my swedish classes have started this week, and i am just in love. the people are from ALL over the world and are amazing! the teacher is a swedish rockstar! she is much fun! i have finally learned a bit of sentence structure that has been bothering me since i started swedish! [for those who care....TOM IN BOSTON, I KNOW YOU'LL LIKE THIS!]
1. verbs and subjects are ALWAYS placed together. [rockstar teacher says they are IN LOVE and desperately need to be together.]
[på klockan åtta GÅR [verb!] JAG [subj] till busshåll.]
if a verb starts the sentence then it will always be a QUESTION.
[Arbetar [VERB!] du här i Sverige?]
and rule number three:
the verb will always be the SECOND part of the sentence.
[jag duschar [VERB!#2] dig.]
i feel like ive drank a bottle of love potion number 9! everything makes so much sense!
so these are some of the little tags i have around the house. there needs to be an update soon.
+ then we just HAD to make something yummy for valentines days! so i translated mrs tuckers white velvet cookies into, "VITA VALENTINE KAKOR."
i also introduced the kids to AMERIKANSKA PANNKAKOR! american pancakes! we had them for dinner, and we made raspberry and chocolate chip and mickey mouse pancakes! complete with a bottle of maple syrup i spent running around stockholm to find!
and i just never want to spend money when i have it..its SO PRETTY!
xoxo.
p.s. tell babci i have her valentines card on my desk next to me!

Oh Wowee those cookies look beautiful!! Did the kiddies love them or what!!
I absolutely love the pics of the cookies!Beautiful! Seeing that I do pay attention to detail (it's just one of the fun things about me)I happen to notice that your cookies seem to be all white without even a touch of tan around the edges. Way to go Collette! That's the way they are supposed to be. I gave this recipe to my step-daughter and STRESSED that she needs to bake them until set NOT browned (or even a little shade of tan). I made some and just brought some down to Nathan & Andrea, she wanted to take a picture of them, so if she does, I will forward that to you. I would love to make one of these recipies, the one that say (just make it) not sure about the measurements. Please advise.
Best to you and your "little bakers"

Those are the best looking cookies ever! You are definitely master of the dessert kitchen over there by now, aren't you??
Mmmmm!!

Could you imagine Jan telling us that the verb and noun are in love and must always be together? That's the only way we would have had more fun in Svenska kvällskurs!
