Have lived in many countries on a few continents. Now settled on a mountain so I can use a pointy stick to poke people down if they bother me. And now this is what I do, I read, I judge, I garden and I know (a few) things. Frog art by Matsumoto Hoji.

Hope you feel better. I lost one of mine recently as well and it is hard. Have a happy summer void from earlier today.

I haven't been posting much lately, but I am fine. It's start of gardening season here, and I am working on setting up more #permaculture areas in my not at all fertile granite mountainside garden. Congratulations to Canada, USA you still need (a lot of) work. Back to digging in the dirt for me.

I don't know about you, I'm not an economist, but I do not think straight down is good.

The world is currently throwing shit at us all at a machinegun speed 24/7. I implore you, if you can, do something nice for yourself. I bought a tube of LRP Cicaplast (50% off too!), and a box of gorgeous Spanish strawberries, because the world will be going to hell without baskets tomorrow, too.

I bit the bullet and ordered these. I've been staring at them for about four months, and seeing yours convinced me. :)

I heard some people may find this helpful. Not an exhaustive list. There's one online somewhere for online services. I am using Ecosia search engine and am considering migrating to Proton mail.

Would kitty pictures help? Here is Arty. Arty stands for Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt. She is silly. I recommend unplugging yourself from news every day or two. If something REALLY important happens, you will see it. But don't sit and scroll here. It's for the sake of your mental health.

Pizza Friday! Made Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, because you just can't get it in a Norwegian mountain village. If you want something done right, do it yourself! With cornmeal in the dough, raw Italian sausage, half a kilo of cheese, and drained-tomato sauce, the works. #bakesky

It's a winter storm out here today. We are snug and warm in the house, and have a lot of firewood. I hear that USA is about to be hit by harsh weather as well - take care of yourselves, and take care of those who may be exposed. Winter can kill.

It's Jan 2nd. The supermarket in the village had sad, picked-over veg area for which they apologized (delivery tomorrow). So my plans for food were dashed. No-recipe food it is: chop potatoes, chicken, sausage, whatever veg you have, oil and season, roast at 210C for 30-40 min or until done. EAT.

Happy Lucia to all Swedes, Christians, any who care to celebrate it for whatever reason, or just like saffron buns. Happy Saffronbunday!

Today is dark and cold, but there is a fire going in the fireplace, the candles are lit, and Mr. Frog is making me a coffee. Life can be really good like that. Wishing everyone a lovely winter Tuesday.

So, serious question - are you putting potato on your pizza yet? And if not, why not? I am here to tell you that you absolutely should. (Mandoline, rinse, drain and oil the slices before topping pizza with them - raw - and baking as normal). Amazing with shrooms and bacon. FYI. #bakesky

Today is Monday, and it is a sleety, near-freezing, gloomy Monday at that. SO had to go to the office in all that awfulness. So I made #pizza, because pizza makes things better. Mine's rectangular, to make use of the full oven size.

To get everyone into the spirit of the dark of winter, here's my new recipe for blue cheese, rosemary and cranberry scones. Yes, they are flaky and light and fast+easy to make. No I don't have nutrition facts, if you're making scones, you're making scones, not dieting. Recipe follows. 1/2

To put an end to the debate - yes, the #Rehbinder effect is real. Yes you can hammer thought ceramics if you immerse them in water. Yes, there'll likely be some spalling on the inside of the cup. Enjoy your newfound ability to easily turn thrifted cups and mugs into cute flowerpots with drainage!

I love your photo. I also love that it's such an iconic angle - here's a hundred-year-old painting in my living room:

If anyone knows where I can buy this trendy item, I need it for my holiday decorating yesterday (found without credit on the internets).

Radical idea: make toilets with real doors you can't stick a head under and use this sign: (I don't mind washing hands next to other people/space aliens also washing hands, really.)

Recently I saw a brilliant quote on the internet (can't remember where): "For every negative thing you remove from your life - toxic people, social media, and the like, you make room for something positive." This stuck well with me. So this weekend I cooked grandpa's Kazakh plov for friends.
A pot of stewed lamb and vegetables with garlic heads placed on it for further cooking stage of plov (pilaf).

For those who asked about how to turn off DMs on Bluesky, here it is - go to Chat on the left bar, click the sliders at the top, and select what you want here (this is not in the Settings cogwheel, it is under Chat).

I realized that I've been around on here for a few days and posted nothing, so here's some olive and fig tapenade, garlic, and feta-stuffed flatbreads that I made yesterday. I am sure I'll get around to screaming about life, the universe and universal stupidity at a later point. Have a great day.
