PHYLLO (FILO) DOUGH WITH APPLES

PHYLLO (FILO) DOUGH WITH APPLES - Read more »
The dessert looks very difficult, but it's probably the simplest recipe I've made so far. It is enough to buy filo pastry and take a jar of ready-made apples for an apple pie from the pantry. I couldn't believe that after half an hour the spectacular "flower" is ready. The smell of cinnamon floats around the house and somehow it immediately gets ... I don't know how to express it ... cozier? Is it possible? Yes...

LENTIL AND POTATO BURGERS

LENTIL AND POTATO BURGERS - Read more »
You can either cook the potatoes on the same day you are making your burgers or use them from the day before. To quicken the work in the kitchen  I use prepared cooked canned lentils.  The burgers form and fry very well, nothing crumbles or sticks. This is the perfect dish for lovers of potatoes and all kinds of chops. You can serve them with any salad and sauce. It's an amazing experience to cook on the site of Vistehola, probably the best-known Stone Age settlement in Norway. Known locally as Svarthålå (the black hole). This was home to one or more extended families in the Mesolithic era, between 6700 and 8900 years ago.

The nutty taste of asparagus is perfectly emphasized by the addition of grated lemon peel and fresh ginger.

The small Håland lake is my favourite walking and cycling destination. The lap is less than 8 km, along the way there are many places perfect for lonely thoughts, as well as more family ones with tables, benches, or even a place for a bonfire and grilling. For today's lunch, I chose a sunny clearing overlooking the island of Hålandsholmen. This island is a bird sanctuary. It is a known breeding area for the black headed gull, great crested grebe, arctic tern and various duck species.  I did not complain about the lack of happy sounds :)
