A calm weekend coming up – we still
needed a bit of rest, after that big road trip of ours. On Friday, we
had my parents over for dinner – it was after all a while since
we'd seen them last time. For a starter, we prepared a starter we'd
tried in Bordeaux – a chestnut cappuccino. Quite a success, I would
say. The main coarse, a kind of pork loaf with apples, was less of a
success. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary either. To round things
off, some pineapple with ice cream, yummie! All in all, a success, I
would say!
For Sunday, we decided to head into
Nice, to check out Aki and Henna's little boy, who had been born a
few weeks ago, and is enigmatically known as “Ihme” (means, quite
appropriately, miracle in Finnish). We spent a rather nice afternoon
with them, and Aki's parents, admiring the little miracle - and also
enjoying the first
Glögg
(mulled wine) of the year, and also some tasty piparkakkus (a.k.a.
Gingerbread). Christmas is approaching ;)
So
a rather quiet weekend then, we need those as well!
