The view from our table… Villa Kivi


“Completed in 1890, Villa Kivi was first used as a summer villa of the Helsinki upper class and Finland’s first president K. J. Ståhlberg, among others,

lodged there for some time.

Today, the villa is a meeting place for writers’ associations

and provides a peaceful oasis for writers to work.”

While in Helsinki my mother cooked excellent dinner 4 us!
First we had pink sparkling with a strawberry, nam!

We ate yammy salad and two different kind of fish and white wine…

Helsingissä ollessani äitini kokkasi tapansa mukaan erinomaisen illallisen!
Ensin otettiin pinkkiä kuplivaa mansikalla, kippis!

Söimme kahta eri tavoin tehtyä maukasta kalaa ja joimme valkkaria…


a sparkling pink with a strawberry…
kuohuvaa pinkkiä mansikalla…

did you know that a spoon in a bottle keeps the bubbles in it? we tried but we don’t know if that is true because we finished the bottle quite fast! :)
(or was it only me, not we?…hih…)

Do you know if that’s true or not?

tiesittekö, että lusikka pullossa pitää kuplat sisällä? ei pääse karkuun vaikka pullon on auki…en tiedä onko totta koska joimme pullon tyhjäksi aika nopsaan! :)
(vai olinko se yksin minä joka joi tyhjäksi?…hih…)

Tiedätkö onko tuo tarua vai totta?

Semiramis InterContinentalissa!

Tällä kertaa nautimme antimista The Grill -ravintolassa.

Kaikki oli mahtavaa – jälleen kerran!
Erikoiskiitokset Mr. Ahmed!
