Everyone have a good Easter/Passover weekend? I certainly did. Some good food, friends, walks in the city, pillow fights. I’ll show you!
And so it begins – the rotation of matzah breakfasts. Well, not every day, since fruit and green smoothies are still kosher for passover. Lucky for me, lax was on sale! I had half a piece with creamy goat cheese and lax, half with creamy goat cheese and jam. Cream cheese and jam is a childhood favorite. Seriously, try it!
I made a lovely / refreshing bean salad. Right now I’m too lazy to share a proper recipe. Sorry ( but not really…)!
On my active rest day I decided to walk from my place to Stockholm’s city center – about an hour. This weather is slightly deceiving, though, it was chilly and super windy!
Stockholm has lots of hills. Made of these rocks. It’s really cool!
The reason I went to the city – to watch Stockholm’s participants in the international pillow fight! The turnout was not nearly as impressive as NYC’s , but was still quite fun to watch.
When I got home that evening though, I was chilled to the bone, felt like crap, and could not stop sneezing! I spent the evening curled up sipping tea, and really hoping that it would pass the next day, since I was planning to run in the morning. Nope! Same thing happened all day, which led to me taking a second rest day in a row (gah!) and spending another night curled up sipping tea and hot water with honey and lemon.
Luckily I felt a million times better today, and got in a good 4.5 mile run this morning!
Going back to the weekend – Easter brunch with friends! Tons of good food, traditions from at least 5 different countries, and no shortage of chocolate.
This is some traditional Swedish thing they drink at Easter (Påsk = Easter, in Swedish). It tasted like a weird mix of coke and ice tea. It was weird. That is all.
You like my original post title? I’m feeling a little less than creative today. If you couldn’t tell.
What did you do this Easter weekend?
Ever participated in International Pillow Fight day?

I went to a wedding which was a lot of fun. I didn’t really get a proper Easter dinner since I was on the road but some things are just worth it! Anyways-that looks delish!

Ooh weddings are awesome! Totally worth it
I’m glad you had a lovely weekend! I did, too. I spent Easter with my family and it was great!
Looks like you had an awesome time with family! I’ve never heard of an international pillow fight, hehe

Sounds lovely, Devon!
We drink exactly the same thing at Christmas. Then it’s called “Julmust” and the bottles have Christmas pictures.
