Gastronomy Chart A silly piece depicting my personal experiences with food linked to various constellations in the sky.

Image ID beneath Read More cut contains over 70 food puns in a list. This is a long list, and a lot of puns, so I'm not going to subject everyone to all that without their consent.

Food questions for the Muse(s) // 🍴 - Do you cook and/or bake often? (and/or) 🍳 - What does your breakfast look like?

🍴 - Do you cook and/or bake often?

"Oh, I sure do! .. I'll usually cook for myself, but I've also done that for others, as well ... Especially for those who I care for. Homecooked or baked items always make such lovely gifts for anyone who enjoys them"

🍳 - What does your breakfast look like?

"Depends on the day, really! ... If I'm in a rush, I'll simply just grab myself a croissant, danish pastry, or a jam on toast with a regular cream an' sugar coffee or an earl grey tea .... But .. if it's a lazy day, then I'll take my time an' make myself either somethin' sweet like homemade waffles or french toast with a drizzle of syrup, topped with some whipped cream an' strawberries or blueberries ... Or, maybe somethin' a bit savory like an omelette with eggs, cream cheese, chilli chives, an' some smoked salmon .... A good Birds Nest toast is also pretty nice"

Landbaserad laxodling i Hirtshals med svenska ägarintressen

Landbaserad laxodling i Hirtshals med svenska ägarintressen

Danish Salmon A/S i Hirtshals som odla lax i en landbaserad anläggning har framgångsrikt producerat lax i sin RAS-odlingsanläggning. Men produktionen är ännu för liten för att ge lönsamhet. Anläggningen behöver byggas ut för att kommersiellt gångbar odling ska vara möjlig. Ägare av Danish Salmon A/S är japanska Marubeni med 50%, likaledes japanska Nippon Suisan (Nissui) med 15% och Skagen Salmon…

Anyone like Bernard Lee or Desmond Llewelyn who’s done more than 8 James Bond films also qualifies I guess, as I’ve seen them all…

Let me stress that many movies up there are utter shite.

6. A film you wish you hadn’t watched?

A lot of the stupid crap up there. Otherwise, either Nymphomaniacs or Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom, but for different reasons actually. The first one is pretentious and disgusting and loathsome. The second one… I can squint and see some merits to it I guess? It’s just that I thought I was ready to see it when actually it really was too much, even for me. The scat scenes had me almost throwing up and the ending fucked me up real bad.

9. The most aesthetically pleasing movie you’ve ever watched?

I’m biased because it’s my favourite film, but… Gattaca. The aesthetics is just perfect and I find it very soothing.

Quite different, but I really love the aesthetics of Call Me By Your Name. I thought the film pretentious, its characters flat, and the emotions lacking, but I’m utterly enamored with the Lazy North Italian Summer Aesthetic it’s got going :D Fruit orchards, old grand house full of art and books, rivers and lakes, gorgeous scrumptious food, bike rides on country roads… I want to bask in it all…

The Feast of the Seven Fishes-New MC Fanfic

This is just something I threw together for Christmas in my continuing effort to show how Sharon and Andy spent their first year of marriage together. I got the inspiration from Tony who talked about this Sicilian tradition in an interview and how he hoped to go back to his roots and host one in the future. Can totally see Andy embracing the whole family this way.

You can read here https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13157919/1/The-Feast-of-the-Seven-Fishes or here https://archiveofourown.org/works/17160020 or here:

Sharon gazed up at the 15 foot Douglas fir placed in the corner of their living room. It was so tall that her 6 foot 1-inch husband had struggled to get the angel straight, even on a ladder. It had been a long time since she’d had a live tree, let alone one this big. A high ceiling was one of the many attributes of their new home.  The tree was beautiful, filled with ornaments from their pasts and new ones they had purchased together—including the special stained glass shamrock ornament reading “Ireland 2018” that they had purchased on their honeymoon in Ireland.

