I don't speak the language.

This year is totally weird so far. As there is more and more nonsense around me I just wanted to join in and so you get a weird package of things. Most of these things are actually totally last year. 



For christmas I received an adorable package from Hannah with luxurious marshmallows, tea and other pretty things. It's all about the pretty things and thoughts.
Thank you so much again, my dear. The coasters are not only good for good tea but also for long drinks, by the way. Drink your drinks with style.

These pretty things are my favourite christmas cookies since I can remember.
It's a rich chocolate dough with rum, a thin layer of orange jam (apricot is good as well), covered with chocolate and sugar sprinkles. Deliciousness. Did I ever posted the recipe for these? I don't know. Maybe I will catch up with it some day, if you want to.

 
Nearly every two weeks I have a new favourite meal. The last two weeks it was this soup and I made it three times: mango-hokkaido-soup. Basically: fry finely cut onions and garlic in a little oil, add hokkaido, fry for a few minutes. Add water, sea salt, pepper, fenugreek and cook til the hokkaido is tender. Add fresh or frozen mango, puree. Serve with some pumpkin seed oil. The pictures below are from new year's eve potluck. I had the rest of the soup in the morning at 6. Hmmmm!

Sunshine. A lot of dust.

This was my hair colour a few days ago for a few days only. Could you please stop asking me, if I dyed my hair again? The answer is and always be "yes" and you're all clever enough.

And if I happen to bleach my hair and let it blond, you don't have to worry, that I never will have any bright colours again. Just wait a few weeks. I'd appreciate it.

This picture is from today so: welcome 2014! Please, don't be so confusing. I want this to be a good year. 

Today's twilight. I definitely need more light, uh! More light and less weirdness, okay? Thanks.

Hokkaido-Mango-Soup w/ fried beetroot

- onions
- oil
- 3-4 medium potatoes
- 1 medium hokkaido squash
- 1 mango
- 3 small beetroots
- juice of 1 lime
- veggie broth
- salt, pepper


Fry finely diced onions (I had two small ones) in a little bit of oil until golden brown. Add diced potatoes and two of the beetroots and stir for a few minutes. Then add 1 litre of cold water and a bit veggie broth. Cook for five minutes, then add diced hokkaido and cook until everything is very tender. While your soup is cooking cut the remaining beetroot in very thin slices and fry from both sides in oil until crispy. Put them on some paper towel until needed.
Add one ripe, diced mango and salt and pepper to taste to the pot. Turn off the heat, add the lime juice and puree with a handheld blender until you have your preferred consistency.
Serve with some of the fried beetroot slices. 
This soup is totally recommended if you just got a tooth pulled out.
