Saturday evening

So, sitting watching the City and waiting for the 2nd competition out of 4 to get the finalists for the swedish eurovision contest. From the songs I have sneak-peak listened to I didnt like anyone that much but there is one song that is typical swedish folkmusic and that one sounded really nice. Let´s see what happens;=)

Tonight I made my favourite salad which is a shrimp salad. I just love shrimps and when adding a nice mustard-honey dressing it is a sure hit;=) Yummie!

Tried to take some photos of the two little cats this week but they are always fighting and moving so hmmm, not that easy;=) But well, here are a few of the two gangsters - Busan is the white birma cat and Stjärnan is the bigger maine coon.

  1. Awwww, the cats are so cute! Looks like Stjärnan is quite a sleeper... And the white one is Busan??? Oh my, she became so much bigger since her first pics!!!!

    And your salad looks lovely (i just add my dinner and it made me feel angry)! Have you ever try to add salicornia in it? It could be quite interesting... Also, i wonder the kind of taste it could have with a sauce made with cream and coriander leaves instead of the honey mustard... Do you cook the shrimps a very short time in olive oil or butter, or not? I imagine this kind of salad could be good with (slightly) warm shrimps, even maybe with some balsamic vineagar...
    BTW, speaking about cooking, next monday i'll do meatballs with a cream and swedish berries sauce (my mother invited one of her cousin and her husband for dinner, and i'm the only one who know how to cook here so...). What will be better with it, pastas, rice, or some other things? I was thinking about pastas, but not sure yet, so any ideas will be welcome....

    And for the song that sound like swedish folk, do you have a video for it, please? I'm curious to see how it sounds, i love swedish folk (still mourning for the loss of my Filarfolket cd, and it happened about 10 years ago)!


    Have a good evening! :)

    *hugs*

    I have to say, your two little gansters are so adoreable!! :) It's kinda hard to try take a pic of hyperactive cats. ;)

    Enjoy the Saturday evening! Hope you're feeling good and relaxed. :)

  9. Good evening! The City? Does that have
    a character named Katharine in it,
    played by Torri Higginson?
    Or is this the reality show?

    Your food always looks so good! So, I think I'm going to be flying from Ohio over to your
    house for dinner from now on! Haha.
    But that's a 6 hour time difference and
    I have school, so unfortunately,
    I won't be breaking in your house and
    stealing your food...darn. Haha, just kidding- I wouldn't do that, it was a joke. Which you're probably not laughing at- you
    probably now think I'm a lunatic...

    Anyway, moving on- Wow! They're both getting
    so big!!! That's just too cute.
    But I know how you feel, I just got my two
    new puppies I told you about. So, now
    that's 6 plus the cat and they're all always
    going at it. Oh, by the way, I like the
    pants, and your socks are pretty cool too;=)

    Have a good night!

    Hugs and love, Katie T.

  10. Hi Anette,

    I love your cats! They are so beautiful.

    I'm not doing much this Saturday evening. At the moment I'm working on my new novel and then I'm gonna have a bath before settling down in front of the TV to watch a DVD. I've been feeling really stressed lately, so I need to relax a bit.

    Have a nice evening,
    Marie

  12. Mmmmm, that looks so delicious! And your cats are so adorable... I love cats though I'm allergic, unfortunately I can never have a cat. :( I'm glad I can have a dog, though!

    I trust in Sweden in this Eurovision contest, I don't like Finlands winner, Kuunkuiskaajat. I don't think it's very interesting... Norway's Eurovision-winner is Didrik Solli-Tangen, I think his song is beautiful but maybe a little bit boring. So I hope Sweden comes with new Waterloo! ;)

  13. WOW...Bon Appetit Anette... they say some people
    eat to live while others live to eat. It's good to do both, and it looks like you do. Stay Healthy!!!

    Cute cats also.

    again lots of love,
    Gary

  14. Hej Anette!
    Your cats are sooo sweet :-) Looks like they're having a great time with you - and you with them! ;-)
    I work as a volunteer at a Dog Care&Protection Centre, and we have some cats living there too ;-) Animals are so wise and loving and there's so much we can learn from them...
    So since tomorrow is Valentine's Day and love is celebrated, I wish everyone sends out their love to animals too, and remembers to do so not just once a year, but rather every day! :-)
    People, do you agreee? ;-)

  16. Åååhh!! Så underbara.

