Almost two years ago I started this little project, called the Bread Exchange. It has been a really good times. Mainly because the project has connected me with such great people.

Trade: Quinces

I never had Quince jelly before this October. Ever. I have never heard of Quinces other then in Bionade. I never ever heard that Quices exist in Sweden. But now I know them. Very well. Ones upon a time Quinces were very trendy. But the last (at least) 80 years they have been pretty out. So the Quinces normally grow … Read More

I am with you Emi

I really hate running. I really really do. What irritates me is that running is probably the most practical sport and would suit my lifestyle perfectly. It is cheap, no gym card needed. You can do it everywhere. You can always bring your Nike-free in the  hand luggage since they weight nothing. And then you can experience new places in … Read More
