Meatballs

There’s still quite some time left before Christmas kicks in, but I am pretty busy over the next few weeks, so I started to prep this weekend with meatballs. 
4 lb turkey meat
2 onions
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 pack cream cheese
4 eggs
1.5 cups milk
1 tsp sugar
4 tsp salt
peppers

Moon Festival

The Chinese Moon Festival was yesterday, but we thought it’s better to celebrate on a Friday.
Putting meet in a coconut and put in on the BBQ? Yeah, survival style!

Yes, the frying pan is pink!

First time I ate a “devils nut” good stuff!

The coconuts were amazing! Gonna have to do more of that!

Gylfinir Bixbite

One of my mom’s 4 year old ponies was gonna go and measure herself with other 4 year olds to see if she can be the most beautiful 4 year old in Sweden, as she was the most beautiful last year when she was 3.
Started off with making sure she had not grown to much.

Then make yourself beautiful in front of the judges; 40 point out of 50, which is really good!

Then make yourself pretty in front of the paparazzi!

She did better than expected on the jumping so everyone thought this was an easy one and she’ll go though to the final.

But then she thought it was enough and refused to gallop at the last element so she didn’t make it through to the final at the end.

We had to go home and bake a cake due to the “falling off the horse” incident earlier in the week. The sous chefs did a brilliant job.

I think you can clearly see here that I have a degree and culinary arts and went to communication arts school!

Tenhult School

My niece and nephew called me a week ago and asked me if I could come to school with them and show pictures of Los Angeles while I was visiting. A lot of fun! The kids loved it and went on and on and on about snakes when I showed them a photo of a rattlesnake.

We made the best cupcakes ever when they came back from school!

You Eat Ants?

It’s Winnies birthday tomorrow so we went to Typhoon by the Santa Monica Airport to eat some bugs!

Crickets anyone?

I tasted the ants, took a pass on the worms though.

You gonna eat that?

Excuse me sir, there’s a bug in my food!

I  made her a cake, bug free!

Glögg

Last years glogg was delicious, but I only had time to let it sit for 3 weeks and I want it to sit for at least 6 weeks this year, so I started super early!
