Today I want to share with you some interesting news. The
first of which concerns my friend George Clooney. If you have been following my
blog for a while then you know that I have a tendency to name my kitchen and
household appliances.

| Johhny Depp |
Good old George, my Nespresso machine, has moved to our
family cabin. It has been replaced by Johnny Depp. I wanted to name it Simon,
but my daughter convinced me that Johnny would better suit its more flamboyant
style. If you have seen the movie Chocolat,
then you know what I mean. My husband spent a small fortune on it which is
rather concerning since my taste for coffee has lost its appeal. How could that happen? The answer is that I quit
smoking. Coffee, beer and even wine has lost its appeal. Now all I want to do
is eat. Poor Johnny sits on the kitchen counter full of fresh coffee beans just
waiting to temp me with its rich dark liquid. I say to myself, “This must be a
phase I am going through,” but what if it isn’t? Could it possibly be that I am
turning into a tea drinker now? I shudder at all these unexpected changes in my
daily rituals.
Usually on Fridays I share some food with you. My posts in
the series, “What’s for Dinner Mom” is not always just about food. It is also
about family and sharing part of my family with you. Since I am having dinner
alone tonight, I thought today I would share with you a link to my daughter’s new blog called “Take a Chance.” If you are interested in reading about a Norwegian girls
college life written with an unusual and humorous perspective then you definitely
should check it out! Of course I read it just to find out what she is up to. As
it is with most parents, once your children hit a certain age, they tend to
forget to tell you things. I doubt keeping me informed was the reason she
started this blog but it suits me fine.

The college student is home for the week-end but busy with her friends, so today I am going to clean out my fridge and take a chance
for dinner. How about you? Hope everyone has a wonderful week-end!
