we celebrated stefan's birthday with a spa weekend away. we loved our time at the ellery beach club so much that we visited their sister hotel in västerås (pics to come soon). on our return, we had birthday cake (pic below), made by cecelia, our young friend who we think will be a famous baker one day. she knows stefan well... the five is a chocolate cake with rose water cream and the 4 is a caramel cake with coffee. both were lovingly decorated with berries and macaroons which she made. both were delish. thank you cecelia! (insert heart emoji here)
we completed our third puzzle... a little cottage by the lake in the countryside. can't wait to travel again!
we have been watching massimo bottura's masterclass and stefan made his 'fish in a package' enclosed with olives, cherry tomatoes, and capers. simple yet so much flavour. i love his energy, passion, and italian hand gestures. give it a watch.
while the light in the city finally makes it feel like spring around here, it is still quite cold, wrapping myself in a chunky scarf as i bike to work wishing i hadn't packed away my winter coat. or, that i could have stayed in bed for awhile longer, just like ylva (last pic).
