After spending the morning with the family, it's time to pack my bag. Meet some really old friends, hang out, have a few beers and talk about old memories. The evening ends with video games, probably late into the night. Wish you all a really nice Saturday. (And maybe the "FT-fairy" will come tonight and give me something to share) 💚🤗 All the best Noise!

Good evening. Tonight I got help with cooking sausage stew, used some of our homemade salsa for a wonderful fragrant sauce. Topped with pecorino cheese. Easily prepared and appreciated by the children. #Food
Good morning Noise! Had intended to have a productive day with training and various other things. But this morning the daughter threw a vomit all over the bathroom floor. But probably it's not a stomachflu. It may be migraine, our son also has it sometimes too. She is drinking some juice now and is alert & happy. Wish you all a wonderful Monday!
Today we take care of our plants. One of our mango trees has lost all its leaves and it is doubtful if it will survive. We try by letting the roots absorb water and then move to a larger pot. First time I see the roots of the tree, pretty cool.
Spanish tortilla, Italian frittata. In Sweden it is called "Bondomelett" / Farmers omelet. Always do it when I need to empty the fridge. This time it is made from potatoes, edamame beans, feta cheese, pecorino and tomatoes. Grill it quickly in the oven before serving. Personally, I top with chili and fresh thyme. #Food
Good morning Noise! Today we were woken by a small bumblebee. Bombus lapidarius. The bumblebee is black with a red hind body tip. He looked at us for a moment, then climbed out and flew on new adventures. 💚
Dalgona time(Trying with some vanilla powder today)! And Disney Frozen ice cream for the daughter. It's all about Frozen, jacket, shoes, socks .. She also loves to sing the theme song, "Let it go" 🎶
Good morning Noise! After a walk and exercise, the body has come to life. Took the opportunity to take a photo at the town hall in Borås, Sweden. The house consists of a main building facing the square which encloses a courtyard. In the wall facing "Allégatan/Alléstreet" there is a fountain with different motives. If you walk around the fountain and look at it, you will see that the motives is the working life of the old Borås area. In other words, a small tribute to what…
Today we went down to town for a bite to eat at the local restaurant La Gustosa. Italian lasagna, with a lot of mozzarella. The food was served steaming fresh in its own form, so hot that the sauce boiled. Borås, Sweden #Food
Today I cooked Chicken Tinola inspired by Noiser RAVAL. Follow no recipe but had read about this Filipino dish. Marinated chicken thigh fillet with garlic. Homemade chicken stock and I used papaya. Lovely aromas and flavors, will definitely cook this dish again. #Food
Some statistics from Stakecube where I have invested in bitcoin mining. You can switch the payment between some selected crypto currencies. You buy shares/workers in their server business. I still do not know how long the workers are valid, but expect at least a year. Which gives a return of a little over 100%. But then it is important that the crypto market remains decent stable. :) Price is 4 USD / worker. A good alternative if you do not buy your own equipment, I myself…
Good afternoon! The weekend is fast approaching. Time to start preparing the evening's food. I was eager to make Hakka noodles but no one else wanted this at home. So instead I get to cook something with chicken, Hoisin, ginger and green onions. We'll see what happens. Have a good Friday and Noise you later! Cheers 🍻
So... Whats up with those Bananos, BAN ? Really happy I discovered the foldingAtHome a couple month ago.
Fong sai yuk chicken (just invented this, tribute to one of my favorite movies) 😄 The best thing I know is to improvise, a part of life. Marinated the chicken in hoisin, honey and lemon. Caramelize the chicken with ginger and garlic. Then added red onion, green onion and cabbage. 👍🏻 #Food
This birch thrush has not chosen the best place to build its nest. Low down and on a schoolyard. If you zoom in, you will see better. Borås, Sweden
Been out all day and enjoyed the spring sun. Now it's time to start cooking. I was extremely hungry for a dish, gorgonzola beef with tomatoes. Problem is, I'm just eating it. So today I get to cook two dishes. The beef dish and sausage stroganoff. The beef dish is very simple, beef, gorgonzola, cream and tomatoes. Cheers and Noise you later. 🍻
I have a hard time describing this dish in words. A must if you like gorgonzola cheese. Baked in an oven on a bed of tomatoes and beef. A little sweetness from the tomatoes makes the sauce divine. Gorgonzola au gratin beef. Wish you all an awesome Saturday evening! #Food
Good morning Noise! The rain is pouring down here in Sweden. The city of Borås, also known as Sweden's rainiest city. We start the day by singing classic Swedish children's songs. "Pippi Longstocking" and "Emil in Lönneberga". Wish you all a nice Sunday!
