Which sounds like a Swedish tune played during one of those Scandinavian police dramas** I have been watching recently. But it isn’t - it is the name of crackers from IKEA.
These are really tasty with cheese and pickles or paté [or Nutella or peanut butter – but such decadence is not to be enjoyed too frequently!]
The problem is the packet – there is a red plastic tear strip – but once you have ripped it, the whole packet falls apart. And the crackers are the wrong shape for my rectangular Lock’n’Lock boxes. Then I spotted an empty tin which I had been using to store pens.
It came from a Poundshop in 2004 [there’s a Use By date on the bottom]
I dug out some red holographic sticky-backed plastic [left over from making a display about lights and flames at school, ages ago] and cut out pieces to cover the tin and the lid.
One pack of Knäckerbröd fits beautifully into the tin.
And it looks bright and cheerful on the supper tray.
I was quite pleased that my chief suspect from episode four turned out to be the Perpetrator in the end. I did get annoyed with some of the plot twists – and it is clear they were setting up for a sequel. But I vote that one 9/10
The Bridge on the other hand, ended on a rather disappointing note. There were one or two points where the police seemed quite dense, and we found ourselves saying “Now on CSI they would have…” 7/10
So Sara Lund and Troels Hartmann get my vote. As they say
there is nothing like a Dane
but I spotted an awful lot of IKEA furniture in both series! Also, The Killing had lots of good sandwiches and pastries being eaten. Did not see any Knäckerbröd in either drama [unless it was also stored in a disguised tin]
I love covering things with sticky-backed plastic. Last week a lady actually asked me if I had ever worked on Blue Peter. Sadly, not!
i watched the killing as well,as soon as fostermummy mentioned it i was hooked, trouble was i couldnr do anything else as i had to read the subtitles.
ReplyDeletei have also watched home land thats good.

Yes, I agree - Homeland WAS good. Looking forward to The Killing 2 and Homeland 2, whenever they appear.
ReplyDeleteWhen our IKEA opened Kelli and I fought the crowds and explored. We haven't been since and I didn't get to the downstairs where they have all the food stuffs. Must go.
ReplyDeleteI've just followed your link from Dreaming of a Cottage..... blog Angela. Sadly I've never seen any of the Scandinavian series, didn't see the beginning and husband didn't fancy them.
ReplyDeleteI do however have a download of the knitting pattern but doubt whether I have the patience to do that in the round stuff on sweater sizes.
On the subject ot knitted squares - have you ever done mitred knitted squares? I have yet to try them.
I think our local IKEA was the first in the country? and I have had things like pans, cutlery holders, bedding, chests of drawers for upstairs. I once bought 2 single mattresses to put together on our KS German bed, but unfortunately after 6 months I had to take them back.
Angela, I have a biscotti tin I got from Aldi and suddenly decided to use it to put my digestive biscuits in, although I like to have the tins as they are just to confuse people.
