Mat och dryck. Recept
Chili-kale-nom
My good friend Chalkahlom very kindly sent me two kinds of genuine Hungarian paprika powder. For this post I used: So, there was a sort of challenge on the fediverse. What the fediverse is, I cannot bother to explain now, but please look up the term on your favorite search engine 🙂 The challenge was …
Ceramic aware
I have an assortment of ceramic ware. Some I rarely or almost never use. They are a sort of collection, I guess, memory of travels, or just old times. Some of these are just not of much use to me in daily life, such as hashioki. Some I use more or less daily: dishes, tea …
Orange mess
Today, as often, I applied the Kajsa Warg principle (see earlier cooking posts). I had frozen (ecologically approved) prawns in the freezer. I also decided that I was going to have rice with them. The rest more or less just happened. The rice was a mix of whole (brown) rice, red rice and wild rice. …
Yogurt Capitalism
This post is not about the movie character Yogurt from Spaceballs and his obsession with merchandising. It is about yogurt, the milk product. Every day I eat yogurt, and always the "plain" types. Then I add whatever stuff I want, such as nuts, berries or raisins. Or none at all. That gives me choice. I …
Chick Peas + Stew
Hey ho, another post about cooking. Today I decided to make a complement dish with chick peas. They were canned (boo), but at least ecologically grown. As usual, I hadn’t planned much, and I also engaged in my new hobby since 3 days back: excluding nightshade. I also excluded garlic just for the challenge. So, …
Chicken, no nightshades
If this is your first visit here, please acknowledge that most of my "recipes" are not exact, but rather rambling documents of my more or less improvised cooking. I’ve previously heard that some people avoid nightshade (Solanaceae) plants. I cannot now remember the reasons they stated for their avoidance, more than it concerned their health. …
Horsemeat
I guess no one has missed the big brouhaha about horsemeat in readymade dishes from Findus. I have not followed it very much, since I do not ever buy such products. There are many issues converging in this. It has been mentioned that some horses are medicated with stuff that makes their meat unhealthy for …
Baking Yule bread
The other day I made Swedish Yule bread ("vörtbröd"). I call it Yule bread since in Swedish we say "Jul" for the holiday. Even Christians call it "Jul". There is no literally corresponding Swedish term to "Christmas". The term, if not the tradition, is readily usable by all: atheists and non-atheists of all colours. Except …
Simple salmon
When I was making dinner, by necessity, the Cajsa Warg principle had to be applied again. I really had only one thing to make a decent dinner from: frozen pieces of salmon. Yeah I know, a rather boring form of salmon, but good to have when living in the countryside, the shop is far away, …
Chicken with some spices
For today’s dinner I made chicken in oven. As usually, I improvise. It turned out really good. Alas, not something that happens every time, even if total failures rarely occur 😉 I mixed the following: Saffron Grated fresh ginger Dried chili flakes Ground black and white pepper. Chopped garlic Sultana raisins Salt Ground cumin seed …
Droger
Jag har tidigare skrivit om droger här och här. Tänkte mest bara här länka till en tankeväckande och rolig post av Rick Falkvinge från igår. De amerikanska grundlagsfäderna, och en del presidenter, åtminstone fram till Lincoln, rökte hampa, enligt sajten weed-the-people. Ytterligare tänkvärdheter om vad som anses som droger och deras, bokstavligen, relativa farligheter. Kaffe …
