Bought a piece of duetto cheese and need to do something with it. It became an innovative pasta dish. Fresh pasta, bacon, duetto and chili. Added a little of the marinade (rhubarb juice, honey and lemon) when frying the bacon. Balances all the salty flavors in a good way. Just a little black peppar added, simple and delicious! #Food

Hot today! My daughter and I decided that we must have ice cream of some kind. Became a frozen milkshake, vanilla ice cream, milk, frozen ice cream with mango flavor and a little frozen mango. #IceCream
Quick Lunch, cheddar fried tortilla with red onion, green onion, cherry tomatoes and chili. #Food
Today we make health water. Mix water, lingonberries, blackcurrants, rhubarb and ginger. Retains the peel of the ginger as it contains, among other things, minerals and vitamins. Strain 2-3 times to get a completely clear liquid, delicious and superhealthy water. #Fruit
Tortillas! We love to bake tortillas. Flour, water, butter, rapeseed oil and salt. I also have a touch of honey and onion powder. Let's see what we come up with for dinner, maybe quesadillas from the freshly baked tortillas.😋 The softdrink in the last picture was no hit, soda with bubbly gum taste. Tasted chewed gum ... 😂
Oven-grilled chicken with CHEESY quesadillas and freshly made salsa. Delicious and also got a nice picture of a "cheese pull" 😊 #Food
Today we made half baked cake and served with vanilla ice cream. Chocolate overload! 😋 #IceCream
Potatoes, but not just any potatoes! Swedish fresh potatoes. The first for this year. Boil gently and serve with butter, so delicious! Still quite expensive. When we celebrate Midsummer in Sweden, we buy lots of this delicacy, at a fraction of the price I gave today. We have an abundance of fresh potatoes around midsummer. #Food
Great day, today we have been down town and done some errands. Took a break at Walking to Borås, also called Pinocchio after the Italian literary figure Pinocchio, is cast in bronze and nine meters high. It is located in the roundabout at the southern end of Allégatan. Borås, Sweden.
Oppigårds Bryggeri / brewery, which is one of Sweden's most well-known microbreweries, is located in Hedemora. The idea is to run the brewery as a local and independent company, sustainable in the long term. Several different types of beer are brewed, including IPA and ale, since the business started in 2003. Today's beer is Oppigård's Amarillo, APA (American Pale Ale) 5.9%. Hop aromatic taste with clear bitterness, hints of orange marmalade, apricot, pine needles and light…
Friday! and it's time to start with dinner. Fresh potatoes, chicken, garlic, parmesan and chardonnay wine, Stoneleigh Chardonnay, 2019. Fruity taste with hints of yellow apples, mango, spices, vanilla and orange. I did a gamble with the wine but it tasted good after I tasted it with the parmesan cheese. Smooth, fruity aftertaste. Will be good in todays dish!
Chicken in parmesan and thyme sauce. Cream cheese, sour cream, cream, chardonnay fryed shallots, paremsan, fresh thyme, salt and pepper. Served with smashed fresh potatoes that have been au gratin with parmesan and garlic, and a little lemon zest. And of course a glas of the chardonnay to the food. 🧨! #Food
Good evening! Tonight we eat yesterday's dish. Tonight's beer comes from my favorite brewery, Stigbergets. Bionic, Triple New England IPA, 10%. Hop aromatic, fruity, nuanced taste with clear bitterness and a little sweetness, hints of dried pineapple, mango, apricot jam, orange peel and light syrup. Despite the high alcohol content, the beer balances this in a perfect way! #Beer
Laid back evening. Checking crypto assets, a couple of brews and watching Iron Man 2. Never thought about it but Elon Musk is in it for a few seconds..😂
Gamma - Go Off, made in Denmark. Imperial / Double IPA 8%. Hop aromatic taste with clear bitterness and a little sweetness, with hints of pineapple, sponge cake, orange marmalade, rosemary, honey, mango and grapefruit. 5/5, very good! #Beer
A tasty Sunday lunch, American pancakes. Served with black currant marmalade, mango and pickled rhubarb. #Food
Enjoying the beautiful weather up on the hill, The Druvefors hill. A green area located centrally in Borås, just behind our house. Playground and nice forest. A few days ago, a big moose ran around here. 😳
Refrigerator cleaning, took what was available and made a gratin. Chicken, shallots and cherry tomatoes. The sauce is made from sour cream, cream cheese, cream, aged cheddar cheese, garlic and my homemade salsa. Gratinated on high heat topped with mozzarella cheese. Now we are full. #Food
Lack of time for Noise, sick children. Now it seems that we can drop them off at school tomorrow! Tonight we eat fresh potatoes, meatballs, cream sauce and "rårörda lingon" / lingonberries mixed with sugar. #Food
Red, red, red in the crypto portfolio. Always boring, but the older you get, the wiser you become. I myself only have about 5% of my capital in the crypto market. And most of that capital is tied up in mining. So my contracts are still worth the same and I can bring down the average price of my crypto holdings. You have to think long-term. Today, biotech shares are doing well.
