West coast!

We had a couple of lovely days in Seattle, and now we’re working our way down the west coast. Last night we did a great gig at The Mint in LA. My friend Anna Christoffersson showed up as she’s in LA working on her new album. Me and Anna baked Saffron bread in my Christmas Calendar, if you haven’t seen it check it out here!

We spent the day with Anna in Santa Monica the day after, it was lovely to walk around for a bit before cramming all the gear in the truck again and heading to San Diego.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I’m playing in San Diego so don’t miss my gig there!

Here’s some pics from the tour

In May 2010 I will be releasing my 4th studio album. At the moment I’m working hard on recording everything, and if you keep checking in on my facebook page and my twitter page you’ll be able to follow me live in the studio most day through Ustream.

The first single is due to be released in March so keep your ears and eyes open!

Sofia Talvik’s Xmas Calendar: #23

In the next to last episode of my Xmas Calendar, me and my hubby is making Christmas fudge. This might be a totally confusing episode for everyone who’s not Swedish as we’re making fun of a Swedish television show throughout the episode. I can’t really explain any further, but whenever you see the indication “in a funny voice” you’ll know we’re not totally serious … Here’s the fudge recipe for all of you that want to make it at home, with or without the funny voice:

Fudge

2 cups/dl of double cream

2 cups/dl white sugar

2 cups/dl sirup

scalded, finely chopped almonds

mix everything in a pan and cook until it’s 120°C (or 123° if you want a chewier fudge)
