Nice winter walk
I was very happily surprised that this great area is so close to where we live. I am sure that we will come here many times. It ought to be real nice here in once spring arrives also. It was close, easy to get here, and no problem to find parking once we got there. No entrance fees required as in most state parks in the US.
We took a nice and long walk. Starting to walk around the frozen lake but then we decided we would walk on the ice to be able to walk in the sunshine. The lake was deep frozen so that was no problem at all and there were lots of people with their kids out on the lake.

Idag
Det har varit en rätt fin dag idag. Halvklart med en del sol och blå himmel. Jag gillar detta kyrktorn man kan se från våran altan.

Fredagstema - IS
Is kan var uppfriskande och gott. Under de heta sommarmånaderna i Alabama ville man ha kall dryck. Amrisarna är galna i is. De ska ha mycket is i alla sina drycker nästan jämt. Varje hem och hushåll har en ismaskin i kylen. Det hade vi också i huset men inte i lägenheten vi bodde i sista tiden. Där fick vi allt göra iskuber på gammalt hederligt sätt. Men jag saknar INTE våran kyl med is i dörren för den där ismaskinen tog bra mycket plats och med tanke på att frysen vi hade där var smal och trång som den var så fanns inte mycket plats kvar till annat i själv frysen.

Comfort Food and Cozy Fridays
This was a word that was new to me when I moved to the US but that I quickly learned the meaning of. Now for the first time I have seen it here in Sweden in a cooking magazine that I bought last week. Comfort Food in Swedish. It is defined as food or dishes that make you feel at home, that make the cold winter more cozy. In this article the cooked and listed Swedish meatballs, Kalops that is a kind of meat stew, macaroni casserole and Panini sandwiches. Comfort food is connected to warm memories and childhood moments. I think that one should also add Falu sausage on the list of Swedish comfort food. It is another one of those things that almost every Swede loves and eats. I also guess that comfort food may differ depending on different parts of the country here as well as in the US. What are your comfort foods /dishes?
