Cooking seafood and a relaxing weekend. BF is having a very rare weekend off work, so he spent some time yesterday shopping for dinner, which he promised to make. We both love fish and seafood, but I often feel the choice of affordable seafood in Denmark is very limited. In supermarkets you can always find…Continue Reading “Cooking seafood”
Cappelletti in brodo. As a “by-product” of the Bollito Misto I made last Friday, I now have a couple of litres of delicious broth (brodo) in my freezer, neatly frozen in plastic bags, ready for me to take out and thaw whenever a craving for soup strikes. Yesterday I had a sudden yearning for Cappelletti in brodo…Continue Reading “Cappelletti in brodo: Easy recipe for delicious comfort food”
Bollito Misto. Over the last few days I had an explicable craving for Italian Bollito Misto – boiled mixed meats. It may sound quite disgusting, but I assure you, it’s delicious. Different cuts of different kinds of meat are left to simmer slowly with veggies, herbs and spices for a few hours. This slow process…Continue Reading “Best recipe for Italian bollito misto: Mixed boiled meats in broth”
Parmigiana di Melanzane. Seems that many bloggers blog better when they’re not too happy. I am not a very verbal person. Or I am, I love words and I appreciate (and envy) who knows how to string together words. But I’m better at expressing myself non-verbally. I paint more*, I take more pictures, I walk…Continue Reading “Food OD – Best recipe for Parmigiana di Melanzane”
I can’t remember the last time I had this many emotions in one single day. I cried this morning, overjoyed a bit later for finding a valid alternative to the plane and now I’m jubilant again for the planes finally starting to take off normally. I am officially off for Italy at 10.40 from Copenhagen…Continue Reading “Kyllyan – Ash: 2 – 0”
Death by chocolate… I am watching the remake of one of my alltime fave movies “The Omen”. But I focus only on the sweat on his face, dark with shadows when he wakes up in the middle of the night. And on the rose petals falling as she falls. Drifting through the air. Weightless. The…Continue Reading “Death by chocolate”
I’m going through a rough period after the breakup with the boyfriend, that was one of the reasons for coming back to Denmark. It wasn’t meant to be, but never mind that, I spent thoughts and logic enough on that one, things aren’t gonna change sitting here inventing possible different scenarios. So I’m questioning myself…Continue Reading “What’s cooking”
I have been sick. I am never sick, but when I am it is always due to stress. Nothing new this time around; I have been stressed and a bit worried about moving here, getting myself sorted out financially, workwise and personally. I already felt tired and wornout Friday (I even missed Kulturnatten =( but…Continue Reading “Back on my feet”
Disclaimer: Nerdy obsessive food-observations follow: I came up with a parallel yesterday that I have been struggling to formulate but just couldn’t pinpoint properly. Then I sort of mentally dismissed it as uninteresting stuff (my BF call me nerdy about food and often I shut my trap about my observations), thinking they might be uninteresting…Continue Reading “Daring parallel”
I didn’t finish all the pumpkin soup yesterday, so tonight I reduced the pumpkin soup to a velvety orange cream while letting thin slices of bacon fry until crisp. Grated some pecorino cheese while the pasta was cooking. And tossed it all in a big pan and drizzled with good extra vergine. Delicious while slighty…Continue Reading “More pumpkin”
