Sunday
Today we went to the largest store in northern Europe. I've seen bigger, but I've never seen a place so CROWDED! I was getting claustrophobic! But everything was supper cheep and I was able to get some cheep candy and clothes. After that we went home, and then we did some mushroom hunting! It was fun and the mushrooms tasted really good :D
And about the house we stayed in, because it was really cool. It is a really old house made the old fashioned way, and it has this really special Swedish stove in it. The stove is this huge thing made out of bricks and covered in really cool looking ceramic, the pipe going out of the stove winds through the bricks. Because the pipes are twisted the hot air doesn't escape straight up and because they are surrounded by bricks the bricks get heated up and that makes it hotter longer. It's a really cool way to heat a house.
Yummers! I remember how delicious fresh-picked mushrooms tasted when cooked in butter then served over toast.
ReplyDeleteI also liked your pictures of the antique tile stove/firebox that your family uses to heat the rooms with. It would be cool (or warm) to have one of those here.