Out in the rain and biking. Took the opportunity to enjoy the flowering Japanese cherry trees that have been planted in selected areas in Borås. Grows well even in the climate we have in the Nordic countries.
Traditional Swedish caramel cookies. I have a pinch of salt to balance all the syrup and powdered sugar. Perfect for today's "Swedish Fika". ☕️
I met Richard Kiel at a Sci-fi conference in Gothenburg, over 10 years ago. This guy was as big as a grizzly bear, his hands as big as frying pans. A very calm and nice person. #Movies
Good morning! After morning training, it's time for breakfast. Fried pork with fresh chili, natural cashews and a mixture of mango, lingonberry and chia seeds. ☕️
Good evening! Dinner planning did not go as planned. We ate leftovers.😊And now it's time to read fairy tales and fact books. We do this every night. Today there will be books about Vikings and life during the Swedish Middle Ages.
Finally I got to try Disney +. There is a lot to choose from but it is a serie that makes me feel nostalgic. Futurama, aimed as a popular cultural parody. I think it is silly, creative and it was ahead of its time. Will be the first that I watch.
"Kassler gratin" with pineapple and tomato. "Kassler" is salted and smoked pork, mainly of cutlet. This is a dish I make on a regular basis. Today I used my last salsa and mixed it with cream. Topped with aged cheddar. 😋 #Food
Good afternoon! Busy day, been away on a few things. Tomorrow is a weekend day in Sweden, Ascension Day. The weather is looking to be good so we will probably go on an excursion. And now it's time to relax and plan the evening's food. The children get pancakes and we adults eat mozzarella salad. Bought a couple of beers, including this one. Gipsy Hill - Sun Seeker from the UK. Fruity, slight sweetness, hints of pineapple, grapefruit and mango. Cheers and have an awesome…
Started buying beer from Dugges a couple of years ago. Started as a microbrewery in Gothenburg in early 2005 but has in recent years grown and moved to larger premises. Makes fantastic beer, sour beer, IPA, APA and stout. This west coast IPA is one of the latest releases. Clear bitterness, hints of passion fruit, fresh herbs, gooseberries and grapefruit. #Beer
A little easy cooking in our hectic lives. Mozzarella salad with garlic baguette. Basil, black pepper and a fine olive oil elevate the dish to the sky. #Food
Today's lunch is composed of the week's leftovers. Garlic baguette with paprika cream cheese, smoked ham, salad and fresh spinach. #Food
I thought that the trees were just starting to bloom, but already now the flowers are staining the ground pink. Japanese cherry trees, Borås, Sweden
Who does not love ice cream? Everyone in our family loves ice cream, it runs out fast 😄. Today I bought two Swedish classics. GB ice cream, Nogger (vanilla with nougat sauce) and orange with chocolate pieces and caramel crisps. #IceCream
Västerbotten cheese is a Swedish granular hard cheese with a strong aromatic taste, which has been stored for at least 14 months. Still made according to the original recipe from 1872, which is a secret. There are many myths about this cheese, one that I like is that Västerbotten cheese is so tasty thanks to a comet crashing in the area a long time ago, which made the ground calcareous. When the cows, whose milk is made into cheese, eat the grass, they absorb the nutrients.…
Great weather! Today we grill with my parents in Brämhult, Sweden. Sausages, tomatoes, onions, grilled cheese and we also have tzatziki. 😋
Brämhult, Borås, Sweden. This is where I grew up. Lots of forest and a stream flowing down from the mountain. Here I caught brook trout every summer. There are still plenty of fish in this oxygen-rich water.
Gooseberry. Thrives well in the Swedish climate. One of them all berries that I long to pick this summer. There were plenty of bumblebees in the bush but no one wanted to be in the picture. I make juice, jam and marmalade from the berries. Have also experimented with pickling them in syrup together with habanero. Takes taco’s to a new level. Summer, I'm waiting for you!
Good afternoon! The rain pours down in daily order in Borås, Sweden. We stay inside and hang out. Today me and the children bake a classic Swedish pastry, chocolate balls. Invented around 1940. We even have our own day for this pastry, chocolate ball day. Chocolate balls are made from sugar, butter, oatmeal, sifted cocoa, vanilla sugar and possibly also a splash of strong coffee. Often garnished with coconut flakes, powdered sugar or sprinkles.
