Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Recipes From My Country


It's Wednesday again and time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was recipes from my city/state/country.

As I live in Norway, I figured out I'll give you a couple of links to a couple of recipes, which is Norwegian Fish Cakes and Komle. Both of them are from the Thanks for the Food blog, where you can find even more Norwegian-inspired recipes if you're interested. The blogger has even published a cook book.

At least I had common sense enough to NOT link to a recipe for the slightly "evil" thing called Smalahåve, which is basically roasted sheep head. Thanks, but no thanks. I would prefer haggis from Scotland, as with haggis, at least the food isn't staring back at me while I eat it.

    I'd have a hard time eating something looking back at me too. I thought haggis was a little gross until I found out what they put into hot dogs and bologna. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/10/wc-100720.html

      Considering what goes into hot dogs and such, haggis isn't too bad. :-)

    I couldn't eat anything that's looking at me. Thanks for the other suggestions. :-)

    Komie and fish cakes sound delicious! But I don't think I could eat something that was staring back at me either. :)

      I think there's a lot of people who wouldn't like to eat something that's staring back at us.

      Yeah, there is something a bit disturbing about something looking back at you. :-P

    I like the sound of those. Not so much the sheep's head, though.

      If it's to any comfort, even a lot of Norwegians stay clear of the sheep's head. :-P

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w

Review; The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana

I read the horror novel The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana earlier this year and today I'll post my review of the book. Description from Goodreads From the author of international horror sensation Gone to See the River Man comes a new tale of terror that will drag you to the darkest corners of the soul. Some girls are fearful, others are brave. One girl’s a princess, the next one, a slave. But all girls are equal, when they’re down in this cave, until just one is left standing—The Prettiest Girl in the Grave. It’s only supposed to be a game.
