As there doesn't seem to be any baby yet, I'll have another guess: 23rd december 7 lbs 4 oz 19 inches Once again congratulations!

How about a golden coin with yellow center and red orange petals? Sort of an inverted version of this years' coin...

When I came home today there was a envelope for me, and I could feel that there was something in it apart from the postcard... Lousy guesser as I am I couldn't figure out what it was and from who it was, but it turned out that it was Solan109 that had sent me a Nerds coin! Thanks a million Solan, it is very preddddddeeeee, as Caitlyn put it.

Wohoo! Thank you so very much for this generous cointest wsgaskins! I hope you'll have a very merry Christmas. And congratulations to all the other winners!

Congrats to winners and thanks for a great cointest! I've got to try some of these recipes sometime...

As this might (you never know ) be my last post in this great cointest: Thanks a lot wsgaskins! I guess I'll have to finish of with a haiku Glimmering white snow Joyful time with family A merry Christmas!

Lucia today? I knew you were a bit slow in Norrland, but missing Lucia with a week..?

...and that's two in a row! Edit: D'oh

Even more sneaky this hour...

*sneaking in this hour too*

Edit: Double post

Yet another hour gone Like a child on Christmas eve Exciting cointest

Me too...

Checking in for another hour

I thought I had seen it all, but now I've seen Julia Roberts milking horses too... On TV that is.

Another hour gone, and I still wish you all a Merry Christmas!

The sun is beaming Dreaming of a white Christmas No snow to be seen

A haiku you say? Feeling lost, I got no clue Hope Santa explains

Ohh, nice cointest! Thanks a lot wsgaskins! Since mousekakat stole Swedish, I guess I'll have to go for Finnish... Hyvää joulua!

Sorry to spam the thread, but I just finished my own knäck and just have to post that picture too

Great, now I know what recipe to choose in next contest.

Christmas isn't Christmas without a batch of knäck! It's a kind of sticky toffee made after a very easy recipe: 1/3 whip cream (not whipped) 1/3 sugar 1/3 syrup (I've heard you can use molasses as well) I'd say that most people use somewhere about 1 cup of each ingredient, but I guess you can make as much or as little you like. Put everything in a heavy based saucepan an let it boil about 30 minutes until "kulprovet" (the ball test) succeeds. In kulprovet you put a small amount of the mixture in a glass of cold water and see if you can make a ball out of it. If you can, it's done. If you cannot make a ball, it needs to boil a few more minutes. I usually have to make kulprovet 3 or 4 times before it works out, but that might be because of my overly optimistic and impatient nature. If you like almonds you can chop half a cup and put it in the mixture before you pour it into small papercups, but they're very tasty without the almond too. Here's a picture of some knäck (unfortunately not mine):

Isn't it "pent!!" in Norwegian? Edit: Or even "Kjempeflott!!"... However I got to agree, very nice coin indeed!

Thanks for the cointest mousekakat! Next time I think you should choose Swedish ice-creams, like Daimstrut or Piggelin... My next guess was going to be asparagus (I actually ate asparagus ice cream once, and to my great suprise it was alright) and lingonberry, but maybe I should be glad I didn't write that. Edit: And of course congrats to the winners!

Congratulations! My guess: 19th december 7 lbs 6 oz 19 inches
