Prodigious Protein Pasta
Wouldn't it be good to have a vegetarian alternative to meat-sauce full of proteins and tasty as ever - this Sauce is as good with pasta as with rice, bulgur or couscous. -NOT only for vegetarians; but for everybody. Many scientists agree that at least one vegetarian meal a week would do many, many people good and additionally it is good for the environment. This; for those of you who do not know, is because an animal only saves 15% of what it eats. Thus if it eats one kilogram of meat (I know pigs and alike don't eat meat; this is just an example); when you slaughter it, you will only have 150 grammes of meat left. It would then have been better to just eat the pig's food, you might think, and yes that's the idea of being a vegetarian (to many). So basically vegetarians eat the pig's food and can thus eat one kilogram of food when a meat-eater eats 150 grammes of food.
Found this marvellous recipe, edited it and tried it... One word; Terrific...
1/2 a decilitre of chopped leek
1/2 decilitre of lentils
1 decilitre of water
Pour these ingredients into a casserole and let simmer until the lentils are soft and creamy. Should take about 7 minutes. Put the cooked leek-lentils in a bowl (size does not matter).
Snake some oil into the unwashed casserole - be generous. Add 1,5 - 2 decilitres of shredded carrots. Let fry - stir meanwhile. After a few minutes; 2 mayhap (when the carrots have a yellowish colour to them - They shall not be entirely yellow; mostly orange but somewhat yellowish) Pour the leek-lentils into the casserole. Add also 2 decilitres of milk, one vegetable stock and two generous teaspoons of curd cheese. Never stop stirring after you've added the milk (you don't want it to burn). Let the mixture simmer for about 1-3 minutes. (depending on how well fried your carrots are and how hard your lentils are) Thereafter, Add some potato or corn starch premixed with water. When the sauce is creamy - remove from the heat and serve with pasta, rice, bulgur or couscous. If you start boiling pasta, rice... when you start to boil the lentils it should be done at about the same time as the sauce.

Did you know that?
Visst ni att en kropp väger några kilo mindre efter att en människa avlidit? Nähä, men nu vet ni det.
Det som jag tycker är intressant är att man inte vet varför. Visst, det kan bero på att alla muskler slappnar av och då rinner ju oftast kroppvätskorna ut (dvs bajs och kiss)^^
Men så är det ju inte alltid, men man kan mäta att kroppen blir lättare. Vissa tror att det är själen som försvinner.. vad tror du?
Something to think about, right?

Tuna mix; sinfully delicious on a slice of bread as well as with baked potato
Perfect for brunch!
Recipe;
2 decilitres of sour cream or crème fraiche (I haven't used crème fraiche so I don't know how that tastes but it was wonderful with sour cream and if you feel you don't need those additional calories (30% fat instead of 11%) then I think you ought to choose sour cream)
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard (I used regular mustard)
2 tablespoons of capers
1-3 teaspoons of (the delicious spice of) lemon-pepper
1 decilitre of red onion - finely-chopped
400 grammes (3 tins) of tuna.
Mix all the creamy ingredients and the lemon-pepper first then add the capers, the tuna and the onion.
//OSS
Lentil-bread
Make the lentils (I used red ones)
1 decilitres of Lentils
2 decilitres of water
1/2 a teaspoon of salt
Let simmer for ten minutes or so.
Bread;
Mix the lentils with 2 decilitres of water and liquidise.
Pour the lentil-liquid into a bowl. Add 5 decilitres of tepid water and 50 grammes of Yeast. Stir until the yeast has blended with the other ingredients. Then add 2 teaspoons of salt, 1/2 a decilitre of oil (corn, rape-seed or some other tasteless oil) and 1-2 tablespoons of syrup. Stir. Add 3-4 decilitres of oat flakes. Lets swell. After 5 minutes add wheat flour; 10-12 decilitres (until the dough is no longer sticky).
Let rise for about 45 minutes covered by a cloth (preferably in a warm place).
Shape two loaves and put them upon a baking sheet. Put the sheet upon the cooker and switch on the oven (175 degrees Celsius). Let the loaves rise for about half an hour then shove them into the middle of the oven and bake them for 25-30 minutes.
PS. I didn't make the picture it's taken from the ICA-website and I believe they hold the copyright.

