Hey, what happened to your polar plunge tank? And why is Grim named Grim? [In American English "grim" means gloomy or forbidding.] And do people drive along the beach? It looked like there were tracks.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

So many wardrobe changes ... it's a real fashion show!!! LOL!!! xxx

[@minecraftbois7306]

What breed is your dog?

[@fifik3136]

Im interested in how much you clean. Your house always looks immaculate. Any special products - removing Grim's fur....

[@wordcoffee101]

You're welcome Darlin' 😘

[@celticlass8573]

I love how all over the world, people's days are made, when they cut open an avocado and it's PERFECT. ❤

[@silvershoes9724]

Cecilia uploads, and I instantly click on it, it’s just the way it is 😊❤

[@sweigh72]

Agreed ❤

[@crucitacalvin7523]

best part of a sunday morning!

[@heatherchambers1609]

Definitely. Thanks to Cecilia I’m now eating hummus (and sharing with my dog) at 10:30 in the morning 😊

[@ronaldparker8326]

Same here

[@pilifernandez-davila1166]

Same!! It has become part of my Sunday morning routine ❤

[@angelamalcomb1373]

You should make a blog of you and Christopher shooting the rifle ! And, the story of how you both learned to shoot , type of weapons you have ,etc.

[@littlemisskittyuk1]

We call the breaded cod sticks you had for dinner 'fish fingers' in the UK and it's a staple kids meal with baked beans & mashed potato - still one of my favourite comfort meals now as an adult

[@Hulalulatallulahoop2]

Fish finger butties….can’t beat them 😊

[@juditharcher1481]

Same is the US as a child---fish sticks with baked beans, and mashed potatoes was the best !!

[@lb3659]

It’s amazing to watch a what I eat in a day that is actually a decent amount of food that is balanced, not pretentious and focused on what the creator really likes to eat.

[@FionaEm]

"I have been asked to cook Christoffer breakfast. This is an honour." Love it 😂😂 Hope he's feeling better now. Cheers from Melbourne Australia, where our winter maximum temp is roughly the same as your summer maximum temp 😅

[@manfredfails7485]

The temps is the same for my winter. I could totally live there during their summer.

[@Paheena1]

I laughed at that too 🤣

[@kappy-nf6uh]

From Melbourne too but I do love spending Melbourne summers in the cold more so in Iceland and north of Norway. Every time I'm in Tromsø, I think about popping over to Svalbard but never got round to it. One day.

[@kristinaliland4905]

I'm also into imitation crab...good to know I'm not alone 😅 Always a pleasure to watch your videos while I do my Sunday meal prep!

[@CricketsBay]

OMG, baked sushi made with imitation crab may be the best food ever. It's just called baked sushi, there's no actual sushi involved. I learned about it on Emmymade (Emmy's) KZbin channel.

[@wendoxia]

What’s so fascinating to me about this video is that I was expecting somethings so much more “foreign” as an American… but this was very Pacific Northwest in your for choices your daily activities, watching below deck, drinking monster, your water bottle that everyone in Los Angeles carries around, your wardrobe, hair clip that everyone in LA is wearing, baking banana bread ! It’s so global so fun.

[@sarak-gc9nc]

Eating Philadelphia cream cheese.

[@wendoxia]

@@sarak-gc9nc right?

[@jorgehogue]

I feel better about drinking so much monster drinks 🤭 and yes....her day feels very pnw

[@tvsouzamartins8044]

Not that global, tho. It's very different from my culture.

[@MoonBunnyy]

I love how we got a new outfit with every meal too 😅 Speedy recovery to Christopher!

[@tressanallenmartin9336]

He baked… and took it out the oven.. hehehehe!!!

[@moorenicola6264]

I'm Irish and if you never went walking because of the rain here you wouldn't go out walking for half the year! We had an amazing hot, dry June but July was the wettish in history. I have two kids, we'd go mad if we didn't get out. You just have to put the rain gear on and accept it. I'm surprised since you do so many winter activities.

[@aliciamichal6275]

I love when Cecelia wishes a good morning. It makes me so happy. She is so full of energy, and I feel it!

