My post for In My
Kitchen this month is quite dominated by my shopping from Norway, and
also much more sweet than usual. However the first picture with the double rainbow is a view from my kitchen at home. I didn't buy that much this time on holiday,
but found some nice products to take with me back home nevertheless.
I'm sharing this post with Lizzy from Good Things for
this month's In My Kitchen edition.
I fell in love
with this little cow character from Litago's chocolate milk
cartons in Norway. The milk was very tasty as well, but don't you
think that the cow in its wellies is very nice.
Of course I had to
buy some crisp breads, while travelling in Norway. It's
possible to get quite decent crisp breads in the shops here, but the
Scandinavian ones are just the best.
We
also got some Ægir Brewery's beers and
a beer glass to take home with us. I'm saving the beers for a while
for a special occasion and the glass is really nice as well. Have a
look a my Ægir post
as well, if you are more interested about the brewery.
I got a big bag of
Skolekridt, or better known as Liitulaku to me,
liquorice sweets filled with salty liquorice at the Oslo airport.
They are made by the Finnish company Fazer and they are already my
childhood favourites. They look like actual chalk for chalk board,
but definitely taste much much better!
Another airport
buy was a larger packet of Fisherman's Friends that my partner
likes.
Several bags of
the veggie friendly Colin the Caterpillar fruit gums went to
Norway with us as a travel snack. These fruit gums that also come as
sours are very good, and I'm so happy that a gelatine free
supermarket sweets range is available consistently in this country. I
really adore Colin.
Recently
my mum sent me some Finnish chocolate, Fazer's Salty Toffee
Crunch in Milk Chocolate, and
also some nice xylitol chewing gums. I've been enjoying these products very much.
A set of two
vegetable tea towels from Ikea are also newcomers to my
kitchen. New tea towels are always welcome here.
After a little
while I again managed to find cloveless garlic, which I really
like. It's quite a juicy and fragrant garlic variation, and also a
little bit more convenient to chop, as there's only one larger clove.
Seasonal squashes
in all shapes and forms have been in my kitchen and will continue to
do so for a while yet. I've been cooking soups, stews, pasta dishes,
anything really with them.
I hope you enjoyed
this little peek into my kitchen.
Your VegHog
Very nice!!

Haha I can imagine! I just wanted to be more economical this time and just buy a few foodie things. :)
DeleteWow, cloveless garlic. Amazing. I love your rainbow and also the cow on that milk carton. Thank you for the very kind shout out and for the peek into your November kitchen XX
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting the event Lizzy! Cloveless garlic is indeed fascinating and I'm a garlic fan anyway. I also agree about the rainbow and the cow. :)
DeleteThat double rainbow is totally amazing. You captured such a perfect view of it. Your Norway items are very nice. We tried a few Norwegian supermarket items when we visited there a year or so ago. I love seeing everyone's kitchen collections. My Novermber kitchen is here:

Thank you Mae! I will also have a peek into your kitchen.
Deletecute pumpkins and cute cow in wellies! I really love your top photo too. I am fascinated by cloveless garlic - did not know it was a thing. And I love new tea towels too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Johanna! I only ever see cloveless garlic in Finland, and now I found it in Norway, I don't think I've never seen it in the UK. It's really good though.
DeleteHow cute is that milk container!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just! :)
Deleteso many good things in your kitchen as always - do love having a peek. I haven't been to Ikea for a while. The double rainbow photograph is marvellous, what a wonder really its breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see a rainbow or a spectacular sky from my window, I drop everything and run to the balcony or outside with my camera. Sometimes I'm lucky like with this picture. :)
DeleteI don't go that often to Ikea, but I just thought that I ought to check out their 2016 Christmas stuff soon.
Gorgeous little cow on the milk carton! And a beautiful array of squashes! Thanks for showing us your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your nice comment Marcellina!
DeleteThank you for sharing your double rainbow shot... it's gorgeous! I'd never heard of "cloveless garlic." (Definitely more handy than peeling each clove.) I also like your tea towels -- very cheerful -- and your bounty of squash.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim!
DeleteAnther gorgeous view from a kitchen window. You were lucky to capture it on film, it would make a nice framed photo. I had never heard of cloveless garlic either (mirroring other posts), sounds very useful. Autumn is definitely here with all those winter squashes.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for having a look into my kitchen Liz!
DeleteWhat a beautiful rainbow shot. The chocolate milk container is adorable, I could see my boys drinking lots of that! The veggie towels are wonderful, I will have to check our IKEA to see if we have them here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Gretchen!
Deletea very interesting haul in your kitchen. yes those sweets do look like chalk. and how about that cute cow? i love it. and such a beautiful rainbow. i have never heard of nor seen cloveless garlic. is it a new invention? is it very strong? i guess not..
ReplyDeleteI think that cloveless garlic or solo garlic is more used in Asia, but it's just a different garlic variation. It's a bit milder than normal garlic and I find it therefore very practical and nice to use.
DeleteWhat a beautiful view from your kitchen window, that double rainbow is gorgeous. I love you towels, especially the dotty one, from Ikea, I'll have to keep my eye out for those here in Melbourne. Cloveless garlic!? I can honestly say I've never heard or seen anything like it, do they grow them specifically or are they 'cloned'. You must love garlic, that seems too much for me to have in one dish :) Did you from those pumpkins, I mean squashes? They look delicious, I'm sure you'll create some beautiful dies using them. Lovely to meet you for IMK x

Thank you so much for your comment! As I mentioned in the comment above, the cloveless garlic is a bit milder than regular garlic, so this piece isn't too much for a large dish. However I really do love garlic, so maybe I'm a bit partial here. I will have a peek into your kitchen as well. :)
