First I sliced an orange
Then I decided to add lemon and lime as well
I placed the slices on a baking sheet and dried them in the oven for a few hours
Oops, the slices burned quickly at the end…
I used the dry slices as decorations for the advent wreath. But tomorrow I will throw away the burned slices and buy more decorations and better candles.

I’m drinking tea with honey now and I hope I [...]

A few weeks ago I participated in a vote on which praline I like best in the Aladdin-box. I have several favourites but the one I finally voted for was the egg liqueur praline.
Today I read the result on Aftonbladet.se. My favourite praline didn’t even get 4% of the votes?! I’m surprized. The praline will be removed [...]

It didn’t take long for the rest of my tower to collapse. Half an hour ago Kalle shouted from the kitchen that two walls were down and while I was downloading the photos to the computer he shouted again that all walls had fell.