[@CatLoverX74]

Idk why you say you can’t cook Cecilia you did so well! The bread looked yummy 😋 Grim is such a cutie 🥰 He’s adorable and he knows he’s adorable 😂 Getting under the pillow like I’m cute I know it 😁 Hope Christoffer feels better soon! Hugs to you, Christoffer and Grim ❤

[@Lilly-hh9es]

What a lovely comment ❤ l needed to read this as l'm surrounded by mean miserable people 😢 stay safe 😊

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Awwww thank youuuu 🫶🤩

[@sydneystudds]

I completely agree! Everything looked very good (and I am a chef too btw) I would love to see a video of them cooking together and see what Christopher likes to cook. Also very curious as to how he got a job as a chef in Svalbard because I might be interested in doing that as well haha

[@CricketsBay]

Best way is to contact each restaurant individually because Svalbard does not have Indeed or any other services for job hunting. Don't forget, arrange housing before moving to Svalbard.

[@clarissaferreira7770]

The escape Cecilia's videos provide is something else.

[@robink620]

Cecilia I love your enthusiasm for everything, even when something is difficult you’re so joyful! 😊 It’s so contagious. Hope Christoffer gets better soon.

[@fluttergirl75]

My Mum made the best banana bread. She'd double the eggs and bananas, so it was very moist. When she died, I kept the loaf pans. She couldn't cook, but her banana bread was a beautiful thing!

[@shannonlynne1558]

I love how you “pony-tailed” up when it was time to make Christopher’s breakfast. 😆

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

I meant business 🤣

Cecelia is so random with her food choices and Chris is si exact - I love it 😂😂

[@gabrielleparis3532]

☕️❤☕️Having my coffee with Cecilia, Grim and Christopher on Sunday morning, the best!

[@markhernden9472]

The nice thing about a rainy day is you can hang around the house and not feel guilty about missing a nice sunny day.

[@gailalicea1622]

Absolutely my favorite thing about beautiful rainy 🌧 days too 💕

[@beckyjackson7755]

For someone who says they can't cook, you do a really good job!!

[@DiMonyet]

Oh Cecilia, I wanted you to know how much I loved Svalbard! ❤ I understand why you live there. Longyearbyen is a quaint town-nice shops, museum and your Coop store is well stocked. I followed locals into Kroa and enjoyed a veggie sandwich. Circumnavigating the Svalbard archipelago I was awed every single day by the scenery. Polar bears(nine sightings), walruses, reindeer, foxes, whales and the pleather of seabirds. Unbelievable glaciers, icebergs, ice floes. And then the Brasvalbreen ice field-an endless horizon of white. Thank you for sharing your life on Svalbard; and, I look forward to seeing the adventures you, Christopher and Grim do in the years to come. ❤️❤️

[@Acapulc941]

As always, I love visiting with you on Sundays. I thought you cooked very well on each of your meals. I'm sure that Kristoffer appreciated you taking care of him. Hugs to Grim and both humans. Leigh

[@jayare6804]

If you convince Christoffer to make bagels, try NY-style! You have to boil briefly, but so delicious.

[@jasonmorningstar7435]

The look on Cecilia's face when she took a bite of that crab stick was hilarious! I laughed out loud! Made me want to try it!🤣

[@Bojambo]

We need a video of you using that cookout/outside fire pit! I'm really curious about how it works, and around here, outside cooking over a fire is absolutely huge. We all have firepits in our back yards, and use it a lot to cook meats, etc.

[@lanatherana157]

I love how peaceful your videos are ❤

[@siennabay]

I love watching your Sunday videos, Cecelia. So relaxing and enjoyable, thank you.

[@lisaharr1477]

I hope Christopher feels better !!! Your food looks delicious ! And that banana bread looks really really yummy !! I too have always loved fish sticks ! It’s definitely a childhood thing with me too ! Thanks for sharing !!!

[@Hollyferris]

In the UK we call those fish things ‘fish fingers’ 😂 And I feel like it’s a British staple to have them in a sandwich with ketchup. And now I really want that!

