Merry Christmas!
Yes, the very first almond flower - weather in Majorca
has been fantastic, sunny.
Finnisch für Anfänger:
JOULUKUKKA = Weihnachtsblume / Christmas flower
JOULU = Weihnachten / Christmas
KUKKA = Blume / flower
JOULUTÄHTI = Weihnachtsstern / poinsettia
And now to the xmas food porn business.
ON the 23rd we were invited to an outdoor brunch to friends.
Such a cool, secret location in the middle o f the island.
Neighbours, as usual, same, same but different.
The food served was absolutely classy:
brunch started with oysters!
White bread for me ...
Then some barbecued mussels!
Cheese and white bread for me.
Well, and soma dates in bacon.
Main course: FISH!
Second main course: salmon.
For Oderazzi: chicken wings.
And as it happens ... nobody could eat the meat anymore,
after four hours feasting those fishy things
people just got full.
But we have some of this meat now in our fridge.
Maybe tomorrow we can try it.
Yesterday we were invited to a Finnish
Christmas dinner in Palma.
They call it "lasimesttarin silli" in Finland.
Fish in the glas.
THE KINKKU.
My kind of tradition. Ham.
Potatos, carrots, "lanttus".
Mushed veggies.
More fish. Siika and salmon.
My main course: kinkku, three veggie thingies and
self made mustard (by Risto) from Finland.
Yes, this is Christmas time, meeting friends,
eating too much, drinking too much.
Must admit, in Mallorca Christmas hysteria is not so obvious.
Lucky us.
I'll post today's boring garden pics tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
