Ecogreen easy cooking - hummus special

As you already know I love easy cooking and green eco food is a favorite:). 

This afternoon I made Hummus - one of the best things you can eat, healthy and very easy to make!

 When you make hummus you need chickpeas, lemon, garlic, olive oil, cumin and tahini. I didnt have tahini but I had sundried tomatoes. I choosed making my own way of hummus using on a piece of bread with sundried tomatoes on top.

The olive oil is imported by Paulo Roberto and bought in the delicacy shop in Umeå called DUÅ. 

 Peper, salt, and cumin

 Everything put together, 

ready for my mixer

 Nice homemade hummus, without tahini 

but still good enough using: 0.5 dl of olive oil, 2 pieces of garlic, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 
4 dl chickpeas 

AND 

cumin, salt and peper:)

The most delicious sandwich with hummus sundried tomatoes, basil from the house, and pepper

I enjoyed it with a glass of ginger water:)

Rönnbär/Rowanberry - C-vitamin booster!

This time of the year, we have almost nothing left of our strenght system built up during last years summer, autumn being in the sun, eating much from nature. Its good having some kind of tricks helping yourself out, boostering up a bit, hopefully good enough avoiding weakness in the immune system

Rowanberry

These berries might feel sour eating and not good at all, but they are very good for your health!

I picked and dried these Rowanbeeries last autumn. 
There were plenty of them last year.

Rönnbär Rowanberry

 In swedish they are called Rönnbär, and they are very

rich of C-vitamin. By eating 5-10 berries each day you secure your need of C-vitamin and hopefully you will remain healthy!

Future Life knowledge

Yes, Mrs Bumble Bee wrote about words I love very much yesterday

We dont know anything about the future

Vi vet ingenting om framtiden

Its true that we dont, but one thing is clear

 

We are all going to die 
we just dont know when

Some other great words are the those by John Lennon mentioned in the song

Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy), from his and Yoko Onos famous album Double Fantasy

 "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"

Mrs Bumble Bees Friday Speech

Hi Guys!:))

 Its me again

Mrs Bumble Bee:))

  

I want to talk about some words that The ArtandPlejWoman is kind of in love with:) Its her own kind of proverb and she mention them now and then as a way of treating her life

The words are:

We dont know Anything about the Future

These kind of words are of course very true and easy to agree with. The good thing is that they are the same for me as for you, because non of us can know anything about the future. Well, some things maybe..but not the big things coming. Its a good thing using them instead of worrying so much.

 The ArtandPlejWoman once had an art exhibition named like this. It took place at Burmans Musik, Umeå in 2010 as a part of the arrangment "Kulturnatta".

This is the poster used during the exhibition

And yes, Fransiskus is in the painting, and I am very happy that she sticks to this kind of an icon as he is the protector of animals and ecology

Meditating!

There are many ways of meditating, christian, buddhist, and..well I dont know them all. And maybe you have heard of mindfulness? I will ask the ArtandplejWoman to write some things about it as I think she have some info to share.

So.. I guess you are curious about what kind of meditation I use?

Well..hehe

I use some special rytmic music (you may listen to the video and practise yourself), I lay down for some minutes listen to it, breath the music into my body and out again..and after lets say 3 or 4 minutes..

I start Dancing:)))

Im happy and feel so much Love for

The ArtandPlejWoman

She is a fantastic woman and so funny!!

 

I will tell her how much I love her  

and how happy I am staying here

Maybe you could do the same?

Fast food Salmon Pasta Surprise

I felt soo much for having pasta and fish yesterday. I went to the supermarket on my way home from work, buying some cold smoked salmon and fresh pasta. As usual I started improvise when cooking and I felt this would not take long before it would be ready to eat. Some delicous fast food started developing coming my way.

I used spinach from the farm, kept in my freezer. 

I cut spinach and leek into pieces.

Onion and garlic into pieces and

my own hot chili

The most delicious cold smoked salmon, 

cut into pieces. Smoked at a local company called "Norums rökeri"

Preparing for the fresh pasta to boil!

Do you notice the little light angel in the water?

Here we go, I heated it up in coconut oil

Some ecologic tomato paste

Ecologic cream - let it boil together a few minutes

The pasta added

Ready to eat - and very delicious!

Fast food

What is Art?

Some years ago I took these special photos. I guess its very hard to understand what it is, I will explain. 

I was sitting in a bus with friends from work. We were going together in a bus to Hemavan. During the trip the driver had to use the windscreen wipers and between the moves I noticed some special art coming up and fond it very artistic, creative.

Is this Art?

Hot Stuff - in the Middle of the Cold

Dear readers!

As its winter and getting colder outside, I felt for posting some really hot stuff for you!

Im talking about  

Chili  

 I sometimes let chili grow and find it very good to have in my house using it for cooking

It has high levels of C-vitamin karoten, potassium magnesium and iron

The substance making chili hot is called Capsaicin

 Chili is very important in Bhutan and always possible to find in the marketplaces. The national dish Ema datshi is made with a lot of chili and cheese.
