I just feelt a bit sarcastic today, and then nothing is better than some Nina Hemingsson humor. It reads:"This weekend we are just going to take long lovely walks in the forrest, make apple jam and bake, yes, we are just going to have it cosy together the whole family!"
"Thankyou, that is none of mine buissnes, but you should know that it is completly fine with me, I am not judging anyone!"
I started reading a new book today, it is called The passion of new Eve, by Angela Carter. I have only read a few pages, and so far it is pretty horrible. I mean the narrative. It takes place in New York, in a undecided future where the whole city is about to collapse under violence and dirt. The blacks are getting armed and are building a wall around Harlem, and there is a guerilla group called The Women, who shot at men hanging around the pornshops. Sounds pretty exciting! I´ll keep you updated.It feelt like it was appropiate to make this day a day for books then: Window 8
This is such a great page! It is a inspiration if you are about to go traveling in Europe, and and if you´re not, atleast for me, it is a place for dreaming away for some time about all the beutiful cities you could go, and the atmosphere where the books are.
And while we are talking about books, here is a bonus window
My flatmate Lisa came home from her work in a health food ware house today with a bit of a bonus. 67 packs of tofu that had a short date! So now we will be eating tofu for some months. The thing is that I dont know of so many things to make with the, so if you know of any nice tofu recepies, please share!
Once you are at it, you could maybe tell me what I am going to do with my life as well. I feel a bit lost and confused tonight. Maybe it has something to do with just finding out that my sister, who´s 19, got in to medecine school. I am really happy for her, it is what she wants and she has been working her ase off for this. Its just that now she knows what she will do for the rest 7 years, and then she will have one of the most respected proffesions there is.
It is of course a bit scary to have almost a decade laid out for you as well, and its not that I want to become a doctor. It just feels like I am hanging and dangling in the air without even knowing really what I want.
Most of the time I enjoy my dangling though, and I feel pretty happy with the little things, with getting time to be creative and see my friends and take care of myself. But there is always the issue of knowing there is a way to pay the rent, and also a bit of the expectations that comes from the whole big society mainly, and also, unspoken from parents and family. And I do also want to find something that I feel are fun and inspiering and that I can do well, and that will pay they bills. I am just not sure what that is yet.
Bleh, I dont know. It will probably feel better tomorrow. Or after I watch some True Blood and do some knitting. Maybe I should become a vampire. No one ever seem to have expectations on them, except for not getting their blood sucken out.

Thanks for high-quality procrastination material ;)

Jag läser din blogg varje daaag! Vi använder jättemycket tofu numera. Vi steker den i tärningar och strör buljong över när vi steker, samt svartpeppar, då får de mycket smak. Sen kan man använda det i vanlig tomatsås, tomatgryta, wok-rätter eller qinoa-sallad-aktiga saker precis som man använder bönor och linser. Man ska bara undvika att koka den för mycket. Men när man steker blir det bra stekyta så då funkar den att ha i sås sen.
Det är svårt det där med livet, jag tror att du kommer hitta ett jobb eller en uppgift som liksom talar till dig, och då är det bara att följa sitt hjärta och göra just det. Behöver ju inte vara att man har en yrkestitel, det finns så mycket andra jobb som kräver breda kunskaper om en massa olika bra ämnen, och brinnande engagemang!
Jag är också livrädd att börja jobba överhuvudtaget, och att hitta ett jobb, brrrr...
Sen så har vi börjat ha mycket kanel i alla tomatsåser vi gör också, blir jättegott. Typ lök, squash, stekt tofu, champinjoner, peppar, buljong (ekologisk utan smakförstärkare, finns på många ICA), och krossade tomater och KANEL! mums.
Tack för de värmande orden, och mattipsen Ebba! Synd att det inte går att bara skicka över några paket tofu till er över datorn. Jag ska prova göra några biffar eller bollar idag tror jag, de kan ju funka bra att frysa också. Annars är en favorit grönsaker och tofu och kokosmjölk i "gula kryddor", typ curry och gurkmeja. Mmm! Men kanel låter ju gott, ska prova det mer.
Biffar och bollar av tofu tenderar att bli lite slemmiga och svåra att hålla ihop tycker jag nog. När jag skrev "wok" så menade jag wok med kokosmjölk, men även då steker vi tofun först så att den får lite yta och sen steker vi resten och sist tar vi mjölken, så tofun inte blir geggig.
I vår kokosmjölkwok brukar vi ha lime och koriander :P Men du gillar ju inte koriander tror jag. Fast jag menar inte färsk utan torr, malen.
Kraaam!
