The nice spring weather has really made us wake up from the winter hibernation and get us out. This week we went again to Mærrapanna, but this time we went to Gjetøya, which is on the same recreation area.
Like nedenfor der vi satt var det et gåsepar. Flotte fugler, de var der hele tiden mens vi satt der.Just below where we sat there was a goose couple. Great birds, they were there all the time while we sat there.
Langs veien der vokser det blåveis, og til min store glede blomstret de nå.
Along the road there grows Blåveis (I am not sure about the English name, Blue anemone?). To my great joy they bloomed now.
Blåveis is my childhood spring flower, so they awaken good memories. On the slope from the road down to the sea in Bastvika, where I grew up, there were blue of flowering anemones. And nowhere were the blue colors as beautiful as there. We picked countless bouquets.
I dag ble det også tur, den gikk til Vestvannet. Det var lite vann der nå. Vestvannet har tilknytning til Glomma, så når snøsmelting og vårflom kommer, kan det bli mye vann! Der vi satt i dag er det vanligvis under vann. Today we also went on a trip, to the lake Vestvannet. There was little water there now. Vestvannet is connected to the river Glomma, so when snow melting and spring floods come, there can be a lot of water! Where we sat today is usually under water.
Jeg har ikke noe ferdig sokkepar denne gangen, men det strikkes. Jeg jobber med Längtan till Gotland. I have no finished pair of socks this time, but I am knitting. I am working on Longing for Gotland.
Jeg fant en boks med vaniljesaus som var gått ut på dato, så for å få brukt den ble det god gammeldags dessert idag. Ca 2 1/2 dl eplemos og en eggehvite ble stivpisket sammen, og vips så ble det TROLLKREM MED EPLER, med vaniljesaus til. Og perfekt med nostalgisk dessertbolle fra barndommen. Jeg kan ikke huske at mamma lagde trollkrem, men jeg husker mange søndagsdesserter med gele eller sjokoladepudding i den serveringsbollen.
I found that I had a box of custard that had gone out of date, so to get it used it became good old-fashioned dessert today. About 2 1/2 cups of apple sauce and one egg white were whipped together, and then it became TROLLKREM/TROLL CREAM WITH APPLES, served with custard. And perfect with nostalgic dessert bowl from childhood. I can't remember my mom making Trollkrem, but I remember many Sunday desserts with jelly or chocolate pudding in that serving bowl.
Så vårlig og fint! Her har vi vært på ski, men den blanke sola det ble meldt om uteble dessverre pga lavt skydekke. Prøver på nytt om sola viser seg i morgen. Lange lyse dager.....
