We finally have enough snow and cold for skiing. Wonderfull winter excercise!
While the chickpeas soak for tomorrows miso.
And the koji grows.
The hectic holidays are calming down! The seasonal activities like studying seed catalogs, carpentry, skiing and such, as well as koji and miso making are back on the agenda.
First out is a standard rice miso.
With a little jar of experimental thyme tamari. That is – the remaining miso mix with added water and dryed thyme.
I always need more cages to protect my plants and bushes from the ever present animals.
All shapes and sizes
Great for skiing!
We’ve already been out skiing once, which is more than what I have done the last two years. And it’s a good thing I’m done with the digging for this season.
Happy Solstice!
Happy Equinox!
Chanterelle mushrooms dried, ready to stash away.
Rehydrate and they are like new fresh mushrooms full of flavor, excellent for sauces, spreads, pizzas, whatever. Enough for a couple of years probably.
Ya, I’m getting into it. Doing the fall digging for next spring is one of my favorite garden chores
A little bit of yesterddys mowed grass doesn’t hurt.
A lot people prioritise things like bigger, faster, mostest and firstest or more money and less work. Not me, quite the opposite – fun, rest, beauty, artistry and recreation (work) are top priority. I get a lot more profit that way.
Not to speak of the health benefits of dirt, and of course the wonderful smell of fresh turned dirt.
DIRT
We took a little road trip to Värmland – to explore some of the places where my grandparents family came from. Alas, we stopped mostly and took pictures at artsy places.
Like Lars Lerins museum,
Finnskogs Centrum for a look and a concert of finnskogs music and tales,
Birch bark shoes,
Could be grandmas grandma,
Alma Löv Museum,
Värmlands Museum in Karlstad,
We did, of course, travel through lots of beautiful scenery and landscapes (some in sunshine, some in rain), but it was just too beautiful to take pictures of.
Nice clouds too.
