stockholm weekend pics, taste of stockholm / sweden national day

the weather was crazy making.  it would rain but then not really.  the sun would peek out creating beautiful warmth then hide and make it cold.  all weekend, so weird.  anyway, i'm not allowed to complain about the weather at home anymore so i'm choosing to do so in this space.  it's my blog and i can complain if i want to, right?

we spent lots of cozy time indoors playing games, watching jurassic park 1 & 2, and eating picnic style with pickles, cheese, crackers, chorizo, bread, tuna salad, and local strawberries.  

we spent time in the rain during sweden national day when we attended kai's soccer fotboll match (kai says we are in sweden and i mustn't call soccer soccer anymore!) and indulged in indian dishes from the tiffin food truck.  and, stefan made the most delicious vegan and gluten-free cake.  he just made it when i suggested it without any complaints. i'm so glad he did, it's divine.  recipe here, stefan says to make it with more coffee than suggested in the recipe!

we spent time in the is-it-raining weather when we gathered with ximena and famly for the taste of stockholm in downtown kungstradgarden.  the upside was that it wasn't very crowded due to the iffy weather.  so much food, with about twenty-five / food trucks present.  it was a feast for the eyes.  sunday afternoon champagne with strawberry topped almond cake for a starter!  this was followed by fish tacos for the girls, pulled pork sandwiches for the boys, mini sausages for the kiddos/adults as the main course.  and we finished with eclairs and churros for dessert.  total indulgence, all sundays should be like this :)

 

 

 

hope you had a lovely weekend.
