    Hey everyone! Thought you wouldn't hear from me for a while, right? I thought so too. But I'm currently sitting in a very obscure corner in Geneva International Airport, waiting for my flight back to London. Long story short, I have some time on my[...]
  • Recipe Seitan
    Seitan
    I was going to write a stew recipe using seitan but then I realized I've never posted any basic directions on making the stuff so I could just easily link to it. Of course, in some countries you can just buy seitan on a reasonable prize, here in[...]

    Random Acts of Kindness
    Mornin’! It’s gray and drizzly outside, but I got to wake up to the sound of the rain which was so nice! It certainly made it hard to get up and get going though and I actually contemplated going back to bed for 15 minutes after[...]

    Roasted Pumpkin Salad ? Paahdettu kurpitsasalaatti

    Chocolaty Sauerkraut Stew ? Suklainen hapankaalipata
    My favourite food is called mush. Others have invented flashier names for it though I think they're only designed to hide the truer essence. You hardly need a recipe for them since their very idea is to take a pot and stuff it with anything you[...]
