Welcome to my blog.

After a few random posts I've decided to dedicate this blog to my life long project of Japanese food
and culture (and my life in general, especially my travels).

Since my first taste of sushi back in 1997 I've been interested in, and frequently been making
Japanese food.
My interest in the country and culture started long before and continues to evolve.
I was lucky to finally visit Japan in October 2008, again in November 2019 and hope to be back soon.
In July 2012 I visited Japantown in San Fransisco, the next best thing!
I was lucky to be back in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 thanks to the fact that we now have family living in California.
Both small and big adventures will from now on, as time permits, be shared with you.

I will post other recipes and pictures too, mainly cooking projects, plants and art projects
(including my new love - making kumihimo braided objects).

I hope you'll find it interesting, and feel free to leave a comment or ask questions!

I write mainly in English, but there will be some Norwegian too, especially posts about things
that mainly have Norwegian interest. Tutorials are bi-lingual.

Preparing for the new year dinner, part 1

New Years Eve is Mr. Linuz´ favorite day of the year. It´s like Christmas to other people, he loves it soo much.
To make him (and me) happy, I always cook a nice dinner. This year it won´t be anything Japanese,
but classic gourmet food.
Look at all the nice stuff we got today! I feel almost embarrassed...
The clams and veal are Norwegian, but we "moderated" ourselves and got Canadian lobster.
We have such great seafood in this country, and I try to eat it as often as I can.


I will show you the results of our efforts tomorrow, but this is the menu:
(Champagne with all courses)

Passion fruit sorbe & champagne
-
Grilled lobster with parmesan & herbes
Pan seared scallops with chorizo and granat seed apple cores
Veal wrapped in pancetta with sweet potato cream, gnocci, chestnuts, salvia sauce and carrots
Comté cheese with cherry jam and crackers
Citrus salad with mint sugar and whipped cream
-
Macarons

My little girl will get the "child menu":

Passion fruit sorbe with strawberry "child champagne"
-
Cod with parmesan crackers
Veal with gnocci and carrots
Comté cheese with crackers
-
Macarons

Welcome 2012!