Why does time escape?(!)
Today, I feel like the only thing I've managed to do since seven thirty AM, is that I've taken a bike ride in to the city (to buy fortune cookies, of which I will naturally blog once I've tried them). I have of course, as well, taken two walks, though since I do that everyday, that doesn't feel like the greatest achievement.
Tomorrow, however, I will make a day trip to Helsingborg with some friends. I am in this very moment making lentil-bread (will post the recipe as soon as I possibly can), which I will bring as nosebag.
This Evening, I am as well trimming my leg-muscles, I am also stretching using a new breathing technique, which I will describe thoroughly in a post.

Novella today
Man and woman, baby and child, descend your high horse
Change you habits or feel remorse
This planet needs saving and I mean now
Don't lie around like a lazy old cow
The planet is heating, the poor ones are starving
This is your future, you're carving
Take action NOW! Is this what you want?
If not, then, we'll explain what can be done and what can't?
We will make a series of posts
Explaining and informing from coast to coast
Read and do your best - we'll try not to be vague
or else who knows what'll turn out to be our greatest plague
We will seriously do a series of posts related to the greatest problem of our time; that is; the environmental problem. We don't know exactly when but most probably withing a few days (as soon as I've spoken to Julia about it) By the by, we might, and I say might, be seeing a new poster on this blog as of the start of the Environmental-posts-series.

That Gummie Gummie'll Make You Yummie Yummie
Pun's finished - now today's interesting fact:
Friday, 16 July 2010
Health-Guru Oskar Informs
Hello Blogosphere!
I know that I didn't update yesterday, but luckily Julia did so... Yesterday was one of those 'lazy-days' if you know what I mean - didn't quite get anything done... I decided, yesterday, however, that today would be better - that is to say, more of a constructive day, on which was supposed to do both yoga, cooking, blogging and writing - Well you see how well that unraveled... Not so, I have done yoga, cooking and soon blogging - but mostly, I've just chilled - But what the heck, it is summer-holidays, n'est-ce pas?
Anyway, the reason why I'm blogging, disregarding the fact that I feel that I must, is that I, today, have discovered a healthier lifestyle (or something). "Yeah", I know, It sounds like one of those rags like "Se&hör" (in Sweden) (Something like 'star' in the united states) (seriously doubt that such crap magazines exists in Britain). How much it ever might sound like something taken from a rag, I must say I consider it a sincere assertion. You see, yesterday, I saw the most exiting teaser on the series 'Sex Education Show' with the lovely, fresh and upfront reporter Anna Richardson. I decided that, I'd check on TV3Play (The Swedish channel 3's on Demand-service) to see whether I could watch the last episode there... I couldn't...
Instead I checked whether 'youtube.fr' offered anything on the subject. It did and there I also found out that the commercially powered British channel4 served it on Demand. A few (swear)words of delight might have slipped me at this point :-P
Link Channel4;
( http://sexperienceuk.channel4.com/sex-education/season/archives/season-1 )
Thus, I watched about 14 or so episodes of 'Sex Education Show' earlier today. It is not as bad as it sounds though. This isn't one of those 'porn-shows' actually is educative and informative. It is hard to explain, I can promise you that, But the show doesn't make you feel filthy, had you been watching 'Another Gay Movie', it makes you feel healthy, self-ascertained and confident. It does not make you feel deficient in anyway - au contraire - I promise.
Another thing I discovered today, Is that eating is not as hard as I earlier thought. You see, with all those diet-tips out there one feels rather uncomfortable - can I eat that - Oh my god it has 15% fat... So forth. It wasn't like I was following a diet or so but you know, one tend to be affected (especially since I was rather over-weight as a child). Today, however, I read a part of my old cooking-class-book from compulsory-school and I found that the method used in that book was so simple. When it's party, it's party and when it's not, it's not. So don't eat 'wasted calories' (candy, cookies and chips etc.) when it's and everyday-day. When there's a party - sure have some, but not too much. Another tip, which I really liked was that, that once a week one should eat a meat-free-meal. Meat is expensive, deficient and bad for the environment, so eat less.
This was tips from 'tha' Health-Guru

