<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I live my life partially in the 1930's and partially present day (and if I had a choice...). It's so bad that sometimes I feel like film archivist, TCM and I are really close friends (I'm dying for the day you replay <i>Way for a Sailor</i> by the way!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my very favourite 30's actresses is Jean Harlow, the original blonde bombshell. She had a fascinating screen personality that was shockingly sexual for the time and even now, though it may seem more obvious than we're used too, is relevant. Miss Harlow was also rather famous for refusing to wear undergarments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jean achieved her superstar status under contract to MGM in the 30's where she was often paired with Clark Gable (films such as: <i>Platinum Blonde, Red Headed Woman, Red Dust</i> and <i>Bombshell). </i> Post code she was famous for<i> China Seas, Wife vs. Secretary, Libeled Lady </i>and <i>Saratoga. </i>Her sudden death left what could have been her biggest role to be filled by Far Wray in<i> King Kong.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Conversely Jeans personal life wasn't so rosy. She eloped and moved to Los Angeles at 16 where she lived as a wealthy (and heavy drinking) socialite with her 20 year old husband off his inheritance. They eventually separated and she later married Paul Berns, who committed suicide while she was filming the movie <i>Red Dust</i>. Lastly, she was romantically involved with William Powell, though they were never allowed to marry (by the MGM studio managers) because her 'floozy' image would have been detrimental to his public persona. She died suddenly of undiagnosed renal failure at age 26. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jean Harlow was famous for her striking platinum hair and risqué style but personally was known for her sense of humour and kindness.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"> </span></span><br />

There's a place in Winnipeg that time forgot: Rae & Jerry's. And thank goodness! It's perfectly marvelous. Rae and Jerry's is a steakhouse from the late 50's and nothing, not the menu, not the interior, not the cocktail list, has been changed since then. If you ever feel like dolling yourself up Betty Draper style (and who among us doesn't?) then hitting the town this is the place to go. It has a special authenticity to those of us who grew up hearing about their grandparents good times there. The deep red hues and candlelight have a wonderful effect on my confidence, I can't help but feel a little more elegant the moment I walk in the door. And the food is simply great too!</div>

Smoked salmon is a staple of my family's holiday parties. It's there Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, a summer barbecue or just anytime we get together. Of course we had to have an evening that included smoked salmon when I was home recently. It's never been my favourite but I'm starting to warm up to it, perhaps since I've been exposed to so much gravlax (which I like an awful lot) here in Sweden? </div>

We also eat smoked goldeye, a fish local to the area of Canada I'm from. It's called 'goldeye' because of the iridescent red/gold colour it turns after smoking. It's a very intense smoked fish, if you're not a fan of smoked salmon then I suspect you won't like it. We serve both smoked goldeye and salmon with rye bread, butter, capers and onions generally. Sour cream, dill and lemon sometimes too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this particular evening we also had raw oysters, Swedish caviar and champagne! It was lovely.</div>

Lacy, silky, soft and wonderful. Beautiful underthings can give you so much confidence I think, sometimes they just make your day. Here are some of my current favourites!</div>

Our Thanksgiving turkey, a little belatedly. I'm not much of a carver, as you can see. It was delicious and juicy nonetheless! I credit the 24 hours of brining we did before roasting our bird. We've done this for time immemorial in my family and we haven't yet had a bad Thanksgiving (or Christmas!) turkey.</div>

I love the cookbook Jamie's Dinners, it's sort of my go to anytime I'm blanking on dinner ideas. There's nothing about it that's really flashy or eye catching but the more I use it the more I realize how realistic and wonderful the recipes are; they always work, they're never beyond my skill level and (most importantly!) they're always, always delicious. I especially love the way he cooks large pieces of meet, the method and ingredients tend to be simple and fresh but the result is terribly impressive (have I spoken of his roast beef? It's sort of legendary in my family). I made this lamb recipe this past summer on the barbecue but it works equally well in a regular oven (I like the barbeque since there's a little less clean up that way).</div>

<b>Roast Leg of Lamb with Chickpeas from Jamie's Dinners</b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; text-indent: 0px !important;">
1 leg of lamb, butterflied and opened up like a book<br />
1 teaspoon coriander seeds</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; text-indent: 0px !important;">
4 large cloves of garlic, peeled</div>