Lunch at Köksträdgården Lockryd, Borås, Sweden. High ribs that have been baked overnight and mashed potatoes. Very tasty! 😋 #Food
More rhubarb! Today I was craving rhubarb lemonade. Rhubarb, lemon, sugar and water. Very refreshing on a hot day like today!
Homemade kebab pizza. Tomato sauce, lots of cheese and kebab meat / beef. Think it's easiest to make a big pizza on a baking sheet. Two kinds of sauces, mild and extra strong. #Food
What a wonderful day and got much done. The sun is strong so our mangoes ripen quickly. Among other things, we have fixed the kidshairstyles before the last day of school, which is tomorrow! Then we have summer vacation! Swim, fish, grill.
Warm sandwiches. I remember when my mother made these when I was young. This is exactly the same as I cook today. White bread, mushroom stew, ham, pineapple and grated cheese. #Food
Friday breakfast! Fresh broccoli and smoothie (mango, pineapple, lingonberry and black currant). Just pour a little boiling water on the broccoli and add salt. Preserves all vitamins and minerals. 👍🏻😊 #Fruit
Friday's experiment! Blackcurrant and rhubarb syrup. Sweet, sour and a incredible aroma! Will be great to have on pancakes, waffles, ice cream .. 😋
Friday's beer comes from Spain, a DIPA (Double IPA). Tango down, 8.8%. Very fruity taste with clear bitterness and slight sweetness, hints of mango, pine resin, dried pineapple. Cooling when removing the outer layer from scalded almonds. Tonight it will be a classic Swedish dish with saffron and almonds. Hmm .. 🤔
Tonight we are having a real Swedish delicacy! Saffron pancake or Gotland pancake. Gotland is a Swedish island. The oven pancake was mainly part of the party food and has been known on Gotland since the 18th century. Eggs, rice grits, chopped almonds, cream, sugar and saffron. Can be served as lunch, dinner or dessert! #Food
Good afternoon! Today we are going to have a picnic. Will be sandwiches with chicken and potato salad, American pancakes, mango, broccoli, cherry tomatoes. Windy and cloudy today but it will probably go well. 😊
We have our picnic just outside the city, it feels like it will start raining this afternoon. A cozy place on "Göta" in Borås. Here "Lillån" / small river flows past.
Meat! This is a nice piece of Swedish beef, about 1kg. Will marinate it overnight in garlic and some other goodies. Tomorrow it goes into the oven for 7-8 hours. Will be delicious! #Food
Even more rhubarb! Plenty of rhubarb at this time of the year. Today I make pink syrup, rhubarb syrup. Water, sugar and rhubarb. Boil, strain, reduce liquid to a heavenly beautiful syrup. 💚
Although I almost never follow recipes, my cooking is successful, But my blackcurrant syrup that I did a few days ago did not turn out as I had imagined. I boiled it for a long time and misjudged how much impact the natural pectin is in the berries. It turned into blackcurrant jelly when it had cooled. However, I do not mind because it will be yummy with the meat dish that is in the oven that we will have tonight. 😊
Long-baked beef with fresh potatoes, cream sauce and blackcurrant jelly. #Food
Good morning Noise! Powerbars and other things that people take after exercise in all glory .. Still think it is better to eat / drink naturally. Today I make rhubarb & ginger water with a touch of rhubarb syrap and a smoothie on rhubarb, lingonberries and blackcurrants. Vitamin and mineral boost!
Roasted paprika soup topped with chopped almonds and thyme. Oven-roasted the paprika so that I can remove the skin. Very smooth and full of flavor! #Food
Lovely with a picnic in the sun. Freshly baked American pancakes with rhubarb syrup.