helsingborgsäventyr
Jag har inte riktigt haft tid att skriva denna veckan, det är därför jag har varit kass på att uppdatera mig (dålig ursäkt, men ack så sann)
Jag var med en väldigt god vän Gabriella vid havet i helsingborg i måndags. Det behövde jag, en riktig girls day! Det var länge sedan, jag känner att jag nästan slutat umgås med folk, och det känns inte så bra. Men i alla fall, vi var i helsingborg, och solen stekte verkligen mot skinnet, det var nästan obehagligt varmt, och eftersom det just var så varmt var det också lite jobbigt att gå ner i havet när man kände att man snart skulle få solsting. Jo, vattnet räckte en till midjan direkt efter att man klivit i, och ja, de känsligare delarna fick en liten chock! Hehe!
Väl nere i vattnet var det en snubbe som kastade en boll i Gabbies huvud, och den jäkeln bad inte ens om ursäkt. Det är något jag ogillar skarpt, att folk inte ber om ursäkt längre. De skrattar lite och säger ofta "oj".
Vi var också med i en tävling, tele 2 anordnade den.. vi vann inte biljetter till The Ark. Det var en "gissa introt" tävling. Vi fick den hemska kategorin "Balader från 2000-talet". Både jag och Gabbie kände direkt att det här inte var vår grej. Det visade sig att det inte heller var det.. Vi fick ett poäng (fatta hur dåliga vi är), men snubben som höll tävlingen fick det till att vi hade 3? Knasboll? Vi fick i alla fall tröstprid, ett frankfår från tele2, som nu sitter på pappas kontor i malmö, tillsammans med en stor pingvin^^
Efter äckliga skoskav från min mors snygga skor och några kronor fattigare begav vi oss hem, till jaa...ensamheten!
Viva La Moi!

I love audiobooks!..
...though having listened to the Harry Potter-books 5-10 times (Depending on which book- think I've listened to the fourth one the most - circa 10 times) I feel like it's time to try something new. My friend Linda, happened to mention that the book 'Pride and prejudice' was a nice read and thus I decided on giving it a try. If it's any good... Remains to see :-)

Exhausted!
Today, we've got a temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) in Sweden. The atmospheric humidity is very high and I feel nothing less than exhausted... I wonder if this has to do with the heat and the humidity for in that case, I don't think I like this heat very much - it makes every muscle in my body feel exhausted had I trained for hours, not to mention that it makes my head go foggy...
Have you experienced or are you experiencing this? Do you mayhap know why we're feeling like this? Please leave a comment :-)
And by the way the coffee isn't making anything better either...

To the scums of this society
Did you know that in Sweden, a criminal has a better life than an old person. Yes, it really is true, awful right? There's a rule that says; that a criminal must breath fresh air once a day - a person living at an old people's home is happy if he may breath fresh air once a year! And about the food; three times as much money is spent on the criminals' food compared with the old people's. Three bloody times as much! Do the scums deserve that?! I mean we can make nutritious food for our pigs and that costs mayhap 3 pence a pig - do the pigs within bars deserve better food?
As this makes me so angry I decided to make a novella Today:
A scum is always a scum - he shalln't live of the society like some sort of bum
He has broken his chances beyond repair - he can no longer live in flare
His crack has been sold, he is becoming old
He doesn't deserve respect, for he is now and for all eternity defect
He deserves no money, food or freedom, his life is now condemned to whoredom

Gudrun Schyman - en smart liten dam :-)
Gudrun Schyman... Hon brände inte mindre än 100 000 kronor i en demonstration mot att kvinnor tjänar mindre pengar än män med samma jobb. Då jag först hörde detta tyckte jag att det var dumt och onödigt, men ju mer jag tänkte på det destå smartare framträdde det.
"En halvsides annons i en kvällstidning hade jag inte fått för denna summa", eller något liknanade, sade Gudrun innan hon satte fyr på pengarna. Och om detta nu är sant så tycker jag att detta är ett mycket effektivare och tydligen billigare sätt att nå ut med detta budskap. on använder gratis-reklamen. DVS. Hon gör något o acceptabelt och i rapporteringen om det sprids hennes budskap - på detta sätt når budskapet även folks middagsbord och fika-raster. Då det talar om schyman talar de om pengarna och då kommer frågan upp = Varför? I protest mot kvinno förtrycket... etc.
Tummen upp Schyman :-)

I was lured to the Lake of Lure-Lake ... again and again
I have been bathing today *cough* Yeah right, bathing, you wish.*
Well, really there wasn't much bathing going on there, I was mostly just reading, though you will be surprised to hear that I really did take a bath. A trick of Anna's (a friend of my mother's) lured me into descending to waist height into the lake's water. And what more is, she lured me into staying there the whole weekend and there's no bloody Internet-connection there! Dot dot dot - I will as follows not be able to blog on the day after tomorrow unless I manage to post a little something in the evening when I come home.
I am desolated about this, I must say. I feel sorry for you all and I hope that, though I'm not blogging as often as I would like to, you will continue to read what I am writing.

