Thanksgiving 2011... i Sverige

I cooked my very first turkey this past Sunday and am happy to report it turned out really well.

Det känns som första gången...

A flood of memories and excitement washes over me whenever I listen to this song.

...ja hör du hur dom sjunger?

Ohhh, sometimes I get a good feeling...

Sweden's clean, crisp air and natural beauty never cease to amaze me.

I recently stumbled upon my now favorite "park" in Lund (which also happens to be a cemetery) while out running. Before I knew it, I spent nearly an hour just walking around enjoying the peace and quiet while reading headstones.

Here in Sweden, I definitely appreciate when the places I visit feel deserted (only running into a handful of people along the way) yet they are always immaculately maintained - this cemetery being no exception.

 

Thank you Jesus!

I was running low on my Sriracha (brought a big bottle with me from home) but luckily, I was able to buy a new one at the larger supermarket in the international aisle. It's amazing how this sauce from Rosemead is shipped to even the most far-flung parts of the world.

Cold, grey and beautiful - part II.
