NYC, and some christmas candy
You find the recipe for knäck here.
So I recently came back from a trip to NYC with my mum. It had been a dream of mine to go there for a couple of years and now I finally got the opportunity. My expectations were exceeded by far and I felt at home so fast. I miss the athmosphere, the pulse, the food, the mixture of different cultures .. even the subway!
It may sound cheesy but we really had a splendid time.
