Happy Birthday Jessica!

Today is Jessica’s actual birthday and we are all going out for dinner. Her boyfriend asked us to submit something to a book that he put together for her birthday, it could be a note, a short story, artwork, or whatever. This was one of the pieces I submitted. She loves foxes.

Saturday Night

The belt broke on my scooter on my way to work the other day, it is apparently really easy to fix yourself, but I took it in to the shop, just to be on the safe side.

I had a super mellow night at home last night, and I was just about to go to bed at midnight when I got a text from my room mate who was on his way home and asked if I was still awake.

3 hours and two bottles of wine later…

Midsummer Party

Midsummer is a big deal in Sweden. I invited a few friends over to celebrate and introduce them to Pickled Herring.
I made a smörgåstårta (Sandwich Cake) as well.

I had herring for the second time in my life.

Herring plate with fresh potatoes, sour cream and chives.

Guests had made their own flavored snaps that we all tried out.

Never been a big fan of the snaps, I’m just drinking it because it is a tradition. The icy glasses were very cool though.

We didn’t have a midsummer pole to dance around, but we do have this traffic cone in the living room that got to serve as a midsummer pole so we got to dance the Little Frog dance!

Some guests arrived later, just in time for the leftovers/midnight snack!

Father’s Day

We made ladybirds for Father’s Day!
French baguette, cream cheese, smoked salmon, parsley, cherry tomatoes and black olives.

Look, this pear looks like a butt!

Disney’s WonderGround Gallery

Martin Hsu had a couple of pieces in the WonderGround Gallery in Downtown Disney. Today was the opening and artist signing.

Mickey’s Blossom of Dreams by Martin Hsu;

 Hipster Mickey by Jerrod Maruyama;

Mousetown by Sean D’Anconia;
After the art gallery we went to the ESPN bar to get a  beer and catch the second half of the Germany-Portugal football game.

I was super excited to go to the Lego store, I LOVE Lego!

They give you a jar and you can fill it up with a mix of your favorite Lego pieces, just like in a candy shop!

Who said Lego is just for kids? They also have the amazing architecture line!

When I was a kid, my older brother had a bunch of Technic Lego that I was never allowed to touch. But I sneaked into his room pretty much everyday after school before he came home and played with it anyway. Today I bought my own!
