Bright Yellow Fruit Salad

Pad-thai with tofu

Pad-thai with tofu

In a food mood today, so I snapped these photos of what I made for dinner. It’s a vegetarian Thai dish, often found at street corners in Thailand for a few bats. It’s my favorite. When I found the recipe in the most recent IKEA Family (page 76) magazine I knew I had to make […]

Lemonade or as we say blandsaft

Mom has made red lemonade from a mix of red berries. We call it blandsaft, which means mixed fruit lemonade. I’ve designed the labels in Adobe InDesign and printed them on sticker paper that we cut out. Summer is the time to fill up the well for winter, both in the food cellar and the […]
