MONDAY MORNING




















After the market I went back and had breakfast in the Cap; fresh croissants and marionberry marmelade that  Evan brought me from Seattle! Mmmmmmm!
Marionberry is a hybrid caneberry, similar to a blackberry.

Grey, but still a wonderful morning in Cap d'Ail.

ANOTHER DELICIOUS WEEKEND!

Waynes Bar

Birthday-Puccio and his russian brother...

The Doctor enjoying his swedish(!) salmon.



At Eilinn's you get a sugar heart attached to your espresso!

Birthday-pig

New bike!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANIEL!

Yesterday was Daniel's birthday, so Eilinn and I decided to make him a real Norwegian marzipan cake!

Second layer with blueberries, raspberries and fresh mint.
(The first layer was with rum cream, strawberries and bananas, but we forgot to take a photo..)

Rolling out the homemade marzipan


In search of perfection?

We are sooooo proud!!!

And if I may say so; it was DELICIOUS!