    Jag måste få receptet på salladen. Är det avokado i också?

    Tack för att du ändå lyckades ta kort på ungarna! Jag har två katter i samma ålder, bara lite äldre än Busan, dom är likadana... Man får ta kort när dom sover ;-)

  17. Wow, I'm not into shrimps very much, but this salad left me mouth-watering! Yummmmmm

    And, oh gosh, cats! I like cats, but I can't have them... I have 3 dogs who hate cats, and cats leave their fur everywhere! ahahahaha

    P.S.: Are those your feet on the last photos, wearing black with pink spots socks? I liked the socks! ^^
    Puss!

  20. Hej dear Anette.
    Woow, your cats grown up into little tigers ;=)
    My baby cat 'Sir Murphy' is almost a year now and he's big too. He looks like his mum. Black, white paws up front and at the back long white boots. But the different to his mom is that he has a a line on his little nose. I'm playing so much with him the last time.. and its wonderful to see how this adoreable entity grows every day a bit ;=) Now he and his mom are lying on my bed and relaxing.Cats have a great live.
    Hope your shopping was quiet good and you've found lovely things. I build up some new furniture ( Desk, bookshelf, etc...)!I have decorated my new desk with a plate and candles with Rose bouquets, english and swedish dictionary and a photo of you in a leather frame. Now here's chaos in my room but the desk is tidy and pretty!
    I thought the last days so much about you and Steff..( I'm writing e-mails with her, shes so kind and wonderful. Shes from France, I'm from germany and we understand each other in language and in generall )

    I can see that you're ont the cats photos because of your lovely socks ! ;=) Where had you buy them ? I saw them of the last photos you posted. Theyre looking nice. Which inch do you have in shoes and socks? That would interest me soo much, really ;)I have 42 also called 9. Yeah I have 180 cm thats big and so my feet are not so little, sadly. ;=)

    Next days I will upload my personal video for you on my Blog. I will tell you when I uploaded it. I hope youll like it and make a comment ;)
    If you accept I'll upload it at Youtube.

    Oh, its Valentines Day now ;=)
    I wish you and your Boyfriend a wonderful day full of love and feelings. Take time just for you both. Take a warm bath/ing with candles and Rose petals. Don't forget cuddling ;=)
    Let yourself be pampered.
    Yeah, have a nice day. I'll think of you both and hope that this day will be great.

    Many greetings to your son. I think he's already become pretty big. I think he has got long blonden hair, I saw him on a photo ;=)

    Long hair is nice !

    Lots of love and Hugs to you and everybody around you !
    ♥ Enjoy !

  26. Hej Anette :)

    Did you have a good show yesterday evening? On my own, i'm quite happy with the biathlon rice, although i really didn't expect Marie Dorin to have bronze (but the race result was quite curious, only Neuner is not a surprise in the first 3 places)...

    Well, there's something really special i want to ask you. It's quite hard for me, but i trust you about 1000%, and there's not a lot of people who could help me with this (sadly) - apart from this, the people i could ask this are limited to 2, and the second one is not the kind of person who write, and it's something i need to be writen... *blush* I really hope you will not mind this.
    Well, i have nightmares every nights or so (so far my best time was 10 days of peaceful nights (i.e. only 1 nightmare/night) when i started to visit your blog). I fight this as much as i could, and have some helpful things, and with tis i've been able to down my nightames to an average number of 3/night instead of 6 or 8, and i'm quite proud of this. Still, it's sometimes (often) hard to cope. I could deal with having to run away from monsters (living-deads and demons), having to fight for my life, being lost and alone somewhere, and even losing everything i own... But when it's something from my past, and in extended versions, saying it's hard to cope with would look like a joke (you know some of my past, but trust me you're far from knowing everything, there's much more awful things!). And this is where i ask my request... Could you please send me some comforting words that i could read at night after one of my nightmare? *BLUSH* If you couldn't, i understand - i just hope i'm not too much of a burden.....


    I wish a happy valentine's day to everyone :)

    *hugs*
