COOKIES

Last night Julie (www.juliewishau.blogspot.com) invited us all to her house in Malmö for a cookie exchange. So Jo, Rachelle, Stephanie and I got on the train at 13.27 to Malmö. It was rainy and cold and grey in Malmö but we spent about 2 hours on the town looking in shops. Luckily Julie and her host family were kind enough to let us come early! (17ish) I have to pay Rachelle back for this really cute jumper dress thing I got from H&M. As soon as we got to Julie's the sugar intake began. We started off nimbling on our own cookies and then drank loads of coffee or tea. At 19 the guests arrived bringing an array of cookies. For the better part of two hours around 20 girls all sat and drank glögg and chatted. It was very cosy. Julie's brother had just arrived yesterday from Chicago so it was nice meeting him. He was the only boy until 20.30ish when Tom and Ryota showed up.
We left at 21.21 because some other girls were taking the bus down to the main station also. We got to the screen with a list of rides and we could not find a single one with Helsingborg! We all panicked because we were afraid we'd be stuck in Malmö for the night!! Luckily we waited a few minutes and turns out the screen was just full. We had to wait for an hour though before we could get on the train! But we sat inside the terminal so it wasn't freezing cold. Four girls high on sugar is not good though. Rachelle danced for 15 minutes in her own world, Jo and Stephanie were having a field day with a Burger King toy, and I just sat through it all knitting. Oh dear. It was ironic though because Tom and Ryota even though they left probably at 21.45 got on the same train as us! Overall it was a nice day. I met some of Julie's friends and got out of Helsingborg for a day.
I made Nanaimo bars (that didn't taste like home but people adored them) and classic Snickerskaka.