[@katherinetonks]

Ditto! Poke bowl seems a bit fancy for fish fingers. 😂

[@nagmapathan5575]

Thank u for taking us on this beautiful adventure 💗

[@flowerprincess_arika]

I loved this video Cecilia! I look forward so much to your videos every Sunday ❤

[@johnsun1057]

I was on my spin bike while watching this episode. That's great advice, about only watching certain content while working out. I hope Christopher feels better, soon. Thanks for the cozy content, Cecilia! ☺

These Sunday uploads are so relaxing. Grim is just the best boy 💗

[@patobryan7745]

OMG - I saw you have Old Bay spice in your spice drawer. I am from Maryland, USA and that is a must have. We put it on steamed Chesapeake crabs and if you've never had them, when you're back in the US you need to get yourself some crabs with Old Bay. Love your channel, Cecilia.

[@juditharcher1481]

I'm from Baltimore---hello fellow Marylander! and Yes, Old Bay is great! I took some to England last year to my friends there. 🙂

[@sinead2264]

Your content is so relaxing 💕 My 1 year loves watching you and gets so excited when Grim come on the screen ☀️😊

You are a MIND READER! I was literally thinking after your last post last week that I’d love to see a what I eat in a day. I’m excited for Christopher to do a cooking episode! You don’t need to be doing anything special for me to just love your content. Your daily lives bring me joy to watch it. Thank you for sharing this with us! I wake up every Sunday excited to watch what you post with my coffee in hand ❤✨👏🏼☕️

You are not alone with the imitation crab Cecilia. I find it so addictive. I eat the sticks or the chunks even though it makes my stomach hurt after. 😂

I love fake crab, too. And I live in the Pacific Northwest where I can get fresh dungeness crab. It's the texture and the sweetness. It's perfect cold, straight out of the package.

I love your videos, Cecilia! I just enjoy it so much, the way you talk and the way you explain how it's living in Svalbard. I'm from the Caribbean, and your video makes me want to visit Svalbard. By the way, I love Grimm ❤

[@LisainCalifornia]

I used to use Oatley too, but my nutritionist said it is highly processed and has half the protein of cow's milk--and the protein Oatley does have is incomplete and lacks an amino acid we need. It also has much more carbs, and is processed with canola oil, which really isn't good to ingest on a regular basis. I can't do lactose, so I used lactose free milk, which is a healthier substitute. I know some people really prefer the taste of Oatley more--so I get it if that's the reason you like it. Now that I have been using cow's milk (half and half) in my coffee, the Oatley tastes weird to me, so I quickly got use to the change.

[@helenachwierut7349]

Love this video! ❤

[@jennifer6833]

I think the scenery where you are is just breath taking. I hope Christopher is feeling better. Lots of love to you both and may God continue to bless you.❤️🌞

[@SeriousBeagle]

Yes! I absolutely love imitation crab meat! We have a salad here in the US that’s a deli crab salad and it’s made with flake style imitation crab meat. It’s SO good! It’s basically the imitation crab (flaked), diced red onion, celery, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and a little bit of lemon juice. I also like to season mine with a bit of Old Bay seafood seasoning. Also, everything you made looked delicious. Hope Christoffer is feeling better.

[@Lizzybaby30500]

I make a crab dip kinda like that but with imitation crab meat, sour cream, cream cheese, a packet of the powdered ranch dressing, green onion, so good love the imitation crab meat

[@the_hothouse_flower5044]

I think it's called Neptune salad

Grim appearing from the darkness when Cecilia opened his treat bag was so funny. 😂 Hope Christopher feels better soon. Make sure to take care of yourself too. With cooking the practice makes perfect, though it all don't need to be at a restaurant quality either. It's enough if it tastes good. I've been wanting to try make bagels, but am scared. It seems like it will be difficult.

SO NICE to hear her speaking her native language ❤ You don't drink WATER after getting up? Coffee isn't good on many levels, to each their own, obviously, if you enjoy it good for you..... but a cup of water on empty stomach hydrates the body, especially if you drink coffee because it's dehydrating. Good luck with everything ❤
