Blergh! I just ate too much chocolate cake, two slices to be precise, and felt queasy for a while, like I was going to empty my stomach. My head felt bad as well. I really didn't think that the second slice would be too much. Well, I won't be likely to forget for a while ( Read more... )

I've been eating nothing but mushrooms and vegetables as my daily warm meal for over a week now. The forests are so full of mushrooms at the moment that I could probably find something to eat there every day. I've even collected mushrooms from our garden for two meals already. I've found four different types of edible mushrooms on our garden alone ( Read more... )

Åland Islands (Ahvenanmaa) was gorgeous. We went camping there last week (Monday through Thursday) with MM and Mary. Åland Islands is a big island or more like an archibelago southwest from Helsinki, between Finland and Sweden. The Åland Islands are pretty peculiar. They're autonomic and a demilitarized region due to historic reasons and the vast ( Read more... )

I've noticed that I often end up talking about food with my friends. As it happens so often it must me because of me. And I like talking about food so that might explain some of it. Everybody has to eat so it's an easy subject to talk about ( Read more... )

The link that I'm posting is in Finnish so I'll write this in Finnish.

Löysin Hesarin sivuilta kätsän nelikentän eduskuntapuolueista. Siitä näkee missä akselilla puolueet on vasemmisto-oikeisto akselilla ja arvokonservatiivi-arvoliberaali akselilla. Ero on aika selkeä kun vertaa edellisen hallituksen (Kokoomus, Keskusta, Vihreät, RKP) asettumista ( Read more... )

I watched Jamie Oliver's Food revolution (-ruokavallankumous) today on telly. He's trying to change the eating habits of people in the States, especially at schools. I had some inkling that American kids don't eat such healthy food at school, but it was still a shock to see what junk they serve kids at school there. I could understand it, if it was ( Read more... )

I just uploaded two months worth of photos from my camera and there were a lot of beautiful sunset/sunrise photos among them, but the one that I took last week takes the cake, no question about it. Some of you are probably familiar with the Golden hour of photography. I think that in Finland it depends on the time of the year how long the "hour" ( Read more... )

I can't really recommend the diet that I've been following today. I had the last two of my wisdom teeth pulled out earlier so I've had to avoid all solid foods. The dentist even said that it'd be best not to eat heated food so I've eaten cold dishes that have been through the blender. Blergh ( Read more... )

I've had a busy week. I don't think that I've studied this intensively in a long time, certainly not for so many days in a row. So today I took it easy once I got back home and watched telly and One Piece.I've been too busy to bake anything, but I did eat a type of mushroom this past week that I've never tasted before. Mom had gotten korvasieniä ( ( Read more... )

Do you know how sometimes food tastes so good that it's hard to believe? Just now I ate a couple of simple sandwitches, and the barley bread slices tasted unbelievably good. The simple outlook of the bread when I was cutting it didn't prepare me for it to taste so good. It was fresh and soft, yet had good structure. It was like the taste just ( Read more... )
