A scandinavian recepie I tried
I decided one day to try a recepie from another part of the
world. Due to my limited knowledge of cooking it had to be easy. I got this recepie off www.scandcook.com after watching the guy make it on TV. This makes a lot of beet soup so I recommend you half the quantity for just 2 people. If you are a vegetarian, you can skip the "goose stock". You can also add a little Worchestershire sauce for flavor. Whenever I'm hungry, I raid the fridge and have some. It tastes good both hot & cold. Here is the recepie : Svalbard Beet Soup 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 red onions, chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 pounds beets, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice 2 bay leaves 2 carrots, chopped 5 cups Goose Stock 1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until soft and light brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beets, bay leaves, carrots, and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, until the beets are soft. Remove the bay leaves. Transfer the soup to a blender, in batches if necessary, and puree until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and reheat. Season with the chili powder, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Pour the soup into bowls. Add a tablespoon of sour cream to each bowl, and serve. |

Sounds more Russian than Scandinavian but undoubtably tasty. |

At one point during my childhood we lived in Memphis in a large old ante bellum style house which had a summer dining porch where we ate many of our breakfasts and dinners. My mother was a stickler for a certain degree of formality and, even though we were having dinner on the porch, the table was set with a linen cloth and well-appointed dinnerware, etc. My dad was out of town for the evening so it was just my mother and I for dinner. My mother had prepared a lovely potroast with vegetables and bowls of fruit salad. While she and I were eating, our next door neighbor walked over to invite us for home-made ice cream when we had finished. After we had finished eating we headed over to the neighbor's house, leaving the remaining food and a substantial piece of roast sitting in the middle of the table. When we returned and began to clear the table, the first thing we noticed was the missing roast. It first seemed a mystery because not a single thing on the table was disturbed. As we looked around the porch (it was quite large), the only evidence we found was a small greasy spot on the floor, but not a trace of meat. When we went back in the house we discovered our toy spitz, Trixi, with the last tiny morsel in her mouth. Trixi had managed to get up to the table, snatch the roast, and leave absolutely everything else on the table undisturbed, without even the slightest wrinkle in the tablecloth. So went our leftover roast for sandwiches the next day. -- Wayne in Phoenix If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it. |

Do you know haw many Soya buffaloes (Bubalus Soyaensis) they have to kill just to get one normal sized bottle of Soya? A lot of them I tell you. Because of the popularity that Asian food have gained around the world, the Soya buffalo along with the Tofu gazelle is now almost extinct. D P |

All I can say is that it is worrying when your cat comes home with a huge uncooked lamb chop in his mouth. I didn't know which neighbour to avoid!

Time for my Thurber story. Thurber was my brother's dog. He was quite
well trained, mannerly, friendly with everyone, didn't need a leash as he could be trusted to stay with the group and not run off, a nice, waggy restrained sort of dog, not the overly demonstrative type. The assorted friends were circled around the camp fire. The meat was roasting on a spit. Thurber was curled up with the human campers apparently oblivious to everyone, just enjoying the scenery. In a split second, he had the entire roast and was off in the woods. The sneak had been surrepticiously watching everyone, noticing the exact moment when everyone had their attention elsewhere and no one watching the fire. When that happened, he struck so fast he didn't get burned. I wasn't there. It gave me new respect for the dog. --Lia |
