Elderberry lemonade or Fläderblomssaft
In case you have never tried elderberry lemonade/drink/juice, run to the closest IKEA store! Haha. In the section with typical Swedish products, there is definitely some of this delicious beverage.
Without doubts, the best is home made, so let's try making one ourselves.
The good thing about elderberry trees, they might grow at any place. Look around, maybe there is one on your way to work :)

Pasta salad with sweet cherry tomatoes, walnuts and olives
Pasta has never really been my food. At the restaurant it would be my last choice. Though, when I happened to be visiting my boyfriend's uncle, I couldn't stop eating that delicious seafood pasta, cooked by his Italian wife. So I admit, that can be super delicious.
On the other hand, it is hard to get fresh seafood here in a supermarket, so, in my opinion, the best one could do with frozen stuff is this Mediterranian pasta I wrote about before (check out new pics ;). I sometimes do it with the double mussels portion - quick for feeding a big family.
But let's go back to the pasta salad! Tried it once in Germany. Not good. A while ago I even considered potato or pasta salad as an offensive usage of ingredients. Not anymore, haha. When doing grocery shopping, I ran on a great deal for magnificently sweet cherry tomatoes. My parents, unfortunately, do not consider salad as dinner. That's why I have come up with an idea to combine a salad and a full meal making pasta salad without "killing" the royal taste of cherry tomatoes :)
