IRRESISTIBLE

No one can resist the taste of my ultra rich and delicious lemon-coco cake.

2 eggs
2 dl sugar
1 dl water
2 dl flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Juice from 1 very small lemon

Glaze:

75g margarine
1 dl sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice

Converter.

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Whisk together eggs and sugar. Pour in the water, soon the flour and baking powder and squeeze in the juice from the lemon. Pour the batter into lightly greased baking pan and into the oven for 30 minutes.

In the meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Heat the margarine first and then mix it all together in the pan. When cake finnished, pour the glaze over and decorate with coco flakes. Best to eat when the cake is chilled. Preferably with some Kesella on top. MMmmm.. c'est fantastique!

BRUN(ELLO)

Sometimes there is nothing better for the creativity than being alone with a bottle of delicious red wine and the brilliant, melancholic voice of Ane Brun in the speakers.

My all time favorite, Brunello di Montalcino (2003), is my dear friend tonight.

BLACK/GOLD

I love the thick golden zipper on the back of my new silky Dolce & Gabbana dress. And the dress itself: Perfect lines in symmetry with the curves. Black as always. A subtle and classic cut. Just the way I love it.

BACK ON LAND

Instead of taking the fast 40 min flight back home from Mallorca, I got back sailing on a 24 hour journey. There is really something extraordinary with being in the middle of a wide open, never ending sea. Having only water, water and water around you for a whole day and night. No sign of either life nor land, when suddenly these beautiful little creatures shows up from nowhere and wants to play in the waves from the boat. Wonderful nature, sometimes you take my breath away.

MORNING GLORY

Early morning walk in Puerto Portals, Mallorca.

For the Scandinavian soul of mine - there will always be something special and thrilling about being woken up by the bright sun, on a January morning. No matter how many years I lived apart from the cold and rainy parts of Northern Europe, I will always be extra grateful for these simple, shiny morning moments in wintertime.

FREE LOVE

"Let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."

Khalil Gibran from The Prophet, 1923.

TRANQUILITY

Needed some inspiration and a relaxing environment for the work on a new project.

Great that the warm fire on Palma, Mallorca, is just 40 minutes away when I need it.
