Vegan Bean Brownies

These are pretty splendid brownies based on a recipe from this blog.

One can of black beans (approximately 230 grams)
One table spoon crushed linen seeds
2,5 table spoons water
Two table spoons rape seed oil (canola oil)
Some may like to add a little coffee
100 ml sugar
100 ml dark chocolate
100 ml coco powder
One tea spoon baking powder

Run everything except the chocolate in food processor until smooth, then add chocolate and blend until there is hardly any sound of crushed chocolate. Bake in a baking paper covered tin in the oven 175C for approximately 20 minutes until the top is dry. Cool and store in the fridge.

This may happen... Very rich cake, a small piece goes a long way

There used to be trees in the background here, but they are all cut down and now this contraption has surfaced. Are we seeing "progress" here? Man against nature? The trees used to be lovely.

In Oslo the main street is named after a Swedish king

I do so love hearing someone over the age of twenty who can do this kind of athleticism. Shows there may be hope for us all.

I'm sorry it is in Norwegian. It says among other things that you have a duty to say no to stupidity that kills.

Honorable mention in international photo competition ..... :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) must practice even harder now. They did not write Linnea  though - which is my middle name, look for Oslo, Norway. I asked them if they could put my middle name on the webpage too, hopefully they will.

A National Treasure

A bill made by Aurkust who drew the stories of Solan Gundersen and other equally eccentric and wonderful characters.  Picture taken at Theatercafeen - Soland's menu: vodka, peas&meat, cream cake, pint of lager and an assortment (large:) of other spirits. Solan is a national treasure in Norway. A highly loved character, very tough in a very cute way and working class to the bone, in a way that transcends everything.

Knitted Art

My friend Nina and I have been arranging Kulturnatt i Oslo Musikklærerforening (Culture Night in Oslo Musikklærerforening 2012 - part of Culture Nigh in Oslo 2012) for four years now. This was our last time. This year Annelene Erikesen exhibited knitted art. 

I was in charge that day, not a lot of time to take pictures, so these are the snappiest of snapshots

Week of Tea XIII

Choral Evensong at Saint Bartholomew the Apostle on August 26th 2012. M's father in law's hymn was performed by a wonderful organist, professional choir and afterwards there was a great reception in honor of M's father in law's best friend and his wife's 50th wedding anniversary. I felt like the luckiest person in the world being invited.
