  How to roast your own coffee Drink, Food, How to..., coffee | (6)

  Years ago while travelling the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia I found a lady selling green coffee beans in a market. As you can see from the picture she was also selling wonderful spices, but it was the raw coffee beans I was interested in. I instantly decided that this is something I have to try. Roasting my own coffee. I bought one kilo. The lady did not speak any english and kept repeating "goreng, goreng!" At that point I didn't understand what she was trying to communicate, but later on I learned that "goreng" means roast or braise. Like in ...

  The Champagne Blog up and running Drink, Food, Interesting web stuff | (2)

  Bernt and Bjarne has started a very important blog. The Champagne Blog. It will be interesting to see what they will bring. You can already learn how to sabre a bottle of sparkling beverage, and it will be interesting to follow their experiment on how to turn cheap white wine into a sparkling beauty. :-) If you want to try to sabre a bottle of champagne, it might be smart to start out with something that's not too expensive. However, we don't want to drink bad champagne, so it has to be a good one. I can recommend Tarlant Brut Zero. ...

  More reflections Drink, Food, Travel | (1)

  Slightly inspired by the soap boubles, here are some more reflections from the norwegian mountains. This time a glass of very good white wine. 25 degrees celcius today. Very nice at 800 meters above sea level here up north. Related post: Soap boubles.
