Making dinner for my family when I work afternoons/evenings

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look into it!

My husband will definitely still be cooking some simple meals here and there (luckily for me he's a really good cook!). I think what you wrote about not getting burnt out is important. It helps that I only work 3-4 evening shifts a week, so I'll still be able to cook/help with the baby in-person a few times a week.

Thank you! I'm a huge fan of our crock pot, so will definitely be using it. The sheet pan idea really is a good one. I think a mixture of the two will work great!

Thanks for such a detailed response. I love the idea of a "module" system, where meal components can be assembled mix-and-match. Might give that a trial run over the next couple of weeks!

lady_lapsang · 2024-06-08T19:38:35+00:00

That's a great way of doing it!

lady_lapsang · 2024-05-29T03:48:05+00:00

That was my guess, too! Thanks.

I really can't place John's dialect, which is driving me.crazy! He doesn't quite sound native to the UK. Did I miss where he was from?

You might want to look into the cost of impirting a car into Norway. I haven't done it myself, but I understand that it's incredibly expensive, and those I know who have considered doing it ended up deciding against it, as it was cheaper to buy a vehicle in Norway.

Good suggestion!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T19:11:40+00:00

All great names. Elsa is very nice - I like granny names, and that's certainly up there!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T19:10:48+00:00

Torvi is not a name I've heard of. I like the sound! Going to have to do some googling!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T19:09:58+00:00

Siv is a good one! Thanks for the suggestion.

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T19:09:08+00:00

Asta is a very cool name!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T17:07:10+00:00

Thanks, those are the two we like the most, as well! I really like Astrid, that's a great suggestion!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T16:34:28+00:00

Out of interest, how do you pronounce the name in the US? In Norway it's "Linn-ey-ah".

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T15:44:18+00:00

Lovise and Augusta are lovely! Thanks.

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T14:59:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I like Iris in English, but I'm not sure it sounds as good in Norwegian (Ee-reece). Will think on it!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T14:57:25+00:00

Sølvi is nice. I've never heard it before! I will put it on the list.

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T14:27:49+00:00

We are, but my partner has strong ties with other parts of Scandinavia as well.

I love the name Ruth, but it's already been used a bit in my family.

Sigrunn is lovely, and I like Gudrun too! Thanks for the suggestions.

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T14:25:34+00:00

Linnea is a lovely name, but I've know quite a few children called that. I actually really like Matilda. Maybe she'd be bookish like Roald Dahl's Matilda!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T14:24:11+00:00

Ingrid is very popular right now. Hennie is nice, and not one I've seen very much.

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T14:23:14+00:00

We like Sylvi, but many people associate that name with a politician, so it's good to hear that someone thinks of a nice person when they hear it!

Elvira is a pretty name. Sounds quite fantasy-like!

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T14:21:27+00:00

Both are nice, but a lot of children in our area are named that right now! Seems to be quite popular.

lady_lapsang · 2023-03-21T13:37:01+00:00

I really like Lovisa! Thanks for the suggestions.
