Alla helgons dag
Its Alla helgons dag today in Sweden...or Halloween...as many people associate it with...
My friend used a face pumpkin to initiate the celetrations...
I made some apple roses...
Since many apples are done my autumn, its kind of the peak season now for it...
And its fud to play with food...
I didnt use that much sugar...instead I used honey...
I tried some versions of the roses...
And I also added some vanilla sauce to some of themmmm
It was nice..with cinnamon and cardamom
...voila...
I also saw Peter Jöback on TV...some of my taiwanese friends know about him...its interesting how some local stars reach out to the world...
I also carved out a pumpkin...and tried out a new design.,..
I put it on a local milk table...
Later I also carved out a face of a super small pumpkin...
It was cool in the dark...
It was green, so it looked wierd when I put it on a candle...
Another west coast trip
I recently made a quick visist to the west coast again...
...starting with an old sunset...
...passed by some deers...
...and observed a long queue in the south bound traffic...
...my driver was in a hurry, and wa stressed by slow going objects in fron of the car...
My friend picked some clams...I wonder if he will eat them...
And a new TB-hotelll upgrade...
I might redesign the details of a tractor...so I did some analysis of some logos...
Erik was working while mingeling...at lunch...
We had some hotdogs...
More tractor preparations...
We ended to transport some vehicle...
And almost hit the coast line...
It was nice to drink hot chocolate on the lake...in the 10 degree weather...
And I found some new design of a wind power plant...
And some archipelago design...
We also paid a quick visit at some friends in Fiskebackskil...
And found some lobster traps...
I found a creek in the city that reminded me of a natural cooling system that a finish archtect used in yangmingshan in taipei...(a creek near the house)...
My friends had many miniature models of ships...i like that...
I think this is common on the west coast interior design...
...and some paintings...
We also had some apple cake...it inspired me to make some apple roses soon...
...however...I kind of have to admit that most small cities on the west coast looks the same...
Simborgarmärket catching
For many years I wanted to get a pin, that you get if you swim 200 meters, every year theres a new pin...
I passed b my friends old house for a lunch...
And later on in the day I passed by a near by swimming pool...I found out that one really didnt need to swim, thus I might get this pin easily every year...(since its easier to swim 200 meters in a random lake that in a crowded swimming pool)...
These are the pins the recent years...
Many kids were in the pool this evening...
Its meant to take every year, to show that one can swim...in a country with probably most lakes inthe world (per area), swimming is a useful skill....
And after 5, 10 years etc on can get even other awards...
This years pin was pretty tindering...
Cancer food and hamburgers
Recently WHO announced that processed meat might cause cancer...
...omg...and I had that food as a night snack....
...the idea of cheese hotdog was nice...(from my hashrun som week ago)...so I treid it again...
Pretty nice...
Some hours later I passed by Liseberg...a nearby local themepark with a halloween theme...
I also tried to catch the fullmoon on this pic...but anohter epic fail...
...later on I tried to make some cheese burgers...
It was very good...almost like my costco burgers in Taiwan...
What did Johan eat today (last week in october edition)
What did johan eat today?
Klasskaka-leftovers....for breakfast...
With coffee...
Later on I had some crouque monsieur...almost like pizza...or polish zapikankie...
I also passed by some heather...
...and some Julmust...epic christmas beverage...
Evening events on the west coast (part XVI)
Some elk running in the city was spotted after 18.00...
Running downtown...but decided to trun bac to the forest...
Me and some friends made brownie...
To make it more fun I made some cute images with sugar on top...
I made the kladdkaka (brownie) super sticky...just as i want it...
And then we went for some light expo again...
...passing red rooms...
...giant toy horses...
Some bottle hourglass...
small stream of sand...pouring on the floor...
And other electrial toys...
The expos name was "motljus" (backlight)...not sure why...
After half time we tried the sticky kladdkaka...
It was running choclate sauce...and I had it with hot choclate...like my chocolate sessions in taiwan...
Since its normal time since 2am...the sun sets earlier today...
My friend wanted to buy some light bulbs in a near by mall...
I met my cousin at the store...
Some streets later we passed some ghost like creatures...
They also had some screen that showed images...
Ppl coulds step inside and be on a public screen...
...omg, the diesel and gasoline price is the same...so unique...
...and a hanging light guy in the tree...
...we ended the tour with a shadow show...
Some opric fiber...
And the show ended with heather...the province flower...
Butter tea and into standard time observation
I have some friend from USA who visited recently...
We played floorball for a while...or rather...they played...I chilled around...
It was nice to catch up with the guys...
I also observed that my chilis is growing...
I was about to try local beer...but joined a friend instead...we had some pizza (italian style)...
I also got some Tibet feeling...so we made some butter tea...(butter and coconut fat)...
It was pretty fat...and nice...
Second round...
Omg...i think this is called LCHF diet...
We peaked the night by observing the Standard time...meaning that 1am becomes 2am...(so that ppl will enjoy more sunlight)...
Autumn baking session
I spot many colours in the forest recently...
Yellow and red leafs...
I also saw parts of an old movie at my friends place...with the old "4" logo on the right top of the screen
It was pretty warm, so we went to some historical spot...
And some sceenic sight...
Omg...long and short contrails...
More yellow...or still green?
My friends asked me to bake....so I went all in...i planned to make a garlic pizza with extra cheese again...but started with some muffins...
They wanted to support, so they prepared some cups...
Chocolate muffins with chocolate sauce
I left them partly done...since we wanted them like swedish kladdkaka (brownie) inside...
My friend also wantedto challenge me on fireball race...
It was like cinnamon...pretty nice...
And the muffins were also nice, too bad that my friend ate most of them...before I even got to try...but I guess its a high grade...
Next things was the extra cheese pizza...it was just "all in", as usual...
They added som BBQ-spice with extra salt...I guess i will absorb alot of water now...
...they ended up wathcing a couple of movies...and singing etc...I should record it for a new song next time...
What did johan eat today?
I started to feast on the autumn mushrooms...
There are still plenty in the forest, even if it hasnt been much of a mushroom year yet...
Also the pumpkins are small...(maybe i planted it too late)...
I also went all in for a cheesy pizza...
And used Erik to try it out...
It was maybe 50% cheese, som tomato sauce and bread...
I alsp inspected eriks DVD collection...
He had some episodes of an old swedish series...interesting...
Vila: the cheesy pizza...
I also made som pepper dip...it was fat and nice...
