Even us Bagels get sick every now and then

Being sick sucks. Catching a cold, getting a fever, throwing up.. But occasionally it happens to everyone and then u just gotta live with it. The right food, however, makes it a little better.

A bagel gone bad


- Tea. Tea makes you feel warm and also helps the throat. Our favorite is green tea and thats really healthy too. When you're sick, tea is something you can always have - and sometimes its the only thing.
- Noodles. Perfect! Again, its hot and you really should prefer the spicy noodles cause they help with the flu. 
- Anything with vitamin C, meaning lemons oranges etc. They are the best. 
- Yogurt, we dont really understand why but its got some acid stuff bacteria etc. 
- Most importantly: water. As always ..

But hey if ur throwing up then dont eat anything. Just drink some coke.

Now its time for more food and Sex and The City. Later!

We pledge allegiance to the TV of Sweden

So nows probably a good time to tell u the truth about our spring break. It did involve food. Only not that we would've actually made any ourselves, but through TV we kinda stayed on the top of our game. You see in Sweden, they have this amazing channel that ensures that u dont have to go skiing at all ! In fact u can spend the entire holiday in the cottage. How great is that? They got Friends, OC, Big bang theory, Two and a half men, Ellen DeGeneres.. But here's the top 3 that really makes ur time worth while (and they all got something to do with food):

1) RACHAEL RAY
Every morning we got to listen to her oh so annoying voice and see her oh so inappropriate manners, but what do u know: the most fake show out there is pretty damn entertaining. Her recipes and "oops i forgot the onion"-style cooking suits for us, too.



2) Kitchen Nightmares
You dont wanna mess with Gordon. Or at least thats the impression we got when we listened to him put down every place with a frozen lasagna. Anyways its really exciting wondering whether the bitchy sous-chef is gonna get kicked out or if the big opening night of the improved restaurant goes well. But yeah this guy really cares about his food and has a nasty side too, even tho at first impression he does seem pretty nice. Dont be fooled like we were!

3) The Biggest Loser
WOW these people work hard. Even CSB got her favorites even tho she had a hard time feeling any sympathy towards people who've been eating nothing but cupcakes for the past 5 years. Anyways for the people in this show this is like their last resort, so in a week u really start to care about their progress, and it feels so good when they reach their goals or even exceed them. Watching this show is even more fun with some candy and pizza.














So our week wasnt all partying and skiing, in fact mostly it was watching these amazing food-related shows and some rich-kid-drama. But we enjoyed it,  and highly recommend these shows for u as well!

HEJA SVERIGE!


So for our winter holidays, us bagels went to Sweden with a few friends :) Our trip consisted of skiing, chilling and perhaps a bit of partying :) So that week were all on our own foodwise and we ate mostly-- crap :D Which is why this blognetry is not going to be about food. Before you go absolutely crazy reader, dont panic. Even though reading about food is entertaining and hilarious, we just dont want to bore you with stories about noodles anymore. (The noodles were crap btw, REMEMBER THIS IF YOU GO TO SWEDEN) So instead, we will tell you stories and show you pictures of what a fabulous and superfun trip we had :)

DAY 1 - HANGOVER

So we had our Wanhat before we left and traditionally after you have danced your wanhat..YOU PARTY! :) We did this at kaivohuone in Helsinki and here is the aftermath! (Our flight left 7am so we slept like.. for an hour?)


From left to right: Vegetarian bagel jr (he had a veggie pizza and the guys wouldnt stop teasing), Pear bagel (old inside joke about his body looking like a pear) and PRIPPS BLÅ BAGEL (pripps blå is a drink in Sweden... were not gonna tell you more)

After a sleepy flight and 6 hour car drive we made it to Sälen - our destination.
