Reheated cheese pizza. Wish I was at Zone's!

The irony is that that is specifically what's for dinner tonight...

Again

[Opsa]

Swiss cheese and fresh spinach with brown mustard on wheat bread. I call it the "vegetarian Swato". 

[Swatopluk]

I just put a baguette and a few breadrolls into the oven. Half an hour to early dinner. (Only the baguette is for me)

Poor Swato and his ailing tum! Hope you feel better.

You probably don't want to know that I just had a mini mint Three Musketeers bar that I had stashed in my freezer from Halloween.

At least (moderate amounts) of pretzelsticks are an old co-remedy in case of upset stomach and I actually like the remedial herbal tea.

Yesterday, I had blodpalt with fried cured pork and lingonberries. Blodpalt is a kind of dumpling, made out of barley and wheat flour, mashed bolied potatoes, blood (preferrably veal or reindeer blood) , a pinch of salt and pepper and then boiled in a strong broth. A sort of cross between dumplings and black pudding, perhaps? Oh, and as a starter, I had siksallad, a salad of brined whitefish, sour cream, cucumbers and some veggies.

Today, it was split pea soup followed by pancakes, served in the nearest of the houses in the background cluster on the left of this picture:

Yup, I am working above the arctic circle again.

If you could actually procure some, I would be sorely tempted to jump on the next connection to Berlin. Some icelandic friends once treated me and Darlica to hakarl, fermented shark, and we found it delicious. A strong aroma, to be sure, but with a very interesting smooth texture and a wonderful flavour reminiscent of well-matured cheese, browned butter and roasted nuts, with a whiff of ammonia. We drank caraway-flavoured brennivin (vodka of the jet fuel variety) to the shark, which was a very good complementary flavour. Seriously, if you are at all interested in foods an flavours, and get the chance to tray out icelandic fermented shark, you really ought to do so. It's an experience.
