The best kind of dessert.




This is one of the things I love most about living in a house with a garden: that I can just go outside, barefoot, and pick my own berries to eat with vanilla icecream.

These berries are called "smultron" in Swedish - they're sort of tiny, wild strawberries, they're absolutely delicious and my garden is covered with them. Being a city girl up until a year and a half ago, I can't even wrap my head around the luxury of having dessert waiting for me right outside my front door!

  6. It's called "szamóca" in here, and it's my favourite too. We have them in our garden, and it's really the most delicious fruit. When I was in boys scouts (or how do they call this, when there're girls too?? I think just "scouts". :]) I managed to name my patrol "szamóca", I loved them so much. I mean the fruit, because I hated the scouts.. :D

  9. Oh wow, that looks amazing. The square shape of the ice cream reminds me of this stuff we used to get at summer camp.

  11. Smultron is the best berries ever. After raspberries.

  12. Those wild strawberries grow all over my backyard, along with raspberries and blackberries. They're so adorable and sweet - I'm definitely going to have to pick some and try them with ice cream now!

  14. I lived in the country (in Texas near Austin) for about a year and a half, myself, when I was fifteen. Unfortunately, the clay dirt made it impossible to grow anything that wasn't a weed, or cactus!

  15. This is very coincidental, I just went outside (barefoot) and picked all of our wild strawberries and ate them, unfortunately though, not with vanilla ice cream. :)

    xo,

  18. indeed, that is one of the best things about living in a house with a yard! however, these delicious berries you pictured are wild where I live and can only be found in forests :( or very pricey at the market
