unlikely pairing: Pas de Deux
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2016/06/pas-de-deux.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2016. One of our first posts. Here showed our (now improved) winemaking setup. The wine being racked in those photos was the first one I ever took seriously, a pure raspberry wine, back in 2014. Immediately after, I made what is called a "second wine" by reusing the raspberry mash plus additional fresh fruit (rhubarb) to help kickstart the fermentation. Wine has really been getting around this summer. Care of their Instagram. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In Oslo, Norway.

unlikely pairing: Raspberry wine
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2014/09/raspberry-wine.html
Thursday, September 11, 2014. Either this summer was a banner year for wild raspberries or I am the only person picking—by the end of July we ended up with over 10kg of berries in our freezer. Naturally, a few weeks ago I decided the time was ripe for our berries to begin their journey into becoming wine. Before this summer I had never made wine before which is a bit strange actually, since for the last two years I have literally attempted to ferment everything in sight. Is especially good for beginners ...

unlikely pairing: On our plates: apricot risotto + friends
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2016/06/on-our-plates-apricot-risotto-friends.html
Sunday, June 19, 2016. On our plates: apricot risotto friends. Apricot risotto dressed up with parmesean and edible flowers, smoked (on the grill) salmon, steamed brocolini and super delicious turnips. Pickle bonus: sour peppers (made by my good friend Jamie) and sweet rhubarb with star anise and lemongrass (made from the garden). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

unlikely pairing: Autumn, again
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2016/08/autumn-again.html
Friday, August 26, 2016. Due to some unfortunate / unforeseeable circumstances, our summer was cut short. But all hope isn't lost for this year, since autumn has thankfully had a wonderful start. On the table above: fresh porcini (not the cat, the mushroom! Drying borage flowers, sweet teeth and various chanterelles, white cream sauce and chopped spring onion. But the smell this little contraption emitted was heavenly. Heavenly. Remember that white gravy and spring onions on our table? That gravy (subbed...

unlikely pairing: Around the cabin
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2016/06/around-cabin.html
Sunday, June 19, 2016. Red clover destined for kombucha, sweet and full of nectar. Immature ramson (ramsløk) seeds accidentally picked in the garden. At NOMA they pickle them and used them like capers. Since we don't have quite enough to do this, we are eating them raw. Rather spicy and delicious!

unlikely pairing: Back at the cabin
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2016/06/back-at-cabin.html
Saturday, June 4, 2016. Back at the cabin. Last fall Rolf felled two of our three ancient apple trees. This little replacement is called Discovery and will hopefully produce as soon as next year. Our "family" plum tree (with three different cultivars so they pollinate each other) planted last year already has several baby plums on it. Everything about our cabin and garden are a work in progress. Nevertheless, its quite lovely being here. And this summer light! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

unlikely pairing: Right now in the garden
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2016/06/right-now-in-garden.html
Sunday, June 19, 2016. Right now in the garden. Peony buds. Rolf believes that ants help open the flowers by eating their sweet dew. Porcini blissing out in the neighbor's tall grass. We don't know the exact cultivar, but it is very fragrant. The cat is smelling strongly of vanilla all the time time now. Rolf's herb corner with freshly harvested Norwegian oregano (to the left) with mint behind. Tall and proud lovage to the left. A mix of thyme, sage, witer savory and terragon in the middle.

unlikely pairing: Right now in the garden
http://www.unlikelypairing.com/2016/07/right-now-in-garden.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2016. Right now in the garden. Porcini cat and apples. Red currant, ripe for the pickin'. Our other blackberry bush (we have at least two different cultivars) flowering. Borage on the brink of flowering. An interesting little plant. Thick, kinda spiny leaves that taste like cucumber. Apparently it was the original garnish to a Pimms' cup and the sweet blue flowers are lovely in ice cubes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In Oslo, Norway. Fat of the Land.
