Sorry for not posting the recipe for the meatballs, yesterday. I did a quick sketch in the comments, but I was so tired last night when I posted... besides, meatballs is one of those things that I never, ever measure - I have to really try next time, to give you guys a more accurate recipe.
Today is a very nice sunny autumn day - it's a bit windy and cold, but the sky is clear and blue. Baby Titus is still asleep (yes, at 10 am!), but we have a nice walk planned for later.
I know most of us are gearing up for heavier, heartier meals, but I have a few late-summery ideas to share so bear with me. This quinoa salad comes from Ingrid Hoffman's book Simply Delicioso which is a really fun latin-style cookbook. We served this along with some other salads (more recipes to come, I promise) and a selection of grilled sausages. Perfect for a family celebration!

Hi Anne!
I found your blog while looking for a Swedish shortbread recipe (does this even exist?) I love quinoa (so I will definitely try this recipe, but please do post the Swedish meatball recipe. I've always wanted to make those!
Pastry chef - there is!! "mördeg" is a swedish sort of shortbread, and very popular for cookies. Theres no obe recipe though, I've seen many variations. Some with eggs, some without. Email me if you want me to dig out a few for you.
Quinia and orange sounds like a perfect combination! This is definitively the way I will cook quinoa next time. It sometimes tends to taste a little bitter and I think orange is a god way to avoid this probelm.
