Pet meeee!

Pinga was in front of her computer and didn't pet me so I decided to jump on to her desk. Since she couldn't reach her keyboard with me in between, she took me to her lap. I'm happy to get petted.

Pumpkin carving


Pingu was home alone while Pinga was out this weekend doing team buidling activities with her company. Pingu went to visit a friend for Good Bad movie night but before watching they carved pumpkins. Pingu carved the one on the right. They turned out nice, right? Pingu ate too much candy but else it was lots of fun.

Lots of cooking

Pinga and her colleagues were making dinner together. There were 5 teams and Pinga's team was in charge of making one of the main courses, baby back ribs. This photo shows deer (hjort in Swedish) meet and sauce to it. it became so much food and lots of dishes to wash afterwords. All of the dishes turned out to be very tasty!

Gärsnäs Castle

Pinga took a photo from one of the windows at the Gärsnäs castle. The castle didn't look so big from outside but she found it very spacious with many many rooms inside.

Krabbelurer

After the tour of Glimmingehus, Pinga and colleagues came back to the castle they were staying and cooked Krabbelurer. It was initially planned as an outside activity but it was too rainy and cold to be out. It's like American pancake. Some of them turned out to be well but some of them got a bit burnt. They ate them with jam and whipped cream. It became their late lunch.

Guided tour

It's the entrance of the house with our guide person in a medieval costume. She was fun, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Glimmingehus

Pinga went to a medieval house built by a Danish noble man at the beginning of 16th century. Guided tour was very interesting with the stories of that time.

Meatball dinner


This is what Pingu and Pinga had for dinner tonight. Pingu mashed the potatoes by hand. I am impressed!

Meatballs?

Pinga is frying up some meatballs for dinner. One escaped and Pingu gave it to me. I must admit that the smell is intriguing but I am not hungry for them.
