Åh gåtta banen, det så godt ut! Det skal jeg prøve å lage du! Nå holder mannen på oppe på kjøkkenet med å lage sushi, lenge siden vi har hatt det og han er flink også skjønner du! :) Koser seg nå når han kan holde på. Det er hyggelig :) Jeg har bakt gjærbakst i dag, kanelsnurrer. Deilig! I dag har det snødd vilt her i Sandefjord, men sola kom midt på dagen og vi hadde det nydeligste vintervær.
Ha en fantastisk lørdag Paul :)

Mmmm, this looks so comforting and tasty, Paul. A snowy Saturday afternoon and this looks perfect for lunch! But hey, with butter, cream, and cheese...I'm all in anyway :)
Interesting to know that you, as the stylist, are actually preparing the food! At least you get rewarded for all of your efforts. That's a perk I'd be happy to have :)

Its also really good if you put in a slice of ham or parma before you put the egg in.
I did the parma for sunday brunch, so good!
Try it!
And thanks for all your kind comments.

That looks great! It's like egg in a basket but you don't waste any of the bread.
