when its cold and gray outside there's nothing quite like the warm embrace of an ikea. swedish meatballs, sparkling pear juice, and an afternoon filled with wandering through a slightly too warm warehouse full of fake apartments and make plans to redecorate and reorganize that i will never follow through on. bonus points if you walk around so long you get hungry again and grab a $2 hot dog for the road.
i love their meatballs and dont feel the need to buy homewares right now but just feel the urge to bask in this gravy that comes from a powder mix and these mashed potatoes that come from a powder mix and the lingonberry jam which adds the acidity and sweetness needed to balance all the flavours… its culinary perfection actually!
this is one of this annoying things that actually makes a difference and makes your mom say I told you so. there's something about a made bed that makes me feel like my life is just that little bit more together and getting into a made bed at night is one of my top 10 favorite mundane experiences.
potatoes, oysters, mussels, beaches, dunes, lush fields, childhood dreams of anne of green gables fulfilled. amazing food, incredibly kind people, and beautiful landscapes. truly what more can you ask for.
