Having a family with 6 children means a lot of vacuuming
When they have left for school it's the first thing I do.
And when in the evening visitors are expected,
Ill do it a second time.
There's always plenty of laundry.
So I "turn a laundry" at least once a day
and in the weekend about 4 or 5.
I sort piles of black nice clothing
washed with special liquid detergent;
piles of dark, like socks and denim;
Piles of grey;
pink and red;
and white underwear and stuff and
a pile of white nice clothing.
At the moment I have a laundry machine
that can take 5 kilo.
Wish I had a very large one!
Long ago I got a dryer
but all it does is to blow through the laundry.
So it's perfect for fluffing up cushions
and getting the wrinkles out of some clothes.
To get the laundry dry I have to bring it to the attick
or downstairs to hang it outside.
So I feel myself a laundry woman.
I Love making cake and appelpie.
My grandmother was famour for her cakes,
my father for his appelpies
and I have always tried to combine both.
A few tips?
A bit of rum through the mix of sugar and eggs
when making a cake.
Never for get the cinnamon,
and add sprinkle a little bit of a mix of
sugar and cinnamon over the applepie
just before it's ready.
I used to like cooking.
Once a week a friend came to enjoy a special dish,
and later the neighbouring friend hopped in for a bite
almost every other day.
Nowadays cooking isn't my favorite activity at all.
There are always children to watch during cooking
and there's always someone who doesn't like
the dishes that are made.
For over ten years there are two dinners at evening.
First because Lars came home later from the dance academy
and now because Jim arrives late and often Lars too.