Last year at this time, she was still recovering from the mild bout of cardiomyopathy that had thankfully turned out to be more of an annoyance than anything else. She’d had to take some time off to allow the virus to run its course and they’d decided to put off their search for a new home until she was feeling stronger. Now, they had this beautiful Spanish Revival, with its high exposed wood beam ceilings, wrought iron chandeliers and the extra spare rooms that would house some of the family members who would be descending on their home tonight. Boughs of holly were draped along the stone fireplace mantle where their stockings were lined up in a row. Live wreaths hung on the walls, filling the air with the scent of balsam pine. Gorgeous full poinsettias in red and white graced the coffee table, the end tables and the top of Sharon’s piano—her housewarming gift from Andy. A strategic sprig of mistletoe dangled in the archway leading from the hall into the living room, a spot where Andy caught her at every opportunity.

She could hear him now in the kitchen, just through another graceful archway off the living room. He was in his glory, preparing for the “Feast of the Seven Fishes” a seven-course traditional Sicilian Christmas Eve meal. It was something he remembered fondly from his childhood and for as long as she had known him; he had talked about wanting to do this for their family. However, until they bought this new larger home, it hadn’t been feasible. The condo wasn’t large enough for both their extended families. This house was.

She made her way into the kitchen, watching Andy slapping together crab and salmon cakes while humming along to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” with Andy Williams. She ran her hand along his shoulders as she made her way to the stove, earning that pure Andy smile that always made her feel like she was the best thing in his world. She lifted the cover on the vat of bubbling New England clam chowder, stuck a spoon in, and took a taste. The chowder was her contribution, her grandmother’s recipe that always transported her back to summers on Nantucket.

Seven dishes was a lot of food so they were doing as much prep work as possible so all they would have to do tonight was heat everything up. They would start with bacon wrapped scallops along with traditional antipasto for hors-d'oeuvres, and then they would move into the meal. The chowder, followed by the crab and salmon cake appetizers, then a coconut shrimp salad with orange marmalade sauce, lobster rolls made with fresh Maine lobster purchased from ‘Cape Seafood and Provisions’ in West Hollywood, garlicky shrimp scampi, and baked flounder au gratin made with flounder  that Andy and Ricky caught on a fishing trip out to Catalina. Ricky and his girlfriend Tess had flown in a couple days ago and would be staying with them in one of the guest rooms. Emily was due to arrive any minute with her O’Dwyer grandparents, and Andy’s mother and his sisters Antonella, Maura, Peggy, and Gina, along with Peggy and Gina’s husbands and Gina’s daughter Sophia had settled in at a local B&B run by a friend of Sharon’s from her book club. Sharon’s sister Christine, her brother in law Ed and her nieces Jillian and Bridget were also staying at the B&B.

It was Christmas Eve, the food was prepared and Sharon’s sense of occasion had the house looking like something out of a magazine spread. A fire burned in the hearth, white lights twinkled on the large Christmas tree and ran along the built-in bookshelves that flanked the fireplace. Christmas music played softly on the Bose surround sound speakers that Ricky had helped them set up with they’d first moved in. The families mingled, some carrying wine glasses, others cut glass miniature mugs of eggnog doctored up with a little vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and nutmeg. A bottle of spiced rum sat next to the punch bowl for those who wanted a little extra zip in their nog.

Andy stood leaning against the fireplace sipping his non-spiked eggnog, listening to Celine Dion sing about another year having gone by. He had been talking with Nicole and Dean but as they moved on to get some cheese and crackers for the boys he took a moment to survey the room with pleasure. All the O’Dwyers, Raydors, and Flynn’s were under one roof. His roof. Their roof. His eyes fell on Sharon across the room near the piano. She was in a conversation with her mother, his mother, and his sister Antonella. She had changed into a red cashmere sweater dress that gently skimmed over her curves along with knee-high black suede boots. Sexy and elegant. That was his wife. As if she felt his gaze on her, she turned and caught his eyes, flashing him a broad beaming smile that lit her whole face and made him feel like the luckiest son of a bitch on the planet. When Sharon smiled at him like that, he felt like he could walk on water.

