Market Day

Today we visited Hötorgshallen - an indoor food market in central Stockholm.  We bought some Oxtail as I am planning to make an Oxtail Potjiekos tomorrow.

The recipe I am going to try out can be found here:

After wandering around the hall we walked around Stockholm for a little bit.  All the streets have been decorated with their Christmas lights.

It was -8C in Stockholm today, so we didn't wander around empty handed for very long.  We went to Chokladfabriken for my favourite of favourite indulgences...hot chocolate made from pieces of chocolate melted with steamed milk and flavoured with a Rum Ball.  Yum...I had a white chocolate one again.  Next time I think I'll have to give the Milk Chocolate one as the OH tried it and was suitably impressed.

Make mine a White Hot Chocolate, please!

We went into Stockholm today.  We wandered around Sergels Torg.  It's amazing that there are still so many tourists in Stockholm...in November.  Always after a day like today I think that we must do it again soon...and then months go by, and the thought of actually going into Stockholm for the day gets less and less appealing.   This time though we will be going into town again soon - we have friends coming to visit and so it was good today to be reminded of some of the interesting sights to show them.


We went to the Tudor Arms for lunch today - Steak & Mushroom Pie - yum yum!  Washed down with a Stella Artois pint.  The place was as busy as ever, but I think the food was better this time than last time.  


After lunch we took a walk to Chokladfabriken (The Chocolate Factory) for a little dessert.  I tried out a White Hot Chocolate - ooooh!  Now I want another one.
