  • Key Lime Pie

    January 27, 2016

    Leave a comment

    The Key lime is smaller and usually have a more sweet and bitter flavour than regular lime. This citrus has gotten its name from its association with the Florida Keys, where it is best known as the flavouring ingredient in Key lime pie. I found this citrus fruit in a local grocery store a couple of days ago and I just had to make some pie!

    I know how to make my traditional lasagna. I have been making it for years, and my husband loves it. My son´s school threw  a Turkey feast before Thanksgiving and in addition to the 30+ turkeys they asked for, they also were in need of someone to bring vegetarian alternatives. Being confident on making lasagna (in opposite to the all american turkey), I signed up for what I thought was easy. Continue reading →

  • Apple Cake – The Norwegian style

    October 9, 2015

    Apples are in season and I just had to make this cake for the Hoedown bake sale at my daughters school. Apples are a common fruit in Norwegian gardens, and some gardens are so filled with them that the owners are unable to use them all. My former neighbour and name sister (and the mother of my daughters best friends) has a couple of trees full of apples. Last year I got a lot from her, but now living in California, I have to buy all my apples for the cake.

    Just for the paper work we had to go back to Oslo, Norway for two weeks this summer. Jet lagged and jet lagged and jet lagged all over again. I hate it. But it was nice to see friends and family again. And you kind of really appreciate your home town when not living there anymore.. The weather was back and forth, as usual – nothing has changed and the inhabitants were still complaining about it, but we got some really nice days. On the bright side, I got to be a tourist in my own home town as my mother dragged me around in her relentlessly walking habit. OMG this city is changing!! Continue reading →

    My son is a freshman at Gunn High School in Palo Alto. He has chosen Food as a subject, something I find awesome! This recipe was handed out by the teacher and he made the muffins at home this morning. He used a mix of different chocolate chips; butterscotch, white, and semi-sweet. With great success.

  • Fig jam

    When being in my early teens we were bored and walking relentlessly the streets in the suburbs of Oslo.  In the fall there were apples and plums on the trees and they were apparently not being eaten. Or so it appeared for us. For a thrill we entered the gardens and picked the fruit. In Norwegian it is called going on “slang” – to scrump. It is the same as stealing, but there were no other consequences than that the owner of the garden would yell at you if got caught.

  • Blueberry buckle

    In my garden back in Norway I have two blueberry trees. These differ a lot from what Norwegians call blueberries, witch is not the same as blueberries in english. If you type blueberry on Wikipedia you get on the top of the article:

    This article is about the “American” blueberry. For the “European” blueberry, see Bilberry

  • Eggs Benedict

    My husband has a thing for his Eggs Benedict. Don´t know why and I really don´t care. He loves it and he always order it when we go out for breakfast. Finally settled in Palo Alto I felt that I had to  make him the breakfast he always goes for in the US. Continue reading →

  • Peach jam

    Featured

    Being an expat in California calls for a whole lot of new experiences. A new life, a new house, a new way of doing (normal) things. Luckily enough we ended up (after a quite thrilling search for housing in the (really expensive) Palo Alto area) with a landlord from Hong Kong. With the knowing of the difficulties of being an alien in the US, he is there for us 24/7, happy for helping us whenever we have the slightest problem. We are so lucky! Continue reading →