Later that night when they returned from midnight mass at St. Joseph’s and she had changed into a long white silk nightgown, he into pajama bottoms and t-shirt, he slid his iPod into the dock and clicked on one of her favorites, Michael Buble.

“Dance with me,” he said, holding out a hand. She took it and stepped into his arms, resting her head on his broad chest, swaying gently to “I’ll be Home for Christmas” thinking that Buble could even make that holiday favorite sound sexy.

“We are home, aren’t we?” she said, nuzzling into his chest. God how she loved this house near the sea.

“We are,” he agreed, rubbing his cheek against her soft fragrant hair. “But it’s more than this house. It’s you, Sharon. You’re my home. You always have been.”

She pulled back, hearing the catch in his voice. When she saw the sheen of tears displayed in his dark eyes by the moonlight shining through the French doors, she cupped a hand over his cheek. She knew he was thinking about last year at this time. “And you’re my home. As long as we’re together nothing else matters.”

“No, it doesn’t. And as far as Christmas goes, I’ve already been given the best gift ever. I‘ll never have to ask for anything else.”

She cocked her head with curiosity. “What’s that?”

“You. Here with me, healthy and well. When you were sick last year, I made a few deals with God. One of those was that I’d never ask for anything else as long as he made you well again. He kept up His end of the bargain and there’s nothing else I want or need that can ever compare to having you by my side. Forever.

Sharon felt the tear slide down her cheek and then his thumb wiping it away. “How’d I ever get so lucky to have a man like you in my life?”

“Me? I dunno. Provenza said I was the booby prize.”

Sharon gave a surprised little snort laugh. No one could make her laugh through her tears like Andy. “You’re not the booby prize,” she said. “You’re the blue ribbon all the way.  

******

Christmas morning brought more good news for the family when Dean and Nicole showed up with Tyler and Scottie who were wearing reindeer t-shirts that read “Oh Deer, I’m going to be a big brother” and the announcement that she was due in June. The entire family erupted with excitement, but none more so than Andy and Sharon who were over the moon at the idea of another grandchild.

Once the gifts were unwrapped, the paper balled up in boxes to be sent to recycling, everyone moved into the dining room for a large brunch. Casseroles, ham and cheese, sausage and hash browns, and French toast. Quiche, both veggie and bacon and Gruyere, and a variety of Danish’s, cinnamon rolls, croissants, muffins, coffee cake, and bagels were spread out on the table. It was sunny and in the mid-’60s so Sharon left the French doors open to the patio. Some ate outside under the pergola on the large farmer’s table or perched on the comfortable chairs Andy had placed in a cozy circle around the outdoor Chiminea, while others ate inside in the dining room or on the island bar in the kitchen.  

While they ate Ricky and Tess announced that they were moving in together and would be looking for a condo in San Diego or its surroundings. Tess had been working on her Master's degree in Psychology with a focus on refugee mental health and human rights at Berkeley and had interned with different programs helping refugee children and their families in the Bay area. Now with her Master’s completed, she had been offered a job working with traumatized children experiencing posttraumatic stress having come from refugee situations, many who had been tortured, abused or traumatized by watching family members killed in front of them. She would be working with the children utilizing Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. It was an amazing opportunity and she had to take it, but it meant moving over 7 hours away from Ricky and that was something they both deemed unacceptable. This time it was Ricky who would make the sacrifice. He was lucky. With his computer savvy he could pretty much find a job anywhere in the world, and in many cases, name his price. So, moving had not been a difficult decision. In fact, he informed them that he already had a few interviews lined up in cybersecurity.

