Toodeloo!

Right now in the library, so tired I look all heroin chic.

Me?

Kate?

Garlic buns

Yesterday was soup day friday for a change. I felt crappy this thursday so we moved it. It was only me and boyfriend so not that much pressure. For the soup I made these bread buns with garlic in them. You should try them. They’re really nice! Even for breakfast although there’s garlic in them.

50 grams of yeast

2 teaspoons salt

0,5l water

1 tablespoon olive oil

2-3 garlic cloves

flour – about a litre

salt flakes

It’s very easy.

Sprinkle the yeast in to your bucket. Pour half of the water in to it and stir (the water shouldn’t be ice cold but you can take it straight out the tap) ’til the yeast has dissolved in the water. Add the rest of the water, salt, oil and the garlic (chopped or pressed) and stir. Now you can add the flour and turn the dough with a ladle until it’s a nice fluffy dough.

Let it all grow bigger (ferment?? sounds very biological to me, google translate!) under a kitchen cloth for about half an hour.

Form to round pretty buns. Brush on some olive oil on the top and sprinkle flaked salt on them.

About 6-8 minutes in the oven on 270 degrees until’ they’ve gotten a nice color.

Yummy!

Eat them with butter when warm. But they’re goo cold too.

My only question is: can I take them to work? I have my soup with me for lunch but the buns have a bit too much garlic in them to be 100% ok. Hmm, I think I’ll buy me some bread at the bakery instead.

dear Santa Claus (version 2.1)

I’ve been quite good this year, but you know that already. I haven’t been cursing too much and I’ve called my mother every second day. As from this august I started eating my vegetables properly. And I’ve realized what wonders it’s doing to my stomach. As it turns out, pringles aren’t healthy after all. And I’m turning 25 this year so I’d say, I deserve something spectacular for christmas and for my birthday.

Here is my wish list for christmas and for the b-day.

socks (no black ones, boyfriend has black socks and we wash together so they always get mixed up)

boyfriend buying ticket to Sweden so we can celebrate new year’s together

clothes and basic hygiene products (body lotion, face wash, stuff like that)

facial, massage, manicure, pedicure something like that

~a birthday party at a bowling alley

poles for nordic walking which I also can use for my inlines

wireless mighty mouse for the computers

tickets for musicals – Mamma Mia and the Phantom of the Opera will be played in Munich 2010. I wouldn’t mind going to Köln for Hairspray either or! HAmburg  and see the lion king! I’d like that.

(a heart rate watch to which I can connect a pedometer, the pedometer thing is kind’a important, my broke after I dropped it in vomit this spring – didn’t eat my vegetables properly so I vomited, no alcohol involved, hear that santa!)

(a keyboard that I can connect to the computer over usb and that works good with garage band, not too big, my synthesizer is way too big for our tiny apartment)

Retro Style

Yey! I can’t afford to buy loads of clothes so I found out a way to save money. I just loose most of the weight I’ve gained while moving to Germany. Moving to another Country for most people result in some weight gain or weight loss. In my case, when I moved to Munich, I didn’t start with sports as I was supposed to and I wasn’t used to the groceries and a bit overwhelmed of all the good chocolate bars they have here. So I gained about 9 kilos in like two years. Which isn’t good. I have a heart condition and to jump in weight and stop doing sports and eating like burger king every fourth day just isn’t that good for me. Now I’ve lost about 5 kilos in soon to be three months, going slow here, don’t wanna push it. And all of a sudden I can wear all the clothes that’s been looking weird and illfitted on me before. So my wardrobe has just been a whole lot’a bigger. Feels good. I’m not going to buy any new clothes til’ I’ve lost about six kilos which nI hope will be about the 18:th – my birthday. I wouldn’t say I’m on a diet. I haven’t eaten a salad in these three months, I throw up if my food doesn’t make me full… I’m just doing more sports and me and boyfriend cooks a whole lot more at home.Our pizza place has gotten more expensive so we don’t eat that much pizza anymore either. And I’ve started doing more sports. Which is good although my knees aren’t enjoying it too much. And I don’t want to get really, really thin and I know I’m perfect just the way I am so don’t worry, I just want to feel good and healthy and I didn’t before. I got short of breath, my heart was pounding like a freak and then it dropped all of a sudden (irregular heartbeats, haven’t had any problems at all the last year though) and my stomach was really bugging me, which turned in to a bad circle, to cure my bad stomach I had to eat… and so on and so forth.

So today, as all days, we’re going retro style!

Today’s bracelet

A while ago I sat down and braided three black alcantara bands together and added some cute pedants to the creation. A toggle clasp on it et voilà!

I know you can’t see it on the pictures but the pedants all have a picture of a blonde girl with flowers in her hair. Very cute. And yes, I stole all of them, now we only have pictures of mad angels spanking each other with brooms and stuff left in the store. Moahahahaha!

The Lonely Monkey

As I’ve already told you, we went to the zoo this saturday. He was sitting all alone down by the water while all other monkeys were playing around him. He looked very sad.

More Chic Lit

A couple of days ago I finished reading this piece of literature. Where Rainbows End by Cecilia Ahern.

Wouldn’t call it literature though. It was kind of ok til’ the end which was quite irrealistic. Books aren’t supposed to be irrealistic, well they are… but not in a bad way. If your book contains characters called Bilbo, it can be irrealistic. Otherwise, just stick to the real world, please, my best example of books who are irrealistic is the millenium-series by Stieg Larsson, the swedish crime author who died, you know… his main character is like 27 or something like that – and she’s called Lisbeth! no one under fifty is called Lisbeth. Very unreal. Can’t stand it. Yes I say it although the man’s dead. Yes, God will put me in hell for this. I can also say that beautiful boy by John Lennon is a crappy, crappy song and I hate it. Which is weird ’cause Lennon was a genious but that song just gives me the creeps. And God will now put me in hell with Idi Amin and I will burn burn burn a burning ring of fire because I just spoke ill about the dead.

Anyway! This book is written in messages a couple of people send to each other. It starts with a girl and a boy that are around six or seven years old, starting sending notes to each other in class and then it kind of follows their life. With messages to boyfriends, to girlfriend, husbands, wives, children, parents, teachers etc. It’s quite irritating just to read messages back and forth. Not that it’s hard to get the point, you just kind’a get sick of it all around the middle of the book. The author just isn’t that good of an author to pull it off.

And well, it’s not that great of a book. It’s irritating because of the way it’s written (which is the whole concept of the book) and it’s irrealistic at the end.

Granny Bracelet is ready!

Since you all where so helpful – NOOOT! when I requested help with my christmas gift for boyfriend’s grandmother, I take it, you liked the bracelet just the way it was. So I kept it that way and just did some remaking in the way I attached the clasp. Instead of only the crimp beads that I used before, I now have bead tips for terminators (Kalotten), it looks more professional like this because you can’t see the wire anymore. You still have to use the crimps though, they’re hidden inside the tips. Now, I think the clasp is the pretty side up and I hope ol’ polish Gran will think so too.

The photo is lousy, I know. It’s not that ideal to photograph beads and pearls with photo booth, especially not on my imac because the screen is so darn light, the light reflects in the pearls and they all kind of turn into this white blur. This was the best pic actually – all the others kind of looked like this:
