A clearish plasyic box filled to the brim with random bags and containers of spices. Prominent is a bag of dried makrut lime leaf, a clear plastic box full of cumin and a bag of dried jujubes. The rest is indistinguishable.

Did a pretty kickass, if I dare say that, red curry from scratch with garlic flatbread
A white bowl with light blue rim filled with chicken, cabbage, carrot, water chestnut, sliced makrut lime leaves, coriander, Thai basil all in a bright red oily coconut curry sauce. To the side is a small plate also with a blue rim with nicely brown spotted flatbread. There are three small glass plates with quartered lime, sliced red and green chilies and extra herbs

A tall, lone oak with bare branches frosted in snow separate but in front of more mixed trees and a drystone wall, in front a near pristine blanket of snow on the ground. The sun is going down, the light is a blue tinge on all the snow

Had an early birthday with my twin sister, she came over since I can't travel right now. I made ghormeh sabzi for the first time with saffron rice and shirazi salad. Prinsesstårta for bithday cake.
Lamb, onions, dried limes and turmeric cooking down in a soup pot on the left of the picture and a large aluminion pan filled with finely chopped spring onions, parsley, coriander leaf and fenugreek leaves (methi) on the right. A white ceramic plate with rim of light pink and light blue. On the plate is a deep green brown stew of lamb, herbs, dried lime and turmeric. In the middle is a perfectly golden yellow line of saffron rice and on the right is a shirazi salad of cucumber, tomato, red onion, dried mint, pomegranate molasses and olive oil In the center on a blue glass cake platter is a prinsesstårta, a sponge cake layered with raspberry jam, topped with whipped cream and all covered in a layer of green marzipan, lightly d'ustensiles with coing sugar. In the background are eight lit candles in brass candlesticks. Box of red wine and white wine on the right back of the table, oops

My mum is very sick and I am worried about her, not going into details just now, trying to do the work to keep her weight up so today was cottage pie, also bought a new blender for smoothies and such.
A cottage pie in a glass dish, lovely craggy pillowt potato on the meat and veg base worh browned bits on the potatoes after furrowing them with a fork. Honestly, was pretty good and has everything one would need.

First day of proper winter, though due to melt in the next day or two
A bright, clear winter day showing a front garden with dirt driveway in sweden going through a drystone wall. There are bare elms and rowan trees just beyond the wall on both sides, the sun peeking through low and slightly orange to the left about at the level of the first third of the trees. Everything is covered in about 5-10 centimeters of snow.

Lmao i sort of want to know now but probably not enough
The Guardian television critic Lucy Mangan gave the series zero stars out of five, writing that "I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad. I assumed that there was some sort of baseline, some inescapable bedrock knowledge of how to do it that now prevents any entry into the art form from falling below a certain standard. But I was wrong."

My first attempt at ful medames. Really excellent stuff, this. Simple and delicious
A table set with one small plate on the left filled by a hilariously puffed up fresh baked pita bread, flanked by a bowl filled with delicious brown mush that consists of fava beans, bit of salt and pepper, garlic, lemon juice and a bit of chopped fesh mild chili. The bowl is somewhat clumsily garnished with chopped tomatoes, thinly alived red onion, chopped cucumber, parsley and good italian olive oil.

Absolutely! This is about 10 mins walk away, one of the best pictures i have taken.
A picture at sunset in january on the coast of blekinge, sweden. The sea is frozen and covered in snow and a couple are skating across it in the distance, a low sun is casting an orange glow over the bottom of the scene, the distant moon is halfway up an almost clear powder blue sky

Made some pizza, will need some practice with this new recipe but it's very promising. I encourage people to try it. Used this recipe for the base, my usual seriouseats ny pizza sauce and my usual bscon, salami, onions and capers as topping:
youtu.be/--KHL2oxMPE
A large square pizza, nicely charred in places but no burned cheese cooling on a wire rack. It looks about as you would want it. Side view of a slice of the pizza, you can see the thin crust with a bit of air in it and it holds nearly firm held straight out. Bottom of that same slice, definitrly cooked and lightly tan, could maybe be a little more done but definitely fully baked.

Really reommend making this. Meera sodha is always so smart with her recipe twists. She really understands flavour

When makimg this do not skip the sauce, it brings everything together in a really clever way
A filo pastry pie, nice and brown all over except the center which is a pleasingly green sweep of spinach with dots of light whitebrown pine nuts and the occasional black nigella seed on a light pattern tablecloth of swrdish make.

About two thirds of them became soup.
Best mushroom soup i've made. I knoe it looks like all the others but that is just how mushroom soups be
A shallow soupbowl with a thick stripe of light blue around the middle of rim filled with a light brownish grey soup that I assure you is very delicious, the center of the soup is sprinkled with tiny leaves of thyme. To the side is a small plate of the same style of the bowl with a nicely toasted slice of sourdough bread with salted butter nicely melted into it

To be a cat.
A male olange cat sitting legs forward on golden dry grass with yellowish tinted late summer swedish sun looking oensivelt in the distance. Very dignified, very cat. His tail is all oit on the side and such. The same cat, on the same background in the same light but somehow channeling the alouch of a 65 year old plumber, belly and all

A somewhat higgledipiggledy but neat enough two-row stack of chopped wood at the back wall of a wooden garage.
