Okay, I most say I love mongos, but who does not?
Anyway, today for lunch was mango. That is something I do not say every day. More or less, never beside when the season for mangos from Pakistan. This mangos from Span were really huge, bigger than the Pakistani.
Pure joy to eat this one.
OMG I have never seen anything like this size before! NEVER. The mango has the same size as my face, can you understand how big this lovely tasty mango is and the weight….
Anyway, I was really unsure how tasty mangos from Spain could be, like the mangos from Brazil taste really bad or more right sad. But, this mango tasted so good! Really nice. The sweet and juicy (not easy to eat mango and skype at the same time). The mango was amazing and a bit hard to eat all up, but nothing is impossible. It took sometime, but I managed.
I got 2 left and they are not the as big as this one (thank GOD).
My family has this tradition of buying Mangos when the Asian food stores have got the boxes with mangos. We do not buy the Brazilians mangos because they do not taste at all anything. Therefore the mongos from the Asian food store such a Taj Mahal import mangos from Pakistan. The pakistanian mongos are not like the mangos as in India, but, much better then the food stores mangos. So, when ever the store get mangos they give us a miss call so we now today the mangos have arrived.
Also, when we having the mangos I know, it is summer. Even when the weather is horrible, I can sit inside and eat one or two mangos without any problems. Just enjoying the taste and dreaming away to India where I had my first really really fresh mangos and papaya.
For some days ago when I was the most sick, I visited my parents.
A reason is, at my parents house it is possible to watch TV. They have food. I do have food, but more a like typical student food. Also, I do have a TV but I have not got the technical equipment to transform from fiber network to the TV.
However, at that day, my mom and me decided to open the calendar from the Body shop. The reason we made, we should open the calender now. There for we do not buy anything which we need instead of waiting and see if we might get the product from the calender.
Luckily we opened and got so many useful products.
Some of the products I got were Shower gel with satsuma fruit extract, Strawberry body polish and on top of that is mango hand cleanse gel. The hand cleanse gel goes down in my bag to India. The other two are probably too big and heavy for a trip to India.
The weight issue, 23 KG luggage….
Yesterday at my parents house we baked a rhubarb with apples pie and more bread. The fruits are from our own garden.
The funniest part was we had the energy to bake but when it came to the dinner non of us had any energy. We were to lazy to cook anything, I guess that can happen with anyone. Instead of a normal dinner, ie. potatoes/pasta with some sort of meat and salad. Our dinner was oat porridge and egg. Fast simple and okay, especially with homemade blueberry jam.
The pie is still untouched, because we were too full after the dinner. I hope dad has saved some for me!
homemade fruits and nuts
last night was spend at my parents home. The reason was I needed some help with my studies and also needed to print out some papers. I do not have a printer at my home, but need on badly.
However, when I was alone today, I baked bread for the first time.
The preparation time was may be only 20 minutes MAXIMUM, but was in the oven for 2 hours.
First I mixed all the nuts, dry fruits the flours and salt together. Next step mixed the soured milk, syrup with bicarbonate. Then added the fruits/nuts/flours mixed with the soured milk mixed.
Put the mixed in a form and in the oven for 2 hours.
I had the bread for dinner and I loved it.
Next time, I might try to skip the fruits and nuts.
Well, I love, love peanut butter! The creamy, fatty flavor.
One of my family member in Canada told I had to try peanut butter and it taste heavenly. So, I did try it in Canada and though peanut butter with banana did not taste that great. However, now in Sweden I felt I should try to eat peanut butter with banana again. I might have change the taste. So, let me try and see if I survive after this experiment.
Also, when I was in India, there was an American girl and she said peanut butter with apple taste good. Then what sort of apple should I use? A sweet or sour apple?
Well, sometimes it is okay to eat this sort of thing. What would life be without unhealthy food?!
Raspberry sober with marshmallow with almonds on the the side.
Wow, the marshmallow, was creamy, melted inside, but not worm.
The sugar sweetness from the marshmallow with the almonds and raspberry flavor was something to die for. Perfect combinations.
When we got this dish, my family started to talk about it might be time to buy a ice cream maker. Homemade ice cream, can anything be better then homemade food? I do not think so.
The less good part with homemade ice cream, it take time.
Well, I hope to get something like this sweet again.
For some days ago I got a photo from my indian family.
They were having papaya and send a photo on the papaya to me. Why they did it, because they remembered how crazy I am in papaya.
In 2010 when I was living with them, was the first time for me to eat papaya. I have never had it before. It is not because we do not have papaya in Sweden, but it taste very bad. So, we have never bought it.
There for, when I tried papaya fresh, I was in love. I had never tried a fruit like that. There was no problem to eat a half papaya by myself.
The papaya should be so fresh that the juice is dropping while the knife cutting the fruit.
I have not had papaya for 6 months almost and wish to have a papaya next to me.
This lady sell fruits ever day. Every single day. Pass the place always spell sweet from the fruits.
There is also flower seller.