large bunch of fresh cilantro<br />
large bunch of fresh mint, chopped<br />
1 x 14 oz. can of chickpeas, drained<br />
salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />
juice of 1/2 a lemon (or more if you like lemons as much as me)<br />
1 x 500ml tub of natural yogurt<br />
12 baby turnips, scrubbed<br />
2 yams peeled and cut into large chunks<br />
a bunch of baby carrots, scrubbed, tops left on<br />
1 butternut squash, unpeeled, cut into 8 wedges<br />
2 red onions, peeled and quartered<br />
1 whole bulb of garlic, broken into cloves<br />
2 teaspoons ground cumin</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; text-indent: 0px !important;">
1 tsp cinnamon<br />
extra virgin olive oil</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; text-indent: 0px !important;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>in a food processor or using a mortar and pestle blitz/grind together : coriander (fresh & seeds), mint, garlic, chickpeas until they form a thick paste. Then mix in yogurt, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.</li>
<li>Sore the lamb on both sides. Add half the yogurt mixture to a large plastic bag and then add in the lamb. Seal the bag and massage the mixture into lam until the lamb is completely coated. Marinate in fridge like this for at least an hour or up to 24 hrs. Keep reserved yogurt mixture for later.</li>
<li>Set oven to 200C/400F. Place carrots, turnips, yams, squash, onions and garlic in a roasting dish. Drizzle on olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle on cumin seeds and cinnamon and mix so vegetables are well coated in oil and spices. Place in the oven on a lower rack.</li>
<li>Remove lamb from marinade and place directly on oven rack above roasting vegetables (so they catch all the delicious lamb drippings!). Smear reserved yogurt mixture on top of lamb so it is thickly coated on top. I like to save a little more to serve with later too).</li>
<li>Roast for about 1 hour. Stir the vegetables on or twice throughout (if they're aren't crisp enough on top leave them in under the broiler for a moment before serving).</li>
<li>Slice lamb and serve along side roasted vegetables and a little yogurt sauce!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"></span></li>
</ul>

I'm finally back in Sweden now and gosh it's a little gloomy. My irregular hours mean I see only about an hour of daylight and while I'm rather pleased to be developing a lovely porcelain pallor I'm afraid it's a bit hard to be as cheery as I'd like. Solution? Eggnog bubble bath, rosé champagne, a jazzy playlist and some online Christmas shopping! Yes, I'm already feeling better. I wish I could show my purchases but (hopefully!) my nearest and dearest read this and that would ruin their surprise. Here are some lovely gift ideas and decorations for the coming holiday season though!</div>

<b>Mushroom Quiche</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 cups mushrooms (I used swedish kantarellar)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6 eggs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 cup cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp dried thyme</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
salt & pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 cup grated västerbotten cheese (strong white cheddar would be a good substitute)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tbs butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
defrosted puff pastry (4 small sheets)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
juice of half lemon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>preheat the oven to 200C. Roll the puff pastry fairly thin and line 4 small metal pie dishes with it. It needn't be perfect, puff pastry always looks fine in the end.</li>
<li>set a frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Sauté the mushrooms in the butter for 3 minutes then add salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Fry 1 more minutes then remove from heat.</li>
<li>Divide the mushrooms evenly between the 4 pie dishes.</li>
<li>Beat together the eggs, then add in the cream, thyme, salt and pepper, and grated cheese. Mix well.</li>
<li>Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms into the pie dishes, then place the pies in the oven. Bake 20-25 minutes.</li>
</ul>

I'm going home to Canada tomorrow for a nice long three week visit and a belated Thanksgiving! I'm so excited to see my family, friends and pugs again! I can't wait to eat too much turkey, tromp around the woods with my little pugs and introduce Swedish snaps to my home. Oh, and we're planning a little trip to Banff as well!</div>

Pelikan is a traditional Swedish restaurant here in Stockholm, and a favourite of mine. It's comfortably worn wooden interior, flickering candles in brass holders and waistcoated waiters feel satisfyingly old world and rather cozy. It's definitely a place for beer and snaps. Pelikan serves traditional Swedish dishes (meatballs of course!) and is well known for their boiled pork knuckle. Boiled pork knuckle? Yup, it's delicious. If not super attractive. I opted for the roast lamb with red wine/rosemary sauce and apples and root vegetables. And then we continued on with punsch on ice and coffee, perfect ending!</div>

Brunch at Marie Laveau in Stockholm. Eggs Benedict and fried mushrooms, fish tacos, mimosas and French 75's. I've been there for dinner before but this is the first brunch. They're cocktails and southern food don't disappoint! They've also got a really cool little bar. We're definitely coming back.</div>

This is a wonderfully healthy, delicious and easy recipe of Jamie Olivers that has evolved and become a regular part of our recipe repertoire. The flavours are so strong and vibrant, I crave this every time I see a tomato. So, like everyday. Another great thing, the leftovers can easily be made into a lovely soup! Just remove the chicken and purée the rest, heat up, add boullion to taste then and throw back in the chicken. I feel very proud of myself after this, more than is warranted I'm sure.</div>

2 yellow onions, 1 quartered and 1 sliced<br />
1 bunch oregano, roughly chopped<br />
olive oil<br />
salt and pepper<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>preheat the oven to 400F (200C) </li>
<li>in a large oven proof dish (with a lid), place the potatoes, then the onions, garlic, oregano and tomatoes. Pour on a couple glugs of olive oil then stir together a bit. Place the chicken thighs in the pot on top of everything and pres in a little. Top with another glug of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. </li>
<li>place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes with the lid on, then 30 with the lid off, stirring slightly before putting on the lid. Make sure the potatoes are nice and soft. This is how long it took with my gas oven, it may be different with an electric oven, keep an eye on it!</li>
</ul>

Here's the meatball sandwich I had for lunch (maybe breakfast, maybe I didn't get up til 2). I love meatball sandwiches and they're about a thousand times better with homemade meatballs and beet salad like this.</div>
