Control

09/02/20171 Comment

My biggest first world problem is all about the tv. I don`t like when it`s broken or when there`s no good tv show on. If there`s no tv there`s nothing! The tv is the most important “furniture” for many and they almost build their houses around it. It`s mostly placed at the centre of every wall.

This is what my problem could be like.

-Where`s the remote control? (My heart races).

It`s not here.

Where is it!?

Not here either.

Where is it!!!!!!!?????????

Whatever it is I haven`t done it.

Where

it!?

My heart races faster.

-Everybody listen up. I`ve found it!

-Calm down everybody. I found the remote and we can all continue to focus on the tv instead of speaking to each other.

The first world problem of the day, people that don’t think.

The problem of today is people that are about to pay for their groceries at the same time as they talk on their phone. They are incapable of both talking and paying, and of course they always choose to let everyone else after them in line wait until they have finished their phone call before paying.

If you can’t do two things at the same time, then don’t do it. Or do one thing at a time. And let that one thing be what a normal human being would do! Think.

Bacon

I’ve said it before and I say it again, I love bacon. When I don’t know what to make for dinner it’s easy to turn to bacon for ideas.

Today I made bacon and rice pudding pancakes. In Sweden we often eat rice pudding, or rice porridge. Especially at christmas. I often make the porridge myself but today I felt it would be too much and I bought it.

The pancakes are easy to make! The ingredients:

500 g rice pudding

2 eggs

2 dl almond flour

Mix the ingredients in a bowl.

Cook them like ordinary pancakes and use a lot of butter or oil in the pan. They tend to stick to the pan if it’s too dry. I made six pancakes from the recepy. And I also cooked three at a time in the pan.

Serve with bacon and lingonberry jam.

Cake

I love this dessert. It’s “Gooey chocolate cake” with berries and whipped cream.

I bought the cake this time because this one tastes just as delicious as if you would have made it yourself. The chocolate cake is, like the name says, a gooey cake. It’s chewy and very delicious!

If you want to bake it I think the best thing would be to make a fondant cake. I will make it sometime but if there’s any chocolate addict out there that can’t wait that’s what you can do until then. Yummy!

Pasta

This is a wonderful dish. It’s cheese filled tortellini and tomatoe sauce. I love pasta and a rich sauce. This is just that.

I boiled “dried” cheese filled tortellini and broccoli for a couple of minutes. After I had removed (I know there’s a word for that – drained?) the water from the pan I added tinned tomatoes, milk and cream to the tortellini and broccoli. I let it boil on low heat for a while.

In a oven tin I put peppers, tomatoes and onions. I added the tortellini and tomatoes. I baked it in the oven at 200 C for 20 minutes.

Tasty!

Trying

I would like to mention a little something we all probably have said or been told. The “you haven`t tried mine” thing. For instance, I don`t like carrot cake. I told a friend and she said that I would if I “tried hers”. No I wouldn`t! Carrot cake is carrot cake and I think it`s disgusting.

When someone says “try mine” you know what`s coming. You have to sit at that person`s table and eat that cake or dish you don`t like. You have to force yourself to eat it and then say you like it. I never got to try my friend`s cake because she moved away and I`m happy with that (not that she moved but that no carrot cake had to be forced down). I know I wouldn`t have liked it. I`ve tried many of these cakes and no one has made me change my mind.

Salmon is something else I don`t eat. I`ve had to sit through many dinners pretending to have changed my mind when it comes to salmon. I don`t want to offend the host and I eat even though it makes me feel sick. They know my thoughts on that fish but I have to “try theirs”. I take as little salmon as possible and then I push it around the plate and leave as much as I can. As much as I can without offending anyone. I`ve never had both salmon and carrot cake at the same dinner but I know that day will come. Someone will say “I`ve made my salmon and carrot cake I said you would like”. I will smile and say I like it!

Cutest

My little girl had a haircut a couple of days ago. I always do it myself and I love to do it. I`m not a “furcutter” in any way although I get better every time I do it. Today she had a bath and now she is the cutest and cleanest terrier there is! The bath is not what she likes however when I begin to schampoo and clean her she relaxes.

Mom I don`t like that shampoo you used. I want a shampoo that smells like beef.

Crazy

When you have an animal your life is never boring. You never know what that animal will do!

I have had the great pleasure of having dogs around me almost all my life and there has been some craziness through the years. Everyone that has experienced having a puppy for instance know what it’s like. Kajsa was, and still is, crazy. Like many puppies she liked to chew on things. She destroyed credit cards, shoes and furniture. My things were more fun than all her toys! For me that was just things that could be replaced and I didn’t care when I found pieces of shoes everywhere. Another thing she did was, if I dropped her leash she took off and I often found her playing with new dogfriends. Everytime that happened I thought I had lost her and was happy to find her playing.

When you are an animal owner it helps with a little bit of “what has happened has happened” attitude towards life. When your dog has chewed on your shoes there’s nothing to do about it. You can’t ask your dog for a new pair of shoes and “what has happened has happened”.

Kajsa drives me crazy all the time and I sometimes think “your new home is the balcony”. Of course that would never happen, but I think many dog owner have thoughts like that! She is crazy but I love her that way! If she wasn’t all over the place she wouldn’t be my girl.

What do you mean I’m crazy.

Fish

I had a healthier fish and chips today. I baked fish fingers and potatoes in the oven. The fish fingers were made of filets of cod which tasted good. Some fish fingers contains fish and things that shouldn’t be there.

I bought the potatoes but it’s easy to make healthy french fries yourself. Cut potatoes in pieces and mix them with a little bit of oil and bake them in the oven. These potatoes I made today are delicious and only have a little bit of oil on them.

I think many vegetables this time of year don’t taste much. I often serve them cooked cause they taste better that way. Today I mixed peppers, tomatoes and cabbage with oil and baked them in the oven with the fish.

In Sweden we have a sauce that’s called “Cucumer sauce” which is perfect with fish. It’s essentially pickled cucumber with mayo. I often, like today, eat it with fish.

Delicious.