Finally Saturday night. The children are asleep and now we are going to relax on the sofa. Tonight we will have Duetto cheese, also called cream gorgonzola. Gorgonzola, interspersed with Mascarpone, a creamy dessert cheese. Served with biscuits with strawberry jam.
Crispy pancakes with homemade raspberry jam.
Good morning Noise! Red start to the week. Hope the market recovers. Today Im having a mango and lingonberry smoothie, perfect combination indeed! Wish you all an awesome Monday!
Finally some time left for experiments! I went several days and thought of a mango and lingonberry syrup. Became incredibly good, well balanced with sweetness and sourness. Tonight it will be fried chicken with waffles and this newly invented syrup will be a success. Stay tuned! 😊
Fried chicken with waffles. Served with mango & lingonberry syrup, srirachi mayo, green onion and chili. #Food
Stigbergets Brewery strikes with a really nice Sour Ale. Here they have made a well-balanced and summery sour with large amounts of orange and raspberry flavors. Really good. Made in Sweden, City of Gothenburg. Sour Ale 4.5% #Beer
Good afternoon Noise! Tonight I'm going to make smashburgers. And for this there will be bacon jam. The first time I do this, the most important thing is to let the yellow onion and garlic sauté in the bacon fat. I used my last mango and lingonberry syrup, gives sweetness but also a slightly sour touch. #Food
A new life is born. Had forgotten about this seed. One week too many but the roots look perfect. A nice addition to our mango tree family.
Double smash burger with bacon jam. The bun is fried with srirach mayo. No cheese, it was simply not needed. Just a little raw onion 😋 #Food
Today we have been at "Vänga kvarn", Beautifully located by "Sävån" / brook in Borås municipality, Sweden. One of the few rural mills in the country that is still in operation. Flour has been produced here since 1850. We had a coffee and bought flour and freshly baked spelled fluor & honey bread.
Friday's peace, the best feeling of the week. 😊Today is Taco Friday. lots to do, pickled red onions, guacomole, etc. Today's ”cooking beer”comes from Poppels, another microbrewery that has its roots in Gothenburg. Is a little lower in price but this new launch is in high class! Tropical IPA (6.5%), Tropical IPA is a well-hopped India Pale Ale with the tropical notes of hops from mango. A clear bitterness balances the fruitiness and gives an interesting beer.
Omnipollo Brewery. Started in 2011. This beer, Fatamorgana, was the beer that took me to the enchanted IPA world. The taste is brutally hop-fruity with fruits, but almost no bitterness at all. Sour fruits. Ripe mango. Green bananas. Lime. It is really sweet, but there is enough bitterness for it to be drinkable and creates a nice balance. #Beer
Tacos! Grind the spices for the ground beef myself. We have a lot of different accessories to choose from. But today I go for meat, cheese, chili, onions and salsa. Wish you all a nice Friday evening! #Food
Playing ´Staind - So far away´ on my guitar. This is a beautiful song, It reminds me of my past. Everyone can fall down into a hole, and everybody makes mistakes. There is no better feeling in the world when knowing that you can forgive yourself for what's gone wrong. Noise you tomorrow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCZXjB9DPl4 #Music
I Noise a little more tonight, when the guitar arrives there is no stopping. This song is one that grows with the years. Corey Taylor, during my high school years, I listened a lot to Slipknot. This acoustic song and performance is something extra. Listen to Slipknot first and then this live song. Brings up amazing memories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBK6xymmKHM #Music
Good morning Noise! Lovely Saturday! Looks like a tiny little arm is coming up out of the ground. It is our newly planted mango seed.
Today we have a visit from the children's friends. Then it will be easy cooking. Hot dogs and fries. 😊🌭🍟
Time for some sweets. I have used all the black currants that I picked last summer. But found frozen organic berries in the store. Black currants (Ribes nigrum) are also often called "Nordic grapes" and are very rich in vitamin C. And anthocyanins - powerful antioxidants that protect both the immune system and muscles. Today I will bake a blackcurrant pie.
Blackcurrant pie with vanilla ice cream. For the dough I used only butter, sugar, syrup and flour. Love the sweet and sour taste of blackcurrant, goes perfectly with ice cream.
Saturday night! Today, Eurovision is on the schedule. Not really fond with this contest but it's 3 against 1 😄.Testing the new summer taste on chips from Olw. BBQ & Cola, rating: Where is the cola taste ?!
