This weekend we visited our friends Lennart and Beata, who live in Bromma in Stockholm. Instead of being invited for dinner (which we thought we would be), they wanted to invite us to their nearest sushi restaurant. We love sushi so we had absolutely nothing against it, but we didn't realise that we would be invited to what is perhaps the best sushi in Stockholm...!

Yesterday, when I came home from work, I thought that Peter would offer me a "normal" Friday dinner. Maybe salmon or cod or chicken or something like that. Talk about getting a surprise!

At the same time, we hope you'll share your favourite fish gratin recipes!

At best, you might think of a tasty, but predictable, "four small dishes" at a suburban restaurant with a red plush interior. That's not necessarily wrong in itself, but Chinese food can be so much more than that!

So, how good and nice can it be to go out to eat one evening? Last Saturday we joined Peter's eldest son Robin and his wife Alexandra, as well as Robin's mum, sister and sister's boyfriend, at a tapas restaurant in Stockholm. It was an evening of heavenly tapas, mango daquiris, juggling bottles and of course lots of talking and laughing.

On Christmas Eve we were invited to Peter's niece Dessi and her husband Lasse, who live on Blidö in the Stockholm archipelago, for a fantastic homemade Christmas dinner. Dessi is very interested in cooking and incredibly good at organising luxurious festive dinners for many.

The night before last it was time for Christmas dinner with my (Helena's) colleagues. Usually my colleagues don't want traditional Christmas food, and also three out of eight are vegetarians, so this year it was Lebanese Christmas dinner. Not against me if you say so!

Oh how many late nights there have been now! The night before last it was travel blog meeting and last night we had a seafood dinner with our good friends Peter and Eva. It's been two great evenings, but I have to admit that I'm really, really tired now as I write (at 01:30 Tuesday night).
