Colourful lunch

I made a mango salsa for lunch - a super simple, quick and so delicious side with meat patties, or sausages, or falafel for example (I made my patties of minced meat, salt, pepper, egg, dijon mustard, chili flakes, onion and a bit of heavy cream).

MANGO SALSA
2 fresh or frozen mango
1 red onion
Coriander/Cilantro (as much as you like)
Fresh chili or chili flakes (as much as you like)
Salt (as much as you like)
A pinch of black pepper
1 small teaspoon olive oil

Slice everything into pieces, put in a bowl and mix carefully with a spoon.

Berlin as a visitor

Went out for a walk today and gave myself the task Take pictures like you did when you were visiting Berlin.
Now it's time to make a mango salsa, a very spicy one. Yum!

March 3, 1999-2017

Time for a "recap". This is:
March 3, 1999: My sister in her newly painted toilet & I was crocheting something big.


March 3, 2000: I was taking pictures for a website I was making for mobile services. Made my first logotype, it's still in use. This was when I still lived in Luleå.


March 3, 2001: I had moved to Gothenburg, looked like this and went to Marstrand.


March 3, 2002: Was doing an evening course in graphic design at Forsbergs Skola where I learned more during 2 nights a week for 1.5 years than I did at HDK for 5 years. This is from walking to the tram, in the middle of Gothenburg.


March 3, 2003: Had moved to a new central flat, roaming around the attic.


March 3, 2004: Applying for HDK, which led me to a completely new life. One of the topics was suicide.


March 3, 2005: My kitchen in Gothenburg and the first sandwich cake I made with Johan, when we were still "just" friends :)


March 3, 2006: And BAM I moved to my own flat with the red kitchen. Johan is drinking tea, trying to explain something to me.


March 3, 2007: I had just cut Johan's hair. He looks so young! From the flat we lived in together for many years in Gothenburg, on 34 squaremeters, omg.


March 3, 2008: We went to Luleå to visit my family and play in the snow.


March 3, 2009: Seafood in the kitchen!


March 3, 2010: I had a studio for a year in Gothenburg, before moving to Berlin. Painted the toilet door in this amazing colour.


March 3, 2011: Now we were living in Berlin. On this particular day we walked from Ostkreuz to Westkreuz.


March 3, 2012: This day we walked around in Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf and had some German food at Kastanie.


March 3, 2013: Seems like this day was a walking day at the beginning of our Berlin career ;) This is somewhere in Kreuzberg or Neukölln, I think.


March 3, 2014: A tour around Mitte with Johan, eating pizza at Clärchens Ballhaus.


March 3, 2015: I met up Johan in Prenzlauer Berg where he was working at the time and took a walk back to Friedrichshain to have some coffee.


March 3, 2016: A morning meeting with Johan when we decided to try a pretty new spot for breakfast. Wasn't very good, you know when the food tastes of the cutting board. The place is closed now.


March 3, 2017: Woke up to sun and will go to my friend's restaurant to take pictures of food in a few hours.

For the beauty of it

Just because the colours are so good.

There's a storm outside.
I'm inside hiding, listening to someone's not so good drum playing skills right above my head.

Searching for something.

Visitors who also love good food

Johan's parents came to town and I met up with them at the airport and then we went straight to Santa Cantina for lunch. Margaritas included. Off to the supermarket to buy cream, they were re-branding and the shelves were pretty empty.


Cream for SEMLA! My favourite pastry in the world. Day-time drinking made us all sleepy and when Johan came home from work we had a bottle of bubbles and these sugar bombs, which made us all awake again.


Late night dinner, so good.


After sleeping in on Friday, we started the day with burgers at Gotham Imbiss.


And then off to my friends' bar. I had a hot cocoa and the other ones had bourbon and absinthe.


OK, so guys, let's cross the city and go to Stone Brewers! Johan yelled. And so we went. And tried 16 different beers.


You could get the beers as 15cl, thank you very much.


Hello lovely people! (Look at Johan's shirt, we found it in a second hand shop in Sweden this xmas and both screamed IT'S MINE)


Some small things to eat with the beer.


The place is beautiful and because it's new and clean it felt like we had left Berlin and been traveling to Sweden.


Bye Stone Brewers. After this we took a taxi to Gotham Imbiss and had chicken wings hanging out with a lot of friends.


On Saturday we met up for a car ride to Xberg where we had pizza.


I'm trying to remember what we did after the pizza, but...? Oh, yes! We went to Frischeparadies to look at delicious stuff and then off to friends' different bars to hang out with friends. Hunger stroke again and I was in the mood for broth and ended up having a vegan very healthy dumpling soup, which I had to pay for the day after ;) Was so hangover hungry that I didn't manage to snap a picture of my breakfast before it was in my belly, muaha. Had it at my darling Roland's place Cozys ;)


On our last evening we went to Mitte for some hot pot, such a social way of eating together.


Monday morning and we had breakfast at Silo before saying farewell. Well, before the farewell Johan's parents and I were hanging out on a park bench in the sun cuddling with dogs. And boom, Spring arrived!

Had such a great time as you can see.
And, now what? I have no idea.