Good afternoon! Cold, gray and rainy in Borås, Sweden. Lunch will be an experiment. Pecorina fried sourdough bread with tomato, green onion, pickled red onion, chili, garlic salsa and srirachi mayo. Yummy! #Food
Good morning Noise! New wonderful week. Just got out of the gym. The best way, I think, is to recover the body with a homemade smoothie. Today made from mango, blueberries, lingonberries, water and a little touch of organic honey. Wish you all an awesome Monday! ☕️
Today we are going to bake wheat tortillas. Usually I use in food coloring in our daughters dough, blue today and I have received an Avatar hand. 😁
Wheat tortilla with oven-roasted pork. I've done so much tortilla in my days so I turn them by hand. When they rise in the frying pan, they are ready. Had no real plan for todays dinner, it became a mix of different food cultures. The pork is marinated with soy, honey and ginger. The sauce is made from pickled peppers, garlic, honey, sour cream and salt & pepper. A sauce I want to take a bath in.. 😋 #Food
Good morning Noise! After a heavy workout right in the morning, you need to replenish your energy .. Luckily I have leftovers from yesterday. Homemade wheat tortilla with pork, chili and paprika sauce. Folded and fried in oil.
When I walked through town this morning, a net had been set up on "Stora torget". Had to seek information about this. It is apparently a work of art made of fiber, by the American sculptor and fiber artist Janet Echelman. A part of Borås Art Biennial, Borås City's 400th anniversary celebration. Pretty cool for my little town. Borås, Sweden.
Pizza time! Today we eat out on "Alléterassen". Without a doubt the best pan pizzas in town. I took a Three Gringos, kebab meat, cheese, onions, mushrooms and kebab sauce. Borås, Sweden #Food
Looking at the berry bushes at my parents. This is where I pick a lot of my berries. In a couple of months, the bushes will be full of berries. The first picture is of black currants and the second picture is white currants. Although white currants are sometimes said to taste like red currants, I find them sweeter. Black currants have a heavier depth of aromas.
Rhubarb is a vegetable, but is sold as a fruit. The special, sour taste comes mainly from malic acid. The roughness comes from oxalic acid and varies between different varieties. It has grown fast in the last week and I take some home with me. I make pie, jam, juice and lemonade out of it. Also good to butter fry to bring out the acid, then served with vanilla ice cream. 😋
Now started Wednesday night. Got a lot done in life and at Noise. Enjoying a beer that has grown into one of my favorites. Good beer for an affordable price . From Denmark, To øl DIPA (Double IPA, 8.7%). Hop-aromatic tropical taste of grapefruit, pineapple, dried mango and pine needles with marked bitterness and aftertaste of tropical fruit. The alcohol goes through a bit in the taste picture. But there is also a little hop burn in the taste. #Beer
Some music gives me such nice flashbacks, and I have a hard time actually putting it into words. Many songs give me such feelings of nostalgia that I am almost transferred to another time, often it is the feeling of a memory or a feeling that I can not really capture. A specific moment was when I was on the Roadrunner Records tour in Stockholm. I grew up with emo, ska-punk, skate-punk and NU-Metal. We were at a concert with IIl Nino, Spineshank and Chimaira. Every time I…
Good afternoon! Today I am experimenting with rhubarb. Rhubarb contains phenols, a type of antioxidant, and is packed with vitamins. Trying pickling today, sugar, honey and water boiled up to a syrup. Add lemon, rhubarb and chili. Now it has to stand overnight in the fridge. Gonna make a pork dish tomorrow and will have this rhubarb for it.
Very rarely do I buy wine, I usually buy a bottle and use most of it for cooking. Today I bought Beaujolais Villages Marc Dudet, 2019. Product of France. Soft and pleasant flavors and nuanced aroma of black currants. Can also feel hints of blackberries and lingonberries. Will use it tomorrow but today I am in the experimental mood. Will be something with nectarines, burrata cheese, black currants, red wine. It will be exciting. 😊
A new exciting dish. Oven-grilled nectarine topped with burrata cheese (like a super creamy mozzarella cheese). The sauce is made from reduced red wine with honey and black currants. For this we have romaine lettuce and fresh garlic baguette. Very complex flavors, the burrata cheese balances everything with its milky and creamy texture. #Food
After today's training session, I went through Borås Stadspark / city park. A great place to hang out. Centrally located in Borås. There is a playground, mini golf, restaurant and here is also the bathhouse. Art has also been prepared for the Borås Art Biennial. The wooden sculpture will shine in the evenings. It is made by architects at a company from Gothenburg, Okidoki, and is called Megafon. -Borås,Sweden
What a sandwich! Red wine marinated pork. Quickly grilled a piece of baguette with cheddar cheese. Served with romaine lettuce, red onion and pickled rhubarb. Salty, savory, sweet, sour. Wow. #Food
Friday, wonderful day! Now I can spend the rest of the afternoon in the kitchen. Tonight there will be smashburgers and homemade burger buns. Also takes the opportunity to make black currant marmalade. Berries, sugar, honey and water. Reduce the liquid then it's done! Good for toast and different kinds of cheeses.