Today is my wife's birthday and she wanted chicken for supper. More specifically chicken with garlic sauce that I make at regular intervals. A simple cold sauce made from creme fraiche, garlic, salt and pepper. Will also be a rhubarb pie. 😋
Chicken with garlic sauce served with rice. The chicken is fried in olive oil, salt and black pepper. The dessert is a rhubarb pie with custard. Now everyone is full. #Food
Good morning Noise! Today me and the kids having a real summer breakfast! Lots of fruit. Mango, watermelon, honeydew melon .. 😋 #Fruit

Go Sweden! Time for the European Football Championship. Will we see Sweden's first goal in the tournament ?! 😄
Sweden won! We celebrate with takeaway food (not really, the food was already ordered. 😊We only follow football during the bigger tournaments). Today we were hungry for Chinese food. Fried squid, fried chicken, noodles, sweet and sour sauce, peanut sauce. Nice to end the week with having the food cooked by someone else. Wish you all a awesome weekend!
Berries, berries, berries! Now things are starting to happen. Gooseberries, raspberries, currants. Love it!
Lemon balm. Love to chew on the leaves. Super useful plant and has many health benefits. Now that it grows the most when it is hot, I usually mix the leaves with ginger, water and a little honey.
Sun and barbecue. Spicy sausage, corn, potatoes , grilled cheese, tzatziki. And my mother has baked an authentic Swedish cream cake with strawberries. #Food
Lemon thyme. Unlike regular thyme, lemon thyme has a strong lemon taste and lemon scent. Perfect for fish, chicken and pork. Will use this spice tomorrow, either in a cold sauce or marinade.
Finally it starts to blow a little cold winds. Has been very hot today. Making a refreshing and very healthy drink. Mixing lemon balm, ginger and honey with water. Strain a couple of times and remove the starch (white foam). Not the nicest color but tastes good. To balance all the healthiness , I having a nice beer / DIPA from Spain. 😊
The children are asleep and now we are tired after a full day out in the sun. I throw together a couple of refreshing drinks made on white wine, rhubarb syrup and lemon. Have a nice evening Noise!
Good morning Noise! For those who have been following me for a while, here is an update on the latest mango seed that we planted. It grows well!
Today we will experiment with lemon thyme, one of the spices I picked yesterday. Will use it for two things in today's dish. First in a pork tenderloin marinade. Sea salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon thyme and olive oil. Grind everything and marinates the meat for a couple of hours. I will also make a sour cream sauce on garlic and lemon thyme. #Food
Garlic and lemon thyme marinated pork tenderloin. Served with rice and a cold sauce made from sour cream, garlic, lemon thyme, salt and black pepper. Fresh and summery flavors. #Food
Good morning! Great start to a new week. Gym and a fruity breakfast. Mango and currant smoothie, peach and lemon balm. It will rain today and tomorrow, but on Wednesday we plan to visit an old forest where you can fish for brown trout!
Today I had no dish planned. Nice with a fiber and vitamin boost for me and the kids (wife works late today). Oatmeal, mango, honeydew melon and a milkshake of frozen mango, currants, milk and a tablespoon of honey. #Food
Cloudy but not raining today. We take a bike ride and replenish the energy with ice cream. 😋
Time to chill after a long bike ride. I make Dalgona coffee with vanilla flavor. Instant coffee, sugar, vanilla sugar, add some water and mix fluffy. The children get cherries.
Since I have some rhubarb left over from what we picked up last time, I make a little more rhubarb lemonade. So summery and fresh! Will be a surprise to the children tomorrow when it has cooled down in the fridge overnight.
Good afternoon! Wonderful day ahead of us. Soon we will go out into the woods and try to catch brown/brook trout. A shy fish but I have some tricks up my sleeve. And tonight Sweden plays in European Championship. We have stocked up on chips and sweets. Wish you all an awesome day!
Wonderful weather for fishing, however, an incredible amount of mosquitoes. We only use hook and worm. Allows the worm to flow naturally in the stream. Had not intended to take any fish home with me but two swallowed the hook… Will be brook trout for supper. 😊
Summer delicacy. Freshly caught brook trout with home-grown fresh potatoes. The fish is oven-baked in foil with fennel, lemon, honey and salt. #Food
Good late afternoon! Busy day and now it's time for evening cooking. There will be potatoes and leek soup. For this we will also have garlic bread with ramson leek salt. Ramson leek is a rather rare plant species, found on deciduous meadows and groves. It has a strong taste reminiscent of garlic but also in the direction of leeks and chives.
