Swede, a vegetable?!

Swede, first when I saw that name in a recipe that my girlfriend came up with .. I was stunned, something is made out of Swedes (as in Swedish people) .. I guess I skipped the English class when they had vegetables.Well, Swedes or swedes, was the first part of a shock, but secondly - cardemom? Like what, you usually add it to a coffee, pastry, ice-cream, exceptionally to a meat or a fish dish, but soup?

Yep, "swede and cardamom soup".

I am not really a big fan of swede .. especially in a soup, but hey, I found the recipe for you. It tastes fucking amazing, no kidding - it is worth trying, you have my word!

Spicy, at the same time sweat and creamy, 9 out of 10 !

The Day The Earth Stood Still

Yesterday was the day the earth supposedly stood still all around the world in cinemas ..First I found it weird that they only have 2 movie sessions per day for a brand new movie, usually the number is up to 6-7.

Well ok, as I was in the cinema already I had the full intention to go and see it.

Only part I remember very good was when there was that BIG BADA BOOM (c) (leeloo from 5th element) .. why? Because that's when I woke up. Promo was enormous for this movie in the states, but it sucks ass .. bigtime.

Just wait a week or two for the R5 version of it on torrents and see it for yourself, telesync is also available tho already.

Oh yeah, even the one they made in 1951 was more funny and watchable :)



Cookalong

So, as I just got back from a party .. well, actually from the house just next to mine, because that's where my girlfriends aunt lives .. had some metaxa cola over there .. Anyway, on the way back gf asked me, what shall we have for a Saturday dinner this time ... So here it goes .. might tweak it a little bit later, but that's with what I came up after checking the fridge for a tremendous 30 seconds.Steak with sautéed potatoes .. yarrrr! I saw that recipe somewhere on the TV show, can't really remember but it looked so good that I memorized it.

Quick sketch of what we will need hmm .. I might have to hop by the supermarket tomorrow, cause I am out of rosemary and meadow mushrooms (chestnut mushrooms if you may - these are the white ones they use almost everywhere where you need the mushrooms). Anyway ..

I'll post some pictures as well I guess later ..

and for the dessert hmmm a bananas in caramelised sugar on a puff pastry :)

mmmmm :D



Waking up at 18:50

I actually woke up at 11smth smth, as my gf stated that her sister is going to some small shopping spree and that I have to go with them. It would have been ok, but I went to sleep 2 hours before that :DSo we went to check out some stupid cosmetic stores, which I hate because of the smell .. so meanwhile they were doing god knows what girly stuff I decided to go to the food department and get something good.

First thing that ended up in my basket was a candle, yeah .. a candle in the food section - makes sense, or wait. After that I went to check out some meet .. pork to be exact, just wanted to surprise girls mom tomorrow by making some pork in the oven, since it is her birthday. Then came the white bread, some mozarella cheese, tomatoes, bacon, garlic and some kefir .. heck, mozillas English word corrector does not know a word kefir .. anyway " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefir ".

So for the breakfast .. at around 2 pm :) I made some tomato - mozarella - garlic - basilisk sandwiches in the oven, they were killergood :D
For the late lunch/early dinner .. aka now (7 pm), I will make a dish in the oven in a big pot. For that I will need 10 potatoes, 3 carrots, 1 big onion, 2-3 garlic nails and 500g bacon. Dish itself is easy .. just put the sliced potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic in the pot .. layer by layer. Adding salt, pepper, oregano, basilisk and a little bit of garlic powder (or garlic salt/garlic pepper if you may). On top goes the bacon .. just to cover the whole thing. To spice up the bacon I shall use some red bell pepper powder, salt, pepper, mustard and thyme.
Ye ye of course some water to, depending on the size of the pot .. id say 1-2dl.

Will let you know in some time how it tasted :D



Saturday?

Why does it have to snow on Saturday? I mean .. mostly I am fine with that, but not when it's Saturday, that means that I have to get dressed, go out and clean the street in front of the house off the bloody snow. Oh yeah and I have to go and visit my grandmother as well..I really hope that my girlfriend will not wake up for another 1-2 hours, so I can make some nice breakfast. That also will mean that we will be "late" to my grandmothers place .. so I will not have to go .. ye ye, we all should visit our grannys time to time, but please, not today .. really in the lazy mood, just to play some games and watch some movies with my girlfriend ..

.. So back to breakfast now, I think it shall be ... hmm, still thinking, mmmm .. omelet with some toast+tomatoes and a glass of milk .. or orange juice for my girl.

Bugger, I am out of basilisk - no basilisk on tomatoes is a big failure :(
Oooh, I found the pizza spice, will use it instead, it contains basilisk and oregano :)
Anyway, back to the kitchen now before my girl gets up =)

Out.



Random

Just a random blog, because I am bored to hell .. just did my laundry and played a nice RA3 match against 3 hard enemies and kapowned them.Now is the time to fix lunch I guess, caus girlfriend doesn't feel good ... girly stuff .. I will have to do the dishes after as well .. got to vacuum the room also :)

Anyway, back to lunch .. fridge is filled with almost everything you need and want, that's why it is so hard to make up your mind. I mean .. if you had close to nothing in your cold storage box, then it is understandable that you will have the "nothing" in the fridge for your lunch.

So .. a salmon soup, does salmon soup sound good enough for lunch? With some nice garlic white bread? Yeah, I think I'll go with that .. see what gf thinks about it :)
