butter, cocoa, vanilla and coffee.
Roll into bolls and dip them in sugar or coconut pieces.
Buns
I love cinnamon buns. I love them but it takes forever to make them. You make the dough and it has to rise. Then you have to make the buns – roll out the dough, spread sugar, cinnamon and butter on it. And when you have done that you have to roll the dough so you can cut the buns. The dough must rise again. After that you have to brush the buns with egg. Puh!
Today I made a deliciously easy bun. I didn’t even have to work it with my hands. I made the dough and even though it had to rise twice it was fast. I made the dough let it raise and put it in a oven tin (or what it’s called) to rise. Then I put sugar, cinnamon and butter on it and baked it. Done!
Cutest
Kajsa is my little girl. She is a parson jack russell and she is 4 years old. She is crazy and makes me laugh all the time. She makes me forget my depression and she is my best friend. Dogs have always made me feel good. I feel calm when they are around. They don`t need much and only have few demands. I love how happy Kajsa is to just be near me. I am happy just to be near her. When I am sad she sits by me. No words are needed. She senses when I need her.
She has always been crazy. She is still a puppy in her mind. She loves to play and footballs are her favourite toy. If she could she would chase them all the time. Cause of her craziness I don`t have time to think about how I feel. I have to get up everyday to take care of her. I love doing it. We do everything together.
Vegetarian
I try to eat vegetarian food often. I sometimes feel sick when I’ve eaten too much meat and if I stop eating it for a while I feel better. I don’t think meat makes you sick it’s just my system that can’t take too much of it.
It’s not difficult to make vegetarian meals at least not these days. I have been a strict vegetarian from time to time and I remember that it was more difficult some years ago. There wasn’t hardly any vegetarian ready meals and you had to make everything from scratch. The ready meals that were available were often disgusting.
Today there’s a wide range of vegetarian products. The one in the picture is vegetarian schnitzel. The meat version of it is pork in breadcrumbs. This is soy based “meat” in breadcrumbs. It’s delicious. It’s a swedish brand and it’s only available in Sweden which is too bad cause it taste good. This is just one of the vegetarian alternatives out there. This I serve with ovenbaked potatoes and a pepper sauce.
Cake
Apples are my favourites when it comes to baking with fruit. They make all cakes taste good. This cake with apples is tasty. The apples are Granny smith cause of their sharp taste.
The measurments are those we use in Sweden.
100 grams butter
2 decilitres sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 egg
4 decilitres wheat fluor
1,5 decilitres milk
Mix the room temperature butter with the sugar. An electric whisk makes it easier. Add the baking powder, the egg, the flour and the milk and whisk.
The apples.
Peel 2-3 apples and cut them in pieces. Mix them with sugar and cinnamon. The recepy says 2 tablespoons of sugar and 0,5 tablespoon of cinnamon although I just put in the amount I think will be suitable.
Stick the apples in the batter. Bake at 175 C for 45 minutes on the bottom half of the oven.
Food idea
Eggs. There’s nothing you can’t do with them.
I like omelettes cause you can put whatever you want in them. In this there’s bacon peppers and tomatoes. Todays dinner idea.
Beauty
I am crazy about beauty. I am crazy about beauty products and spa treatments. I like it all. If I had the money I would live in a beauty salon.
My favourite beauty products at the moment are beautyboxes. I have been subscribing to Lookfantastics beautybox and I like it. Once a month you get a box with beauty products. You never know what you are getting and it’s fun to open the box. I get products I would never buy myself and find new favourites.
