We’re women and we rock.. except for Alex who just isn’t
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Today is the international womens day and while I do appreciate it as a day for hanging out with friends and being able to nag at Alex to do things for me because of what day it is I still think it’s sick that we need this day every year to bring up issues of inequality and womanhood. It’s sick that women still get paid less for doing the same job and it’s sick that women have to work twice as hard to get the same cred men do. And don’t even get me started on rape, women’s health problems that go unnoticed because we need to just ‘go home and rest a little and take an aspirin’, how women are treated in school and sick beauty standards. Anyway, this is a food blog and I don’t want to rant much.
I celebrated being a woman today by hanging out with my sister and eating good food. We had a great time together.
Here’s Sofie in all her glory!

And here’s the gang at Sofie’s house. It’s Alex, Elin (a friend of Sofies) and Sofie herself. I was taking the picture of course..

And the food, omg the glory of the food. I bet cooking runs in the family because I’m not the only one that makes good food. We had borscht with home baked bread and hummus and some hemp seeds and tomatoes on top. It was delicious.

And for dessert we had raspberry cupcakes with litchi and mandarin frosting and some fruit salad. Putting litchi juice in the frosting was genius, it’s such an awesome flavour.
(And it looks damn good too!)
