American cupcakes and whisky/whiskie...

In Sweden it is a great tradition to celebrate "Valborgs evening", which represents the end of April and the real beginning of the spring. The Swedes have a strong tradition for this, and the most important part of that is: Making a huge bonfire and getting loaded...
We skipped the bonfire...
A very close friend of ours had invited us to dinner (which I had to prepare!) and tasting of more or less good whisky/whiskies. That was the responsibility of Alex and our friend. You do what You do best :-)
The menu was created with american style: after a dish with avocados and scrimps we had barbecue chicken-wings creamed corn and sweet potatoes, for dessert a tropical fruit-sallad with chocolate and finally cupcakes with chocolate-frostingsand the stars and stripes on top. Here we found out, that "Jim Bean" is NOT our first choice! But we had it along just to have a "ground zero" - a point of reference.


To make sure, that I could continue living healthy despite an evening in "sin", I did the next step in my training-programme: 10 minutes of "power-walking" + 15 minutes of normal running + 10 minutes of walking and stretching. My body actually handled the "Day after" very well!

In the weekend before Valborgs evening we trained all the dogs, but ufortunately we had a flat tire :-(
Shit happends! But the dogs still did a great job, they still have a huge heart for running, though it is in the late season and the weather is getting warmer and warmer.
