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
Lugn, stilla och grå dag i Stockholm. Jag ska skriva några timmar på min bok som handlar om kärlek. Värmer upp i diktens anda. Har nu levt i flera år i kloster och det ger tid till reflektion. Men, livet går vidare.
Practice makes perfection. Enjoy.
Kärlek
En smekning, lätt som ett dun,
rör vid din kind.
Sakta, långsamt, utan form.
Att röra vid oändlighet – omöjligt,
ty,
universums existens nås bara vid de svarta hålen.
Där tyngdlagen upphör existera,
där månens skugga vidrörs,
i skenet av två stilla ljus.
So difficult to choose. But, English tonight. I had a nice day at work today. Even though, I must admit, that it is nice to stay at home as well. Work balance. Chocolate craving. Maybe not so good, but it is my weekend treat. After work I went to IKEA. I didn´t know they close that early so it was a rapid visit. I found flowers today.
The temperature is just perfect. Not to cold and not to warm so it is very convenient just to stay outside for a while. Christmas decoration is slowly appearing in Stockholm. I passed by this decoration as you can see below. Beautiful. I also saw this “globe” when I went for my little walk. This globe touches me a lot. When I pass by, I always stop for a while. Tonight it was so beautiful in the light of the town. I often see it in daylight. Beautiful. I don´t know the history of this symbol, would be nice to know some day.
Bon weekend,
Anna
