Writer's block...

I want to write. I have so many things I want to say. But some things are stopping me.

1) People being so critical
2) Me being so critical

Then of course time. Perfectionism. Laundry.

After having looked out the window for ten minutes I realize being 30 is not easy. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wanna be anything else than just 30 (right now) but everything I do right now, every choice I make right now seemes... well, not "life-changing" but rather... that it is defining what sort of life I'm heading for. I'm at a cross road.

Even with this little silly blogg.

And by the way, did you know that Sweden bought weapons (as a general word) for around 150 million swedish kronas (1 dollar aroud 7-8 kronas, right swedes?) from Israel during 2000-2004?

Did you know the swedish foriegn minister Laila Freivalds resigned?

And at last, what would you do? If you were a christian convert and your parents muslims, and your parents asked to bring your children for Eid celebrations where they would be a part of islamic traditions? Would you let them?

Things I ate during the first week after I just returned from Gaza

What can I say? Sorry Toot, I'm going all "swedish meatballs" this post. Here's what I ate after missing SWEDISH food for more than six months. You can only have so much of kebab and rice.
Yes, dear friends, this is what they look like, the famous swedish meatballs. Here with potatoes and a must, the lingonberries (för alla svenska läsare, jag har verkligen inte hittat på det ordet - det står verkligen så i Ordboken!).
Oh gosh, swedish chocolate. Mmmmm, Marabou! Really missed that!!
Smoked salmon, here with potatoe salad.
Another must, pancake. Here in the making!
For dessert, gingerbread biscuits.
Pickled herring on crispbread. Mmmm!
Blueberries! These are handpicked by my mother, then frozen so we can eat them with warm milk even during winter.
Let's finish this delicious post with a whole table of delicious food. Pickled herring, turkey, eggs with shrimps, tunaroll, for dessert "Ris a la Malta" (rice cooked with milk and cream) and "Äggost", a sort of cheesecake from egg and cheese.

Hungry yet?!
