stockholm weekend pics, centralbadet + more good things

the last couple of weekends have been lazy but filled with good things.

1. located in central stockholm, in a lovely courtyard, is centralbadet, a swedish bathhouse guaranteed to relax you. you start with warm roman baths and a cold knee high one too. then off to the sauna area - mineral sauna, steam sauna, herbal sauna, and more. finally, the art nouveau swimming pool. not to mention ending our time with a classic facial, one of many spa treatments to choose from. there's also a rooftop pool which i'll have to visit next time.

2. going to the spa with ange! if i'm going to be partially naked with anyone, she's definitely who i want by my side. her sense of humour to the whole experience made it all the more comfortable. i look forward to her biannual visits, they are filled with laughter, shopping and good food. this is one lovely woman.

3. fika dates with stefan who recently returned from a two week work trip (again!)... magnus johansson bageri (they sell bunches of flowers now!) and kavalleriet are always delicious.


4. and my other guy... a lunch date with kai eating the always delish indian street food

5. chocolate chip cookies, just one a day to keep the doctor away. these ones are from jackie kai ellis, who once owned beaucoup bakery in vancouver. recipe can be found in her memoir, the measure of my powers which i highly recommend.

6. cooking healthily with lots of veg, little to no carbs and sticking with it, resulting in fitting into jeans that i haven't been able to wear for the past few years, woohoo!

7. always, the cats.

8. chanterelle season in stockholm... my favourite is just eating them simply right out of the pan or on toast. so good, guys.

9. new purse from danish brand marimekko... i've coveted this one for a looooong time.

here are some pics, taken with my iphone (sorry, not best quality):

hope you've had lovely weekends full of good things.
