Our granny really is a super granny. When we got to her place on Saturday evening, she took us to the dining room and set the table with all sorts of delicious home made pastries. We had coffee and freshly baked blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream, buns, cookies and white chocolate (I think my sister never even knew that there was white chocolate in the jar on the table, I was too fast for her ;).

On Sunday we had such a lazy day. We slept late like we always do when we're on holiday and had a very Finnish breakfast: lots of coffee and rye bread and carelian pies with a spread made of eggs and butter, yummy! The weather was awful so the original plan of going to grand mom's garden to pick berries was postponed. Instead, I started with a new crochet project. My grand mom's favorite potholder is, of course, the green one that I made for her a year ago ;) She says that it's the only one that she doesn't burn her hands with - yeah right. Anyway, I decided to make her a new one.

My sister used the time well too. She is such a talented kid for what comes to baking - in less than one hour, she had baked two sets of multi-grain bread rolls for us. God they were good!

!!! I cant believe E can bake so well! Bah! I need the recipe :D Also, I am coming to your grandma's for the blueberry pie :D :D
ReplyDeleteps: LOL on the white chocolate :D :D I would wrestle with you for that!
Yeah, she's a talent. Ilkka always tells me that I should try to learn from her, but I guess I never will :D
ReplyDeleteThat white chocolate would really be worth a wrestle. It had pieces of blueberry and cookie crush in it, I think :P
Grandmom's always asking how you are. She thinks that you're such a nice girl and that you light up the atmosphere because you're always smiling :) How cute is that?? :)
