If you are only going to use one brownie recipe in your entire life – let this be it. (Thank you, Morten Heiberg!!)
It will give you the most moist, sticky, chocolaty, gewy, rich, wonderful and – well, fattening cake you have ever tasted.

It’s here. Winter. So is my depression.
I do like the days where sparkly crystals of snow reflect the light from a clear blue sky that seems endless; the smell of wood burning and the crunchy sound the snow makes when you walk on it. Being really cold from a snow ball fight until you […]

As January is approaching, so is my birthday.
Here is my top 10 list over things that suck about getting older – in random order:
10. Gravity. Mothereffin’ gravity, how evil you are, forcing the ever-increasing amount of loose parts of my body down, down, down towards the ground. ( Yeeees, I have touched upon […]

You need:
2 cans of coconut milk
600 grams of turkey breast or chicken

This week has been Thai food week at our house.
Seems like when you take the trouble of stocking up on fresh chilies, coriander, ginger, lemon grass and lime, you might as well make Thai food a couple of nights since these ingredients are used in a lot of different Thai dishes.

On Facebook the “90–9–1” rule applies. This rule states that 1% of people create content, 9% edit or modify that content, and 90% view the content without contributing.
So with only one percent of all the people creating real content, I on the one hand would like to encourage more people to contribute. On the other […]

2 tea spoons duck broth concentrate (or you can just use salt – it is […]

The leaves are turning yellow, red, purple and brown.
The grass is sparklingly covered with an icy layer of frost in the mornings. It is time for some comforting food. It is time to light candles and put on some Ella Fitzgerald, pour yourself a glas of good wine and have a house smelling like […]
Whaaaaat?
On the sidebar of my screen, Facebook suggests that I befriend the guy I had a psycho-crush on when I was 14. Apparently, we have 3 friends in common.

I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I used to drive past his […]
