Norway: Part 2 - Around

Around the Haga farm, we found life much as usual. We got to relax at least. That was the first priority.

Second was to eat nugatti on bread. A lovely, more sugary version of nutella.

Liv and Leiv agreed. A few after dinner drinks and lots of talking - Norwegian on my part, poor Llew, but they talked English to him.

Saturday was not a public holiday, so after a shop, we drove around a bit. This was the high school that I went to in 96/97.

This is a nearby beach. It wasn't too cold, so we got a snack and sat and ate. 10 mintues of the breeze was enough!


Leiv usually makes dinner. This time was angler fish - fabulous.

Sunday was then rediculously snowy, so again, we stayed inside. It was Easter anyway, so we had a family dinner with the fish above.

Llew had to go play in the Norwegian snow. It was a little different from Indiana snow.



Monday was Liv's birthday so I practiced Happy Birthday with their current exchange student.
Llew wanted to make a cake - but not just one, three cakes in one. The bottom was brownie, the second hazel nut and nugatti (hazel nuts and nugatti between those two) and the top was raspberry (raspberry jam under that one). Then a fondant on top and all covered with icing. then white chocolate writing and ta-da!



Llew also made dinner - elk meatballs, deer braised in red wine, vegetables and tomato paste, vegetable gratin; dessert - coconut milk and pear and pear cider layered jelly.

The other thing Llew had to do was go and feed the calves in the barn. The milkers are at another place, the sheep are somewhere else too, so that just leaves the calves that were born in August.
