Farmer Magnus brought this by. He knows we like these kind of weeds.
Burdock makes a very good soup!
Or sauteed.

Still a muddy winter, but lots of cabbage greens and finnish turnips for the daily lunch miso soup.
There is supposed to be some ground freezing weather coming, so I can get my winter digging done.
Still going strong!
There are only a few vegetables from the garden, but lots of pickles and pumpkins left. Now we are baking small pumpkin pies and this time a savory pumpkin pie to see how that goes. I, for one, was surprised at how delicious they are.
It’s a cold early saturday morning before going to the market, a hearty breakfast is neccessary.
Oatmeal mush with lingonberry jam, yoghurt and rosehip powder, a cup of coffee, and of course a cup of miso.
My pears – Göteborgs diamant – are ready and ripe and falling out of the giant tree.
I have been picking and selling alot already, so that people can let them ripen at home. Now it’s time to use or put away as many as possible before they go bad. I have about a week.
Like cooking to a sauce to put in the freezer.
Or some pear juice,
Or fruit leather,
Or a miriad of other things.
Made by our son – just like my grandma used to make.
Delicious, just like I remember.
Usually associated with fall, pumpkin soup tastes mighty good cold spring days too. We have a few pumpkins left still.
It just needs a little miso.
My damson plums are blossoming!
They are called krikon here.
I hope the bees and bumblebees find them and that it doesn’t get too cold for them this early in the season.
The krikon marmalade from last years crop is so good. I will soon need more.
With the virus epidemic growing and me in the old age risk group, it’s time to tighten up my diet – less sugar and dairy and more miso and pickles (lactic acid bacteria fermentaions).
Breakfast today
Oatmeal with no milk or yoghurt and homemade fruit sauce.
With intant miso broth
A cup of hot water and a spoonful of miso couldn’t be better or faster.
And with all the events being canceled, I’m happy to stay home and do the spring chores around here.
Besides that, I’ve had a medical check up recently saying I’m healthy but have heightened levels of blood sugar and cholesterol, so it’s time for a little change.
Here’s a favorite.
