...HERE!
Busy Like A Bee19.06.09
I have been busy since I arrived back home. Lots of stuff to attend to plus we got a visit from our friend, Eric who is from Hawaii. Good thing Odd and I managed to accomplish most of it and I already secured my seat at the film and media school.
And next week, we’re off to Fredrikstad (Odd’s home city) to visit his parents and attend a wedding in Oslo as well since it’s just an hour away. Hopefully, we can see the Gay Pride parade in Oslo while at it.
Anyway, here are some pictures and a recipe to go.
Ingredients:
Spinach leaves
6 large new potatoes
Grated cheese (I used a light Norwegian cheese on this one)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
1. Wash the spinach leaves and the potatoes thoroughly. Set the spinach leaves aside.
2. Boil the potatoes with their skin on until they are cooked. (To check and see if the potatoes are done, carefully remove one from the water. Poke a fork through the potato. If it slides through easily, the potatoes are done. If not, wait a few more minutes and try again.)
3. Once the potatoes are done, take them out to dry then cut them into large chunks carefully as they break apart quite easily.
4. Place the potato chunks on a rectangular pyrex glass (if you don’t have that a deep baking pan will do). Distribute them evenly on the surface.
5. Once done, drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, pepper and oregano.
6. Top the potatoes with the spinach leaves then lastly the grated cheese.
7. Place inside the oven with a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius for 10 to 12 minutes.
Serves 5 to 6 persons.
That’s all.

You can never go wrong with potatoes. Cheese, spinach and potatoes – surely a winning combination.
I like the looks of this Chase. Have you tried spinach on salmon? Someone made it for me years ago and I really enjoyed it.
Man, that looks good — and it’s not even baked yet.
Bergen, where you can take a ship to cruize the fjords!
Great!
Have a nice w-e!
You guys are looking good, great to see you together again.
I’m happy to comment on your very professional blog again.
But most of all, you are back home again – Hurray
And I think your way of cooking is very alike what we do.
As allways, I love your blog.
Sorry for my absence as commentor. Job and Job.
btw, Er dere ofte i Fredrikstad? Kjører bil over fjellet?
Vel, vi bor jo på ruten ( Hurumlandet – frem til oktober), om dere kjører via Drammen og RV 23.
Om ingen andre gjester er her, kan der få eget hus til å overnatte.
Vi tilbyr det samme – der det er hjerterom, er det husrom
Chase, it makes me so happy to see you happy!
And that looks good — even before it’s cooked! I bet it’s even better after you’re done cooking it.
Good to see you back home as a good chef again! Hope to see you next week
This sounds like a yummy recipe….Glad to know you are back in Norway and that you and Odd are very much together. When is your Wedding?? (Or did I miss it?)
Thanks for your visit and comments on my Fremch Trip—I posted a “farewell to frannce” post early this A.M. This will be the last of that series….
Awwww…. You two looks so happy in that photo! You’re glowing! How great to see that you really are at home now and can get on with your life.
Sounds like you have such a great time too, I hope the summer will be as great!!!!
We’re leaving the 2d of July for Fårö – 4 weeks as usual and then 4-10 we’ll be in France together with Tor, Anna, Renny & Diane visiting Claudie. After that we’ll drive around by ourselves the 11-18th. *so excited*
I’m going to be trying that recipe tomorrow for lunch. I’d try it now, but unfortunately lack the spuds and I’m having a lazy day where I really don’t want to leave the couch.
Oh.. and Netchick sent me. She’s good like that. She also says hi!
Yummy recip… I’ll be making that for my veggie DIL.
BTW, it’s Gay Pride week here in Toronto this week…. and there’s a garbage strike threatened!
Nice looking blog (I really like your opening page!). I am going to have to try that recipe-simple, easy and it looks delicious. Here from Netchick who also says hi!.

Let this not disturb my visits to your splendid blog, but I’m a bit confused how to find your latest post. May be I’m too traditional in my thinking.
However, your posts are allways creative and interesting.
I’m sorry I did not know you were in Oslo this weekend (even though I suspcted).
Anyway – we had visitors here in the Summer house, and tomorrow new visitors are coming, and I have to finnish my organisations new web-solution. Lot’s of pages to be transferred.
Our weekend:

Hi Chase,
U and Odd look good together in that 1st pic!
It’s been a long time I haven’t returned a favor to you.
Thanks for always visiting my site for my bitching updates.. lol!
TC!!!
How cute is that giant cat! And you and Odd too of course
Jeg er blitt anbefalt av en felles bekjent ,TorA, om å spørre om litt datahjelp her inne. Men først av alt vil jeg gratulere med bryllupet og jeg hadde faktisk tittet på bildene før jeg kom innom bloggen. Vi har felles kjente på Facebook også som hadde kommentert på bildene der!
Når det gjelder problemet mitt, så ha jeg full forståelse for hvis du ikke kan hjelpe eller ikke har tid, men jeg spør nå likevel:
Problemet er bloggrollene på blogspot blogger. (og kanskje andre blogger også). Når noen vil legge meg til på bloggrollen sin, så får de opp denne meldingen:
“Finnes ingen innmatning for denne nettadressen. Blogginnlegg og tidspunkt for oppdatering vises ikke. Legg til nettadresse likevel?” ‘
Hvis de velger å legge meg til likevel, så blir jeg liggende nederst på listen og den klatrer ikke på listen når jeg oppdaterer…
Jeg har sett på innstillingene på bloggen min, men kunne ikke se at noe var galt der – men hva vet jeg???’
Noen tips?
Jeg legger nesten alle innlegg inn via Live Writer, men det er det jo mange som gjør.
Du er jo ganske dreven på data etter det TorA sier og det er greit å få andre til å synse llitt også. Kanskje jeg har stirret meg blind på blogginnstillingene mine:)
Jeg har to blogger: http://petuniablogg.blogspot.com og http://abctema.blogspot.com.
Det er bare på Petuniabloggen det er problemer – ABC bloggen legger seg fint inn på bloggrollen til folk. Så vidt jeg kan se, så er innstillingene på disse to bloggene identiske, men som sagt – jeg kan ha stirret meg blind.
Nå ha jeg skrevet hele kommentaren på norsk, selv om bloggene og de fleste andre kommentarene er på engelsk. Jeg håper det går greit. Jeg er like dårlig i engelsk som jeg er på data!!!
Ha en strålende helg!
thanks for showing your pics———–
happy to know you´re together again………..closed in one place.
Take care and God bless
looks great! one of my favorite breakfasts is briefly stirfried spinach. you set it aside on a plate to keep warm, then fry an egg till the edges are crispy. The egg goes on top of the spinach, and it’s quite wonderful.
