On Saturday the ski season is starting. I will pack my suitcase with my grandmas Cross Country skiing outfit (very chic) and “throw myself out in the track”, as we say in Sweden. Sometimes in between eating and skiing and visits to the Sauna I will also bake. I expect it to be happening in the middle of the night. … Read More

First Bread Exchange after Jetlag
We have been flying around the world the last months. BRU, NYC, LA and SFO. I do not know who had the hardest Jetlag – Me, or the Sourdough.

Since Emi did not have a horse herself she pulled her strings and organized for me to visit her friend Lisa. Now Lisa does not … Read More