Hello I'm finally back!
Yes indeed I am back; been back for a few hours, I have. However, I feel rather tired and my body feel as tender as ever before. I have ridden my bicycle (with the most uncomfortable seat anybody has ever sat on, I don't doubt) 8 Swedish miles - equals about 50 English miles.
Now, why in the name of Merlin would he want to ride 50 miles on a bicycle most uncomfortable?, you might ask yourselves? Well, you see, I did it all for you! You readers... I forgot the recharger fitting my Asus 1000H miniPC - that meant that I was unable to blog anything, which naturally would have been a horrific occurrence, especially as I had not blogged anything for four entire days. There was naught to do but to heave my normal sized backside onto the seat of my bicycle and ride away...
As I have spent a few days at my Grandmother and Grandfather's place, I have not been able to buy the Xperia X10 mini Pro which I have so carefully been planning to buy for quite some time now. I must thus buy it fast as possible so that I'll be out and about at the same time whilst blogging.

Coupez le bacon en tranches fines. Mets les tranches dans un casserole grosse et serpentez un peu d'huile sur le bacon. Allumez la cuisinère et attandez jusqu'à ce qu'il est chaud. Ensuite, coupez les oignons en pièces pitites. Mets les oignons dans la casserole chaude. Melangez avec un scoop. Ajoutez le riz et melangez.

The cellular telephone, the, according to many indispensable gadget
As you might have read, or assembled, from what I've written here at the Blog, my cellphone has taken a bath (in the salty Mediterranean sea). I have used an old cellphone for about two weeks now and I'm longing to buy a new one. Though there's much to consider before buying a new telephone, not least, the price.
However, the loss of my telephone was not as horrible as it might seem to you; I had been looking for a new one for quite a while (since January). In February, I saw a prototype of the telephone Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro - an Android smartphone... I saw the potential in the gadget at once of course; that it had Android as an OS (Operating System) was a clear advantage; not to mention the seriously well-spaced qwerty-keyboard.
For those of you who don't know; android is the clear contestant to Apple's OSX -with the slight difference that android stands for freedom whilst Apple stands for chauvinism (I wouldn't expect you iPhone-lovers to comprehend...).
However, with that telephone, which by the way was out on the shelves two (or three I'm not certain) days ago, I'll be able to blog while on the go - Isn't that great!
We'll see whether I'll buy that telephone or not.

Enjoy it:-D
I thought this required a novella Today:
Whether you're young or old, whether you're freshly baked or covered in mould
Take a grip on yourself, enjoy it now, before, you fall of the shelf
By it, I mean life, whether you're single or somebody's husband or wife
Do what you'd like, cheer up now, do that which you know they would not allow
Sex might be forbidden, even hidden, but confined is the one that stoops to what's bidden
Calls you a slut(!), I would tell them to keep the feeding gap tightly shut
Be strong, assert, people will think you're cool and you need not convert
However, however, you and your life shall not yet sever.

SEX and the CITY
Jag har funderat över vad det är som gör Sex and The city till en sådan bra/rolig serie. Som en snubbe sade en gång: " De är bara ett gäng slampor som har sex med allt som rör sig." Detta är sant, men varför ses detta egentligen som smutsigt? Spelar det någon roll? Är det egentligen något fel på det? Är det viktigaste inte att man njuter av livet. ( Nu säger jag inte att man skall sticka knivar i folk, bara för att en del "njuter" av det)
Om vi ser på Samantha, den äldsta av dem och också den största slampan, hon ligger verkligen med ALLA, eller ja, i stort sätt i alla fall. Trivs hon med det? svar: Ja. Skäms hon över det? Svar: nej, verkligen inte. Hon trivs med det, hon är lycklig och framgångsrik. Som de säger i ett ganska tidigt avsnitt av serien. Att kvinnor kan också ha sex som män (säger vekligen inte att alla män är sådana) , vi borde också ha det! Utan känslor efteråt. Samantha är ett perfekt exenplar av en sådan kvinna. (hon är också den intressantaste och roligaste personen i serien, vilket inte riktigt är så viktigt just nu). Det jag egentligen vill framföra är att även män är slampor, det vet vi ju egentligen, men det nämns inte ofta, och ses inte som lika smutsigt... det stör mig^^
Varför jag snackar om Sex And The City serien är eftersom vi har blivit lite smått beroende av den här hemma nu över sommaren.. Hallå, ni som inte sett den.. sätt igång!
Den handlar inte bara om sex, även om det är en del av serien. Serien försöker också få fram "att kvinnor också kan". That's it!
wellwell...
