I'm slowly catching up to things I've missed in the past 4 years, and now I've reached season 2 of Heroes. I just want to say:

Holy crap, it's Veronica Mars! And Uhura!

And well, Sulu also, but I already knew about him.

And now Syler is Spock.

Amusement ensues.

In the end it will all turn out to be some crazy scheme of Q, won't it?

Thanks to Naomi, I've just made pear-plum-carrot juice.
And the world trembles in fear.

Shimshon is a 1-year-old German Sheppard I found in the street a week ago. He is very sweet and full of love, good with children and other dogs.

He's in the process of getting neutered and getting all his vaccines. He's already house-broken and I'm training him for the basic commands (sit, stay, No!...).

I can't keep him in my tiny apartment because ( Read more... )

About a month ago a friend of mine set me up with her brother, who is a gentle soul and not used to the likes of me.

We went to see Milk, which was a pretty well made movie. He cried, I didn't.

And then we sat at a coffee shop, and All Along the Watchtower came on in the background.

I say to him "I think I might be a Cylon. I've been hearing this song ( Read more... )

First, there was the banana-rye-yeast bread. Sooooooo good! I had it for breakfast today, with cream cheese (the 30% fat kind) with sliced plum on top. Excellent!

And then there were Snickers.

I made Snickers, by myself, in my tiny kitchen.

It took a whole day of messing about, and I only made 1/4 of the original recipe, but I got 14 giant snickers ( Read more... )

About two weeks ago I bought a box (1kg) of purple potatoes, because they're cool, and cooked some really pretty things with them.

The color of purple potatoes is an anthocyanin, just like in purple cabbage. That means that it is water soluble, so boiling will leach it out. It also means that it reacts as an acid-base indicator. From it's natural ( Read more... )

Sorry, couldn't think of a better title, but this post is indeed about watermelon.

It's juicy and red, cool and refreshing, it really is wonderful. Only problem is that half its weight is comprised of that light-green rind that no one eats.

And why shouldn't we eat it? Sure, it's not as sweet as the red pith, but it's still edible. I did pay for it ( Read more... )

For some unknown reason, this morning I remembered Mike's grandmother's funeral from two years ago. She past away just a day or so before I arrived in the States (for the first time in my life), and I attended her funeral. She was buried in a very nice place with lots of green grass and trees. Many people attended her funeral and many more came to ( Read more... )

I'm starting a purple food series, because lately I've been making many purple and interesting things. I'll start with a red wine pudding cake.

Because this is a recipe using wine, and wine always has to be served with a story, I'll tell you how this recipe came to be.

First I'll tell you about two of my friends, which supplied the wine. One of them ( Read more... )
