Pancetta is great in Risotto

We had this red wine last night and it was very good

Roar and Whitney are visiting

Roar and Whitney came to visit today. I made portobello mushroom wrapped in parma ham for starters, chicken in tomato, lemon and garlic (see http://dinmat.aftenbladet.no/Finn-oppskrifter/Oppskrifter/Middag/Fjærkre/Kylling/Kylling-med-tomat,sitron-og-hvitløk ) and for dessert tiramisu (see http://www.nrk.no/programmer/tv/frokost_tv/4430232.html ) and chocolate fondant. We had two different valpolicella wines and for dessert we had a sweet dessert wine (Pellegrino Passito di Pantelleria Liquoroso)

Green Thai prawn curry for dinner

This was an amazing dish and with the right ingredients you can a real taste of Thailand. Here is the recipe: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/greenthaiprawncurry_88606.shtml . We made the curry paste from scratch and I'm sure it works great with chicken as well :-)

Nikki made pap and wors

This is one of the traditional dishes of South Africa. We didn't have a real wors of course...but an Idsøe sausage acted as a pretty good replacement.

Postcard from Mie

She had a week in "Syden" as we call it...a week of sun, beach and summer in Rhodes. Tickets can be really cheap this time of the year when school starts

Great day for flying

Nikki is coming home from a day trip to Oslo and it is pouring down :-(