Sharon was thrilled that her son was in a serious relationship with a young woman she really liked and that Ricky had been willing to make sacrifices to make the relationship work. Even better, he was now going to be an easily drivable distance away. Less than two hours! He and Andy had already been talking about fishing trips and Dodger games.

A little later while everyone was relaxing inside and they were burning cardboard in the Chiminea, Andy slipped an arm around Sharon‘s waist. “Looks like 2019 is going to be another great year for us.”

“Yes, it does.” She rested her head on his shoulder with a contented sigh. “A new baby, Ricky getting serious with Tess and moving closer to home and our first full year in our new house.”

Andy looked inside through the French doors, his eyes falling on Emily who was laughing with his sister Gina. “Now if we can just get our girl closer to home, life would be perfect.”

Our girl. God how she loved him.

What do you typically have for breakfast? Both mun and muse. ;)

@untamed-good-ole-boy || Get to know me uncomfortably well [ accepting ]

Liv: “Coffee, mostly. Two sugars, a bit of creamer. I´m not much of an eater in the mornings. If I´m hungry though, I´ll go for bacon and eggs, fruit juice and a danish after, maybe. Or pancakes? Don´t make me choose, damnit. Cold pizza makes for great breakfast food too though, by the way.”

Me: “Coffee with a lot of milk, that´s essential. Some yoghurt, a roll with butter and jam or some cheese? It really depends if I´m watching what I eat or not. I have phases in which I try eating super clean, that´s when I cut out most carbs, proceesed sugar and fat. Then I´ll go for eggs and vegetables, maybe salmon. But always coffee.”

Astrid Fiske bygger landbaserad laxodling i Skagen istället för i Smögen

Astrid Fiske bygger landbaserad laxodling i Skagen istället för i Smögen

Svenska myndigheter gav först en massa pengar till Smögenlax Aquaculture AB för att utveckla landbaserad odling av lax. Men när det var dags att gå över till att bygga en kommersiell anläggning så sa svenska myndigheter nej till det. ett ytterst märkligt agerande. En av de stora investerarna i Smögenlax Aquaculture AB är Astrid Fiske AB.

När nu svenska myndigheter gjort det svårt eller nästan…

Food Culture in Scandinavia

By Jeffrey Whalen Yorktown

A very interesting people the Scandinavians are, the culture captures a very rich and proud history to prosperous and beautiful lands scattered around great Seas and Oceans. Scandinavians take great pride in a culture which is only matched by their glorious history and Viking ancestors.

Either it is as a result of an old or symbolic relationship they share with the sea, or because of their sometimes larger-than-life beliefs, the Scandinavian people has always had a peculiar food cultures and culinary styles.

Wonderful Scandinavian cuisines you should try

An important aspect of Scandinavian dishes is that they are very simple meals. Lovers of Scandinavian Cuisines like Jeffery Whalen from Yorktown reckon that unlike their European neighbors, Seafood is very prominent in their dishes and cuisines, and this is a primary reason why Scandinavian foods are not overcooked.

·         Surstromming

Like most Scandinavian dishes, seafood is at the center of this dish, it literally means Picked herring. Boiled potatoes, chives and lots of cream go with the herring to bring forth a delicious dish. The best part is that there are lots of flavors it can come in, and this is one special treat for you.

·         Pulsa

This literally translates to Scandia hotdogs, and just like the hotdogs we know, they are extremely yummy especially when in sandwiches. You should not miss out on these if you are in proximity of a Scandinavian restaurant.

·         Gravlax

Fish, fish, and more fish, whoever says these people are tired of fish. This is another delicious meal, which comprises of salmons that are sliced thinly. A few sprinkled salt and sugar later; you will be munching on a tasty meal. Besides, rye bread and potatoes are good options to go with this meal.

·         Smorrebrod  

One of the most delightful (yeah, permit me) of all Scandinavian foods, this food is a combination of fresh fish, meats, spreads and salads. Most times, cheese and pate is added to the combo. It is a version of bare sandwich. This dish will leave you amazed at what Scandinavians can achieve with seafood and meat.

