‘There are seven different kinds of weather on one autumn night.’ – Icelandic Saying

This past weekend was full of stormy thunder and wind, and I’m feeling the cold rain under the grey sky and longing to stay in for a warm gathering of friends and coffee. I’m even game for celebrating with another Thanksgiving Feast. Do you feel that way?

I’m imagining you visiting on this cool changeable fall weather day with a fire burning bright and warm, and we can sit and talk. I’m thinking about making Pönnukökur, thin and delicate, rolled with brown sugar and folded in quarters and filled with jam and whipped cream. I can smell the sweet pancakes in the air mixing with the fresh coffee already as I anticipate your arrival. Of course, this is lots to eat, and yet I´m thinking we really need at least seven different things for our afternoon coffee. So I’ll add some Brown Bread, Cheese, Rúllupylsa, Hangkjöt, Sætsúpa Sweet Fruit Soup with fresh apples from the garden, and Vínarterta.

This picture was taken in the Westfjords of Iceland. I was enthralled with the clouds simultaneously above and below the mountains and the sea below was the same colour as the sky. It had been raining fiercely on that narrow gravel road, and at times as we traveled the edges of the fjords into land and then back to ocean it looked as if we just might go straight into the sea. And then the sun came out. It was wonderous.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures and stories when you visit. 🙂
