Audience at Golden Goal

Simen invited me to join him at the season premier of Golden Goal http://www.tv2underholdning.no/goldengoal/ today. So hopefully we will be able to see a glimpse of us in a day or two when they show it on tv. Want to know what happens, just ask and I can tell πŸ™‚

From the Pyro newsletter

I received the weekly newsletter from Pyro today, and I spent 5 minutes reading it. At the end they have a collection of links, some related to music and some just plain crazy. One that caught my attention being in the last category, just plain crazy:

…Linda Floyd said her beloved Roscoe has since been put down because of safety concerns….

Band of brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose

My latest book is Band of brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose. This is the book which lead to the making of the famous tv-serie with the same name. All in all a very good book, as I’m able to judge referring to the events as they where, not as we want them to appear when writing “our” version. I now need to buy the DVD collection box and spend the winter watching the 10 episodes.

6 litres of fresh apple juice today

Today we made more than 6 litres of fresh apple juice, and Elin also made to apple cakes. Next weekend we will try another. Today we prepared the apples with the apple cutter, in that way the juice was a bit brighter and we did not get half as much “apple meat”-garbage. In fact, I had trouble keeping up with the speed of the machine, unlike ysterday when I had to push the apples down and you could really hear the machine working hard.

By the way, the commercial picture I used yesterday showing the machine with apples – it is a lie, the juice will never be as clear as the picture shows πŸ™‚

Remember that an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Today we bought a juice extractor

As the first picture shows, there is plenty of apples available out at Vestreng where Elins mother and father lives. And they have four other trees as well. The process is quite simple, you don’t even need to do anything with the apples, you don’t need to remove the seeds or anything. But after the first test today we will the next time use an apple slicer just like the one on the picture above. It is in fact faster than using the knife to get rid of the bad parts of the apple, and a very easy way to check if they are rotten inside.

As the third picture shows I made about 1.2 litres times two, and with very little effort. Tomorrow, who knows how much…and you can do even more if you want to – carrots, potatoes, the sky is the limit…but not bananas.
