Just wanted to see if and how this works, if it works well it is all very good 🙂 If not I’ll just have to keep doing it the same way as I have done so far.
Seem it works fine 🙂
Me and my boyfriend spent a week at Sunny Beach in Bulgaria. Or at least the hotel was in that area, we spent most of the time in the old Nesebar.
We booked the trip as an unspecified trip, meaning we didn’t know where we’d be staying until we arrived in Bourgas, all we knew was that it would be somewhere along the Bourgas Cost. Neither of us really wanted to end up in Sunny Beach, mainly because we’re not party animals 🙂 For a party animal Sunny Beach is a perfect choice though. Granted the beach itself was great, and we did spend some time there, swimming in the Black Sea 😀
As this is a blog about food and wine, I won’t talk so much about the trip, in terms of what we did, but more about the food and wine in Bulgaria. Read the rest of this entry »
Kalops is actually a rather old traditional meat stew for Sweden. Local variations may occur of course as with all traditional food. 🙂
I started writing this post a few days ago, but never got around to finishing up until now 🙂 I tried a shortcut on my beef stew, saving a little time. Worked just as good as if I had done all steps that are in the original recipe, the sauce ended up a bit lighter in color then it would have other wise though.
I skipped the browning of my meat, putting everything in the pot and putting the lid on from start 🙂 The actual cooking time will still be the same, but the time I need to give it attention is shortened, not by much, but enough to give me time to write here 🙂 Seriously the reason for doing it was I needed to put a dough on as well, to get some bread for breakfast.
The meat I got this time was veal, but normally you’d use beef 🙂 The meat traditionally used is from the front end and especially suitable for cooking in stews. I could not find out the English word or equivalent for it. Does require a bit of boiling time, but has a nice taste to it. Read the rest of this entry »
Noticed today that some posts had gone messed up somewhere along the way during an update.
They were cut short, I have no idea why, but luckily I had backups of them that was complete so they are now restored to show the full recipe 🙂
The short update is that I got a job now 🙂 Was supposed to start last Monday, but as I was down with fever then I didn’t really start until last Wednesday. Feels good to be working, it is a physical job, with a bit lifting, pushing and moving around stuff. I am a bit muscle sour by now after three days 🙂
It’s a warehouse sort of that I work in, bit hard to explain exactly what we handle, as English isn’t my first language. But I’ll try.
Firstly I can say that the work is done as a service to one of the major grocery store chains here. And each day they get food delivered in various ways, some are on loading pallets, other in wheeled carts. And when the stores has emptied the pallets or carts they are returned with the next delivery truck, and this is where we come in. We take these empty pallets, carts and other reusable packing systems, sort them and ship them back to the grocery chains central warehouse. There’s a lot of goods to sort 🙂 And mostly done manually. There’s especially one type that needs to be done manually, gray boxes in 5 sizes needs to be sorted (the meat packages and some vegetables are shipped in these boxes) and we put them on pallets, with a specific number in height and width on each pallet.
One unfortunate consequence of this is I will probably have even less time and inspiration for recipe creating. As it looks now I will mainly do the evening shift (2pm – 10 pm). When I get home I usually am a bit tired and just want to have something quick to eat, but who knows you might get to see a lot small dishes that are perfect for after a hard days work.
