On Vox: Little sister's birthday coffee cake
I was at my little sister's 27th birhday party last week and here's some of the things we were served with the coffee. Cake was marzipan, cream and jelly (of which the latter two were pear flavoured; from the bakery), cookies (raspberry in top picture and I think some kind of currants were used for the ones in the bottom picture) baked by her ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Summer time
Well it's been over a month and I've lost two kilos using the "health monitor" online. It's not a lot of weight, but at least it's a healthy pace to go. Haven't been feeling up to uploading any food pictures recently to Food Photography either...
Well, summer is in full bloom, which means it's rainy-sunny-rainy-cold-warm every day; you just don't ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Hungry!
I dunno why... I had the usual oatmeal breakfast (consisting of 76% of my daily intake of fiber!!!) and I'm hungry! This always happens around this time of day. I never seemt to be able to hold on until everyone else has lunch. It'll be an 11 AM-lunch today as well! *grr* I know I should probably not eat breakfast at home, because that's at 06:30 ( Read more... ) -
Takin' a little cruise
At work. On Friday I'm going with my colleagues on a day-trip to Åland. It's a little cruise on a ship, something I've actually never done before! But it's only during the day, so I think I'll manage. ;) No, actually I'm quite looking forward to it. I hope it'll be relaxing. We'll head out around 3 or 4 PM, then come back around 9 PM. Okay, I've ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Doctor's Referral received!
I finally received a doctor's referral! Last year in December, I went to my "local doctor" (at an outpatient clinic; I couldn't find the proper translation on Wikipedia) to ask for a referral to a bowel specialist to (maybe) get some help with my ibs. And last week, the referral arrived in the mail! Yay! So, I know that it will most probably not ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Gaming From Young to Old
This one's funny! I actually still pretty much like the same games, although they have moved from the floor into the computer. I'm talkin' dolls, man! :) When I was a kid, my favourite pastime, until I was maybe 9, was to sit around in my room and play with my Sindy dolls. I'd make clothes for them (creative stuff, too, made out of different ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Cereal: By the People, For the People
Right. I think my own cereal would be loved only by me... ^^ I'd make it taste of marzipan, chocolate and walnuts, maybe with a hint of cinnamon and cardamom. And when you pour milk over it, it would gain a lovely, crunchy texture, sort of like Ferrero Rocher. It would of course also go excellently well with plain youghurt, as the flavours would ( Read more... ) -
Stories happening
I'm slowly reading my way through "Memory and Dream" by Charles de Lint. Slowly, because I rarely have the energy to read, but I try to get some time for myself on my way to and from work. I so totally love the atmosphere in it, weaving together urban life with fairytales and art. You almost see it through a soft yellow light, the kind that you ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Lame jobs
Okay, I'm gonna try this writer's block thingy. The worst job I've ever had must be working as a phone sales person. I only lasted three months, which felt like three years! This was in 2002, by the way.
You sit by a computer with a headset on and the computer dials the numbers for you, so you never know who you're calling until it pops up on your ( Read more... )
