Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So far I have 8 little sprouts of Africa’s Blue Lily, with a chance to get up to 17 more. 000
Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I have now sowed seeds of Africa’s Blue Lily in 25 little pots, 2 seeds in each pot in order to increase the chance to get plants. I then covered the pots with plastic to keep the soil moist. 100
Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Today’s piece of music on 11 string alto guitar made by Georg Bolin. But when I play this piece, it does not sound very ”furiosa”, rather quiet and fairly slow. 🙂 1191

Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 02/09/2025This is my new shopping cart. My old one was stolen yesterday in the local food shop Hemköp here in Sköndal, Stockholm. As a matter of principle I reported it online to the police the same day. I did not expect them to do anything about it. Today I got a nice surprise. The police called me twice. 1111
Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Midsummer lunch at home for my wife and me: vegetables, pickled herring, and cold smoked salmon with courtier’s sauce. 1111
Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Polpette al sugo, Italian meatballs in tomato sauce. The recipe was not so good, because the meatballs tended to fall apart. Since my wife thought that this tasted ”so-so”, I will not try again with another recipe. She can get chicken fillets in tomato sauce instead. She likes that. 191
Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 18/04/2025For Good Friday lunch I made roast lamb with sauce made of gravy, sour cream, veal stock, balsamic vinegar, parsley, and rosemary. My wife said it was ”quite OK”, ”fairly tasty”, and ”fully edible”. 060
Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 12/04/2025For lunch today I made cod fillet covered by a layer of sour cream, tasty cheese (Swedish ”västerbottenost”), parsley, and garlic, cooked in the oven, and served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. My said it was ”totally okay” (Swedish ”helt okej”). 021
Sten Allan @stenallan.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Buns that I baked today according to my own recipe with 2/3 graham flour and 1/3 wholemeal wheat flour, otherwise like ciabatta wheat bread. I call it ”coarse ciabatta”. This time I got 23 buns. 150
