It feels like the third wave of COVID-19 is ongoing, and I stay at home in quarantine. Since it is Sathurday I did some cooking at home. It is a classical Swedish dish, but in a way very French. I have made this from scratch with fresh, raw ingredients. And having the right ingredients is very French. In high school we had something similar, not so tasty though. But this was very good and also a taste of summer. It takes some time to prepare, but worth doing. First time for me.

Tusse won! What? The song contest of course. Best wishes for Eurovision final in May. Yes, it is nice to have something else to think of than the Corona virus and mutations. This florist I had a chat with the other day made me think of months before the pandemic was a fact. This is almost forgotten, but can you imaginge – there were bombs! People were sleeping and at night time terrorist groups bombed in Stockholm and in other parts of Sweden. Like to prepare that something bad was going to happen. The florist was in a way right talking about the pandemic as wartime.
As usual, to cope with the surrealistic daily life, like bombs, I thought of Peter Sellers and The Pink Panther. Found this nice peace from decades ago.

It is more time consuming to write in Swedish as well, but I hope you like this change! I do not use google translate. Day by day we are getting closer to – what should I say – liberty? A few days ago I bought some flowers to remind myself of spring and summer. Good to look forward. The florist actually talked like it is an ongoing war. Corona restrictions with limited number of customers etc. Being a political refugee must be terrible. I have been lucky and never lived in a war. Only news on tv.
Life is on hold and it is important to stay in a stable social bubble. A lot of people follow the Eurovision song contest. Good to have a rest from the virus and vaccines. I used to watch when Carola and Herreys competed, and I was a true supporter. Since I have friends who like watching Eurovision, I share Herreys.
By the way, any one who knows what has happened to Annie Löf? Has she become a maverick? She should talk to the former party leader Maud Olofsson for advice. Interesting to follow the domestic political development.

To stay at home during this pandemic is the very best you can do. It is boring so you have to do the very best you can to stay in a good mood. Vaccination is ongoing but it is very time consuming. Perhaps we do not have enough vaccine yet in Sweden?
Cooking has been my main interest during the pandemic. To find new inspiring recepies. I have so many cookbooks, but today you mostly use the internet. I always forget the degrees for cooking meet and fish etc in the oven, then the internet is perfect to rely on.
Anyway, I have gained a couple of pandemic kilos that I have to do something about. Muscles perhaps. Spring time makes it easier. It is warmer and I can have my sallad again. Winter time I prefer hot food, but a fresh sallad is my favorite. On top of my ordinary exercise of course.
To keep going you have to focus on the positive things in life. I prefer the Muppet show with the Swedish chef instead of mutations that I mentionend the other day.

Another pandemic week has passed. I saw sweetie and cutie last weekend, and I brought a gift from a collegue. For some reason, I have saved this present for years, but now it was a perfect moment to light this rice lantern. It was a little windy, and the wind brought it to the sky over the fields. Amazing!
This weekend we have full moon. A constant lantern in the sky. The moon is so bright this evening so I had to google. I found out that in April and May there will be some kind of super moon. This pandemic makes me focus on the little things in life. Like rice lanterns and full moon.
