siblings at christmas

christmas eve dinner

Celebrated dinner with the family, Grandma flew in from Stavanger, so the five of us enjoyed Elio Altare's Larigi with our "stick meat" (pinnekjøtt). Stick meat is a traditional christmas eve dinner in Norway. Not my favorite, but the excellent wine made up for it. 

I love Christmas. It's so good to be home!

Merry Christmas!!

Good to be home! Nice to see my little Prince again. Another week at Cantina Granveien, and I'm off to Italy!

friday pizza

It has been a long standing tradition in our family to have pizza on fridays. Well, since I am going away this weekend, I made friday pizza today, thursday. And as always, the pizza is accompanied by "pizza wine", and these days my favorite is Nadia Curto's Barbera d'Alba. Excellent, as always.

wine wednesday

Awaiting a visit from some friends. A casual wednesday at Cantina Granveien. Nothing like a glass of wine to relax after a day at work and a visit to the gym. 

hanging around

 

A new addition to our proch, the fatboy hammock. I invited my friend over for dinner, and we tested it out. Very comfy, perfect for two. Looks like I've found a new place to read for the summer.
