Comments on: Finland! http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/07/21/finland/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

However, this time there was no need for me to be alarmed or to get sulky: thank you for your positive and fair reviews, they were a really nice and interesting read - as usual!

I bake a lot and he loves rye bread and there is definitely a lot of different types. We ate so much ice cream this summer that we're still paying for it. There's a lot of foods I miss but I've been finding more and more in the US. Loved your pictures, made me almost a bit homesick.
