Thank you. She appears to be a published author, but I've not heard her name before, I don't think. Incidentally, she is the first Finnish PWME I've ever heard about. The illness is very little known over here; most Finns will not even recognise the name. I have wondered whether there was a British pocket or an epidemic in the 80s? <br /><br />I cooked a small-wee-hours pasta thing last night, as I came home very late from watching the preview showing of my company's spring production and the inevitable drinkies that follow such events. Many odds and ends went into it, and I did toy with the idea of taking a photo and writing up the sorry semi-drunken process. Didn't, in the end, which I now regret. Might have been fun to analyse the workings of The Drunken Cook with a clearer, sober mind. Ah well. There's always a next time.<br /><br />We have had some 48 hours of straight snowfall. Well over a foot of it has come down from the heavens within that time. I will need to wrap up and take Ms Dogot to have a snow-wade. Hope things are fine with you today, <b>Signskins</b>.<br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897493.post-81563349770136825932012-11-30T22:38:29.111+02:002012-11-30T22:38:29.111+02:00f-y-i - I came across this person through Twitte...f-y-i - I came across this person through Twitter:<br /><br />http://www.fiikus.net/?recipes<br /><br />She has M.E. and I don't know how she does what she does because she always seems to have some project on the go.

The non-veggie igloo dwellers substitute meaty mince for soya, but that's just crazy stuff.<br /><br />I am with you on the blandness of soya mince; however, you can, when you know what you're doing, flavour it so it tastes like anything you want it to taste like. (Hang on. Maybe one could do that with grit, too? "Soup from Grit" could then be the sequel to "Soup from a Stone" and "Singing into a Pot".) Anyway, one cannot be picky when there's a lot of month left and the only things in the larder are the things one lands up being left with in these situations. So just pick up your fork and knife and finish your igloo plateful, <b>Signs</b>, without all this complaining.<br /><br />But yes, it is nice just as the macaroni thing (a staple on an igloo Christmas table, as a side dish, when cooked sans meat/soya, incidentally).<br /><br />I look forward to the gingerbread. Loved the swine big style. And the sheep. But maybe particularly the piggy-wigs.<br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897493.post-8469029245993536872012-11-28T20:28:49.593+02:002012-11-28T20:28:49.593+02:00Is this what veggie igloo-dwellers eat?

But, like you said, one can substitute. Or just have it as a cheesy macaroni egg custard. <br /><br />ok. Just going to make my first batch of gingerbread of the season. With buckwheat flour.
