Cuts of Lamb
Lamb is eaten a lot in Norway, specially in fall.” Faar i Kaal” is voted our national dish. That is lamb, cabbage, whole pepper and salt. Simmer about an hour, and that is it. I wanted to make a guide for choosing the right cuts for the right dishes. I
Spring Has Sprung
I debated for a long time about what I should present as the prompt for this group. As the date grew closer, I kept coming back to the same idea over and over again. I live in Alaska, and the winter’s are long and dark and cold. I’ve written
A different point of view
When the prompt was set to ‘Kitchen Inspiration’, I was worried ‘What should I do this time?’So I started to look for the most ordinary and always used things, I think… it was tableware (like bowls or dishes). I decided to work inspired by them. The tableware are kitchen utensils

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my response to the prompt ‘Kitchen Inspiration’. The post was called ‘I would rather stitch’ which pretty much sums up my attitude to cooking, or any other type of house work. But my somewhat negative response to the prompt wasn’t just because I
Kitchen is My Wonderland
There are a lot of bottles in my kitchen. They have various shapes and colors. Soy sauce,ketchup,wine,vinegar… I can’t throw away these glass bottles after using. Because I love them very much. So,I sometimes use them again as preserve container. I have a small vegetable garden. I grow potatoes,
Momma's Little Helper
Come to think of it, kitchen is home base for me too, second only to my studio. My aged and infirm mother-in-law lives with us, and I must cook every meal at home for her and us. (Hubby cooks breakfast, so I get a break there.) My earliest memories, aside