Creamy potatoes and leek soup. I usually mix the soup smooth but now that we have fresh potatoes (contains less starch) I mash everything with a potato pestle. Served with garlic bread with ramson salt. #Food
Sangria, perfect summer drink. Red wine, apple juice, cinnamon, citrus fruits and apple slices. Top with carbonated water. Wonderful end to the day, the sun is setting. Have a good evening Noise!
Glad midsommar! / Happy midsummer! A day that we take extra seriously in Sweden. Usually we go out and meet a lot of people, dance and sing around the midsummer pole. But since we are still in a pandemic, we go on a picnic in the forest instead. Sausage and creamcheese sandwiches, fruits and ”french toast” made on leftover bread edges from yesterday. Mix the edges with milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon. Fry them crispy! And tonight, of course, there will be meatballs! 😊
Typical Swedish forest in the summer. Thick, green and plenty of blueberry bushes. In a month it will be full of berries to pick.
No midsummer celebration without strawberries, real Swedish strawberries! Served with whipped cream. 😋
Fresh potatoes, meatballs, sour cream, chives and butter. Recurring during the Swedish midsummer. Tomorrow, the celebration continues on Midsummer Day. Then there will be pickled herring, smoked salmon and other goodies. And my brother and his family are coming to visit! Have a nice evening Noise! #Food
There are certain parts of the plant kingdom that really define summer and are given summer flavors. One of them is of course strawberries, but even the close relative has a great summer feeling about their aroma and taste - "Smultron" / wild strawberries. It has intense, sweet and very special taste.
We continue our celebration of midsummer. Great weather, good food and the family together. Salmon, herring, meatballs, sausages, fresh potatoes and for dessert it will be strawberries with whipped cream! #Food
Unlike the low-creeping European species of blueberry, which grows in the Swedish forests, the American blueberry is a deciduous shrub that can grow up to 4 meters tall and often grows in dense thickets. The pulp of the berry is light green in contrast to the red-violet pulp of the European berry. We have one bush that gets berries every year and it can withstand the cold Swedish winter.
Mating season for red beetle. Ended up in middle of the action. Just over a centimeter-sized, red beetle that eats on aspen leaves both as a fully formed beetle and as a larva.
End the day with a drink and watch the exciting round of 16 in the match between Italy and Austria. A drink made from frozen mango, strawberries, rhubarb syrup and white wine. Very fresh! Have a good Saturday night Noise!
Hot dogs! Always trying to do something new when we eat Hot dogs. Today I made a roasted garlic mayonnaise. Mayonnaise, roasted garlic, salt, pepper and lime. For this we had red onion, chives and lens chips with ranch flavor. #Food
Good afternoon! Lovely summer day and we explore the forest. Will be plenty of forest raspberries / wild raspberries this year. Smaller and sweeter than the traditional raspberries that are grown in the garden.
Good morning! Wonderful day, we are down in town to celebrate the 400th anniversary of our city Borås, Sweden. Will be many different activities. Now it's an air show.
Pizza with my princess. Today we eat her favorite, kebab pizza. At Pizzeria Pinocchio. It was started at the same time as the sculpture by Pinocchio (Walk in Borås) was inaugurated, for those who have followed my posts. 😊
Great fishing in ”Pickesjön” just outside Borås with an old friend. Talk old memories, drink coffee and of course enjoy the nice weather! We were looking for trout but it did not want to be caught today. However, we caught two large European perch. This size is perfect for cooking!
Good afternoon! Warm, cloudy and humid afternoon. Today I make more vitamin water. Mix mango, ginger and rhubarb. A water that really feels good for the body when you drink it! 💪
Now I have decided what to do with the fish we took home yesterday. Fillet the fish and then fry it. Then I will make a creamy sauce with shitake mushrooms and serve everything with fresh potatoes.
What a feast! Easily one of the tastiest meals I have cooked! The perch has a meaty taste, and tastes incredibly good because the lake we got them in has very good water. Salt, pepper and turn the fillets into flour. Fry in butter. For this I make a sauce of shallots, garlic, shiitake mushrooms and cream. Have in a teaspoon of meat broth, which goes well with the fish and also shitake, which also has a slightly meaty taste. Served with Swedish fresh potatoes. YUM! 😋 #Food