  ·         Pea Soup

Pea soup will leave you savoring the aftertaste of the meal. Apart from the fact that it is made from fruit soup, it is also one of the most popular soup found in Sweden, and it is made from peas and bacon.

·         Smoked Salmon

With a region that has lots of sea boundaries, you cannot fault this people with fish. This delicacy is mostly served with scrambled eggs or made into sandwiches. Whichever way, this is one of the biggest export foods of the region.

·         Kottbullar

You will never know how delicious meatballs taste until they are mixed in creamy sauce and eaten with boiled potatoes. This special meal is very delicious and a good staple amongst the Scandinavians.

·         Glogg

This is a popular punch in Scandinavia; it is made with other strong drinks like wine/brandy, then sherry, almonds and raisins. The drink is brewed for merrier times like Christmas and after dinner festivities in Scandinavia, and need I not say, a very strong drink.

Jeff Whalen encourages you to visit his favorite Scandinavian cooking shows here.

The Beauty in Scandinavian foods

It is a fact that a large constituent of Scandinavian foods are natural food elements like Seafood, meats, potatoes and spices. Scandinavian households have gardens for most of the herbs and spices they use in their foods and processed foods make for little appearance on their menu. This is a big reason why Scandinavian delicacies were favorites for Jefferey Whalen all the way in Yorktown.

Apart from these listed above; here are other things you will enjoy about the Scandinavian food culture

ü  The meals are simple are symbolic

Scandinavians (usually refer themselves as Vikings) favor simple meals which make the body lighter and merrier. With a good percentage of their meals coming from seafood, and primary vegetables, these meals are also easily digestible.

ü  They have one of the healthiest diets in the world

Scandinavians do not necessarily overcook their foods; in fact, some of their foods are eaten almost raw. Overcooking meals ruins the nutrients and taste of foods, and most often such foods are bad for the health. Foods that appear in Scandinavian menus are mostly low in fatty compounds, and provide good supplements to the body.

  ü  Wide choice of cuisines available

Food choice is one thing Jeffery Whalen never had to worry about; you can never be short of choices with Scandinavian cuisines. Scandinavians are very passionate about their food culture, and have improved on these over the years with continuous inventions on mouth-watering cuisines. There are hundreds of different cuisines, from simple soups to banquets consisting of seafood and meat available

Food Culture in Scandinavia by countries

A lot of beautiful lands make up the Scandinavian region; the mainland of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and in a wider extent; Finland, Iceland and Greenland. Although they have a shared and intertwined history, there are slight cultural differences in their culinary preferences. This change is mostly subtle and will only be noticeable to one who is highly knowledgeable about the Scandinavian cuisines.

Denmark

This is the home of fish meals, and other seafood. Fish is the chief constituent of Danish cuisines, and it is generally served with potatoes, sandwich and eggs. The marzipan and smorrebrod are typical cuisines of the Danish people.

Norway

Primarily similar to their neighbors, fish is a major constituent of their diet also; from the Lutefisk, to the Smoked salmons, and on the list goes. The Norwegian herring, clipfish, stockfish are the commonest fish you will find in this region.

Sweden

Here we find a bit more of red-meat eating Scandinavians compared to other countries; deers, Elks, and Antelopes are the primary source of meat. Kottbullar, Minced Pork and other red-meat dishes are the popular cuisines in this country together with other cuisines made of fish.

Finland

Finnish cuisines are primarily based on red-meat also; Pierogis, Cloudberry sauce are some of the popular cuisines in this region. Nevertheless, other foods like Fish, potatoes and vegetables are still very prominent in their meals.

Conclusions

No matter your reservation on the Scandinavian cultures, their foods will amaze you. No matter where you find yourself, you should always visit Scandinavian restaurants and try the cuisines on their menu!
