New Scandinavian Cooking

I was browsing through the TV channels and came upon this cooking show called New Scandinavian Cooking. The host was a Norwegian Chef called Andreas Viestad. He was making some delicious looking recipes and at the same time it felt like a travel show. My knowledge of Scandinavian food is limited to Ikea meatballs with lingonberry sauce (a favourite) and if you don't own a Scandinavian cookbook, this website seems to be a handy reference complete with recipes. The series is also hosted by Claus Meyer, from Denmark and Tina Nordstrom of Sweden.

A couple of hours were spent putting 3 year old photographs into an album. I thought it would take much longer. I had to print them off an online website that is threatening to delete my albums unless I make a minimum yearly purchase. There are still a bunch of albums left to print off. I have them all on CD, but I had selected the better ones and captioned and stored them online. One of these days, I may have a good system in place, although technology keeps changing so rapidly.

Hey Christine
That's funny about the fish comment, I have a post coming up about that exact report! I pre-wrote it Friday.
Great Minds think alike! :o)

It really is so hard to keep up with technology. I'm always 5 steps behind.

I never seem to get my pictures printed anymore, I really should get it sorted at some point :)

lol, dont buy any subscriptions.
If you cant print them. I suggest to make a private blog for you and your family and add all the pictures there.

SoccerMom, I'll wait to hear what you think about the fish story then.

Kay, although I think we're keeping up a lot better than some.

Karen, you may have some time when they head off to university!

LazyKing, thanks for a great suggestion...at least people would be able to easiy access and actually look at them every now and then!

Good on you for doing your albums! I have years and years of digital photos that I've never printed out. I thought I'd work on albums while we were living overseas because I had this fantasy that I'd have loads and loads of free time. HA!

At least I have JaPRA.

I love Ikea meatballs too! I am not sure if this is available at every Ikea, but the one in Delft offers chicken satay. It's good too!

I've never tried Scandinavian cooking...

Japra, I think Ikea meatballs qualifies as Scandinavian, so you've had it! Wow, they have chicken satay there?
