Early morning

Oh, this little girl is up so early today. I couldnt sleep this night due to the amount of coffee and black tea I drank yesterday. So tossed and turned until 3.30 this morning. Then up 6.45 and drive the car to the repair shop to get that nasty scratch fixed. Got to borrow a nice little BMW 118d and it was fun to drive a manual car again and such a tiny car;=) A little bit easier to get into the garage with that...

Now some nice breakfast, boiled eggs and new buns from the bakery. Then a long walk in the nice morning weather. The good thing about waking up early.

Since requst came in the comments for some recipes of the food I eat now and then, here comes the salad and haloumi cheese from yesterday:

Salad:
Avocado in pieces
Been mix
Machete lettuce
Leak
Red and yellow tomatoes
Mixed nuts

Fry the haloumi cheese in some butter or margarine. No salt or pepper needed since its so salt in itself

Dressing:
2 parts of hamp oil
1 part of mango vinegar
1/2 part of mustard
Sugar after taste

  2. Good Morning Anette,

    Maybe a good idea to make this salad for this evening, beacause I'm alone at home tonight, and having dinner all by myself. Thanx for the recipe ! :)
    :). Did you read my advise about your allergic medicine?

  12. Good morning, dear :)

    It's now 5:27 here and I still awake, so nice to see the sun rise. I was watching Made In Hong Kong's documentary and you look very beautiful [like always] and I was thinking to go see you guys personaly somehow, heheh... I'll re-think this, because you guys get so stressed on tour... Well, I don't know, should I be more selfish and realize a dream? :D

    Love you and your voice, hope to listen it live again soon and see you rock on stage.

    Have a nice day,

    Dominique.



    *I was listening Ever Dream in your voice and it made me soooo emotional, I just love this song and you make it so perfect! Hope to listen you sing Feel For You ;)*

  16. Hej,

    I also woke up very early, it was a sleepless night. But I don't think that was because of lots of coffee yesterday (normally I fall asleep when I drink coffee). I think so many people couldn't sleep this night, because it was full moon (at least in Central Europe) ;-)

    Have a nice day.

  20. Hiya Anette! ^_^

    Thank You for the recipe! Fried cheese mmmm! My tummy calls for a late breakfast now!

    I'm with You on getting up at the early mornings. The day seems longer and the morning are much cooler than the afternoons so you can take care of things in town without sweating like crazy!

    Anyway, You should take some nap later though. You barely had some sleep!

    Glad you fixed the scratch!

  22. Hey Anette :)
    Hmm I'm not a big fan of salads but it sounds nice for ones who like it :)
    And wow, that's quiet early... O.O
    About that astma thingy, I would choose for your health :) I don't think it's a good idea you are singing with big red eyes and sneezing all the time etc :) But it's still your decision :) Oh and I like those last shoes, that flat one :D

    I really like your blog, it's always very nice to read when I had a bad day like yesterday :)
    Have a very nice day!!

    Thanks for the recipes =)

    Well, I hope you sleep better tonight or at least have a nice walk again =)
    I'll try not to drown in the Dutch rain here xd its like the freaking monsoon out there!!

  24. Morning Anette(it's not quite 6am here)

    Had a fight with my brother last night... and also watched a new reality show called 'Dance your A.. Off" was actually pretty inspirational. Dunno if it's airing yet there in Sweden, but it's actually heartwarming and inspirational(TV channel is Oxygen)might be able to find some stuff if you check the website for the channel.

    Hmm... there might be a problem with me making that salad... I've never heard of that type of lettuce(I think all we get in American stores are Iceburg and Romaine)bit it does look yummy. ( I LOVE avocados! Guacamole is the best stuff ever :) )

    Hope that there isn't any issues with getting your car fixed, my dad's facing having to buy another car, due to the fact that the front end of his car was nearly ripped off in a nasty accident, thankfully, he wasn't injured in the wreck.

    Hugs,
    Falyssa

  25. btw, I wanted to say its really cool of you to write to us everyday!, not many artists do that but it just shows that you care for your fans and have interest in them also!
    I already knew you were awesome, but the fact that you take the effort to write everyday(several times xd) makes you really special to me!
    Thank you so much for doing this blog Anette =D

  34. Good Morning!

    I know what you mean, I've been
    getting up early because my mum started a
    new job so that always wakes me up.
    And I had the same problem!
    I tossed all night and I think it
    was the coffee I had...

    Well at least your finally getting
    the scratch fixed!
    You'll probably be happier once
    it's done with.

    Thanks for the recipe, I'll
    have to try it.
    Because your food yesterday looked amazing!

    Hugs and love, Katie T.

  44. Hi!
    Thanks for the recepie... I love salads and I know my uncle will love it because he adores avocado, tomatoes and all kinds of cheese. Do you think that I could take some other kind of cheese? Because I don't think I could get that kind in Slovenia... Ah well I will try with another kind of cheese or maybe I will come to Sweden to buy it... :D

    Lots of hugs from Ana(who will be searching through stores for halloumi cheese) :D

  45. @Margit: Thank You for the kind words! :) I also Beleive in every statement of this video. It made my day better! :) That's because I would like to share it with Anette and You! :)
