Finnish Rye bread – hapatettu ruisleipä
Finland is well known for its dark sourdough rye bread. Finns are particularly crazy about 100% rye bread: it contains coarse rye flour, salt, and water. I got my mother dough from our Summerhouse neighbor in Finland. Old, wonderful lady, Sirkka gave it to me. As far as she knows, the starter is at least…
Goldeck Grüner Veltliner Gummy Bears (Nallekarkit kuohuviinistä)
I have been toying with the idea, of making sparkling wine gummy bears. I saw in one magazine,an advertisement about them and I have seen those gummy bear molds on sale in Amazon. I did surfing in the internet and found out how simple it is actually make gummy bears yourself. You need only couple…

Tomahawk Steak
I have a hubby who’s carnivore with capitol C! So today was his day when it comes to food. I went shopping to Mekur Market near Wels and they had aged Tomakawk cut steaks. For some reason it is very hard to find dry aged meat in Austria. Austrians are not yet familiar with what…
Asparagus wrapped in FILO
Today’s recipe is so simple but really good. I will have my wine club ladies over next weekend for wine tasting and I have been racking my head over what to serve? It has to be something light and fit into the wines I will be serving. I also would like to stick with the…
