I'm cooking a meal for two friends next week and one of them gave me a lovely Scandinavian cookbook,
Scandilicious, so I'm going to cook some things out of it. That gave me an excuse to order some bits and pieces from the
Scandinavian Kitchen, a shop in Great Titchfield St in London that also does mail order.
I only had one or two things in my 'basket' to start with but then I got to the checkout and saw the delivery price. So I thought, I'll just see how many more things I can get before the delivery charge goes up. I added some jam, two more packets of spelt crispbreads (soooooo good), all the time checking the delivery cost, some chocolate, another box of crunchy cereal -- still the same. In the end I thought I'd better stop as that wasn't a very rational way to shop, but it meant I had quite a few nice things in the box when it came. I wonder what the rosehip soup will be like..? The 'Plopp' chocolate bars were to make the kids laugh.

| Jarlsberg and fennel muffins |
I'm going to do a soup with these cheesy muffins, then something with a couple of posh salads and maybe ice cream for pudding if I can get an ice-cream machine this weekend. I feel an ice-cream maker is something that will add a little happiness to all four of our lives, so why not?
Chrissie, if you're still looking for a recipe for semla buns, there's one in this book so I could send it to you...
