one yummy lunch

bread cut into cubes
oil
vinegar
sugar
salt
pepper
garlic
sundried black olives
sundried tomatoes
lettuce
chicken

it's like a drug (and I am a cheap addict)

My apologies
to anyone
who does not
share my love
for photoshop-induced
overexposure.

I just can't
help myself.

on the oversized IKEA pillow

This stack of papers
is just sitting there
waiting for me to read.

now the teacher is procrastinating

Right now
I should be writing
a final exam.

an email

Someone asked:

So, is there any news from the homeland on the draw with T&T in the first round match? Swedish fans looked like there was a death at the end of the match, while the T&T fans looked like they had just won the tournament.

And the answer to that is that, no, there isn't any news. Papers and websites are full of complaining and there is a lot of use of the word 'fiasco'. But if you didn't see the match you don't learn a thing.

end of the steak

Now in a stir-fry.
It was good.

I wonder if that's a pompadour heel?

Those same shoes,
homemade photo.
(And I kind of like
the way the sun is
messing it up.)

there was a sale at macy's

I had a haircut today.
Then I got these shoes:
I really really
like flowers
on black.

Hair looks
alright too.

dinner

Same salad as yesterday.
Now with steak.

salad

I made a salad earlier.
It's all gone.
It's gone because it was good.

I fried sundried tomatoes,
chopped-up
sundried black olives,
and garlic
in olive oil and
balsamic vinegar.
Then I poured that over
arugula and butter beans.
Roasted pine nuts.
Salt, pepper.

the potion

Water, baking soda,
lemon juice.
Homemade remedy
for when
you ate too much.
Or had too much
hot chocolate.

min lilla my-mugg

Once I had a thick hot chocolate
that was really really good.
Another time I had a hot chocolate
with rhum and nutmeg
that was really really good.
Trying to recreate those two things
all in one
I made this just now,
using cornstarch
and nutmeg.
It's thick, and it tastes OK.
But it lacks a certain
I don't know what.
Maybe fat?

Whipped cream
on everything.

Day of the Swedish Flag.
Happy Flag Day!

thanks to gregorio we know this

Once,
in the 1970s,
Jesus had a haircut.

the best berries

When I was a kid
you could buy
a strawberry flavored
powder
and make
strawberry flavored
milk.
It was pink
and it was sweet.
It was the best.

climbed that mountain again

I cleaned the windows today.
And the shower.
And a venetian blind.

My back hurts.

But there is a smell
of summer wind in
the house.

And environmentally
friendly
cleaners.

it's down there

yesterday's lunch

Strawberries, mushroom,
pine nuts,
fancy lettuce
with a French name
(checked the box: mache).

It didn't taste that great.
The idea was better than
the result.
Bland.