Stigbergets Brewery, Syndafloden, Kveik IPA 6.0%. New interesting release from my Swedish favorite brewery. Kveik is a Norwegian collective name for a yeast strain from the beginning where / is a yeast strain that was used in homes to brew beer. You had different ways to preserve the yeast strain and in Norway you had a wreath that you always threw in the tub to speed up the fermentation. It was picked up and dried and used again next time. #Beer
I love when I can buy locally produced products. This sour beer is made in Dalsjöfors, located on the outskirts of Borås, Sweden. There is also good fishing water 😄. Proton Brewery is a brewery in Dalsjöfors run by Kristoffer Drotz. In 2020, a Tap Room was also started to be able to hold beer tastings in the brewery. This beer has a berry, sour taste with a little saltiness, hints of forest berries, vanilla (strong taste and aroma) and citrus. #Beer
Double Smash Burgers with homemade burger bun. Using ground beef, salt, black pepper, onion powder and an egg for the "batter". A little salad, red onion, dressing and red cheddar and evening dinner was a success! Nacho chips and guacamole as a side dish. #Food
Some goodies for the Friday night. Roquefort cheese with biscuits and blackcurrant marmalade. Serrano ham. And a glass of red.
Wonderful sunny day in Borås. Today we have been in the city park and enjoyed ice cream and sunshine. Borås, Sweden
More art that has been placed in Borås Citypark. By Jin Mustafa(Swedish artist). With inspiration taken from Borås history, Mustafa has created an alternative soundtrack for the city. The work, which consists of sound recordings from Borås and newly written compositions. The listening area consists of sculptures, intended for sitting, lying and resting on, they enable an in-depth listening and an in-depth experience.
One of my favorite places in the whole city park, a magical feeling when standing under this tree. It grows down in the river. This tree has been here for as long as I can remember. Many memories from my teens when me and my friends sat here at the evenings and just having a good time. Borås, Sweden.
Better Late Than Never from Swedish Beerbliotek with collaboration with Scottish Six ° North, New England IPA 6.8%. Dry fruity notes - banana and pineapple, passion fruit. The aftertaste is dominated by pine needles, apple and grapefruit. The rough end has some floral bitterness, lemon juice and a little honey. #Beer
Happy Mothers Day! Yes it's true. Sweden decided that the day would be celebrated on the last Sunday in May. Today my wife gets breakfast in bed. Tea, toasted fresh bread with blackcurrant marmalade and a glass of pear lemonade.
So I tried two different ways to pickle rhubarb. The first was in a post a few days ago, where I cooked a syrup and added rhubarb, lemon juice and chili. Unfortunately, you lose the pleasant acidity when rhubarb is heated. The second test (left in the picture) is pickled rhubarb in honey and lemon juice. More resilient and retains the acidity.
Some before and after pictures of a nice mini park in my neighborhood, Druvefors(Borås), Sweden. The three first pictures are from today, the last is about s month ago, just before everything started to bloom.
Today on Mother's Day, my wife wants meatballs and potato gratin. I make the meatballs in a fairly classic Swedish way, ground beef, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, mustard, salt and pepper. Also enjoy a Brewski Pango in the heat. A very fruity IPA, notes of pineapple, passion fruit, mango.
Homemade Swedish meatballs with potato gratin, au gratin with aged cheddar cheese. Wish you all an awesome Sunday evening! #Food
Hello Noise! Today's breakfast / lunch will be smoothie and pork. Pork has been in red wine for 5 days. Very interesting look, smell and taste, red berries, honey, cinnamon. The smoothie is made from mango, lingonberry, black currant and rhubarb. Vitamin overload! 😋
Very often the simplest things are the best. Warm blackcurrant marmalade and vanilla ice cream. Sweet, sour, beautiful, wonderful!
