I am addicted to writing. Should go to sleep, but I write a little something for you. I am still in a mood for cooking. Since it is a great hobby I spend quite lot of time finding recepies and fresh ingredients.
I believe that sometimes it is good to make something completely different from expected, so to night I made gazpacho. A Spanish vegetable soup from Andalusien. This dish is best enjoyed during summer time but it was tasty to night also.
Je t’embrasse,

There has been a lot about Thanksgiving in the media. So this made me think of the U.S.. And since I am in the mood of cooking, I made some tacos tonight. No turkey, probably at christmas instead. Made my own guacamole. Fresh. Healthy. Tasty.
Dangerous.
CNN news kept me company, talking a lot about black Friday. I wonder why there is so much gun shooting? Lack of work? Feels a bit frightening.
Don´t remember when I had tacos last time. Delicious. Should have it more often. Maybe wraps next time.
Sleepy after work out and home made dinner. Will continue to write this weekend. Theme is love and life.
Lots of, lots of sweet dreams

Hi again, after writing this morning I started to think about food. It is definitely a genuine interest. Thought I should make something Swedish. I have followers from different countries than Sweden, so of course I must introduce you to Swedish food. But as you know, I am very found of cross cooking.
This is easy to make, but it takes some time.

Svenska idag. Tror att det finns “translate” funktioner så det går att läsa på olika språk. Som fungerar ganska bra. Inte helt bra ännu.
Ett av mina stora intressen är att laga mat. Dessvärre så är det ganska tråkigt när man är själv. Men jag sauterar lök i alla fall. Dessutom, att vara på diet gör det inte lättare. Det är verkligen ett lyxproblem eftersom det råder hunger i många länder.
Letade förra hösten efter “Den franska matsalen” som verkar ha försvunnit från Stockholm. De kokböckerna är helt underbara att läsa. Sann njutning.
Jag väntar nu på att det ska bli helg så jag kan ta fram jul dekoration. Har startat lite i förväg med lussekatter. Saffran är en otrolig krydda. Exotisk krydda bl a från La Mancha, Spanien. Ett tips är mortla den och lösa den i lite cognac. Då lyfts aromen fram allra bäst. Till julen brukar jag ta fram boken Rosendals trädgårdscafé. Också en väldigt fin kokbok. Mycket inspiration.
När jag bodde i Göteborg så var jag förvånad över att man inte använder saffran i lussekatter. Olika traditioner. Det finns även variationer i julbord. Brysselkål, vill jag minnas, finns på julborden på västkusten.
En tradition, med mycket prestige, är apotekens senap. Jag jobbar på det apotek som har fått bästa utmärkelsen i test. Och jag provsmakade årets senap igår. Det var 10/10. Att tillverka senap på apotek är en väldigt gammal tradition.
Det är så spännande med matkultur. Eller hur?
Stor kram,
Anna
Hi there, would like to write in Swedish but sometimes it is easier to communicate in English. Little tired from yesterdays workout. It is good. I make progress. However, I just have to face and accept the truth that I cannot live without chocolate. My reward.
Listening to news from the U.S., Ferguson. Tea time. Cosy. Swedish “lussekatter”. Tasty and healthy.
I am going to meet my mentor Professor Jörgen Engel for lunch in a few days. He is going to Stockholm for meetings in drug dependence. Addiction. This made me think of my last year at the Department of pharmacology in Gothenburg. I made friends with Professor Trilok Pati Thapa. Professor Trilok Pati Thapa is from Nepal, Kathmandu. In research, it is very common to have exchange between universities with regard to research and education.
I have always been fascinated by mountains. I also like to follow Volvo Ocean Race. However, I have to be careful, not to stay over 3000 meters since I am sensitive to high altitude. Maybe, it is just a question of adaptation. However, I travel in mountains by watching pictures. So beautiful. I remember Pau. Beautiful Pyrenees. Des randonnées. I hope I will be able to see some of beautiful Nepal. And perhaps also wonderful K2.
Have a nice day!
…and lots of love from anna
