A delicious cheesecake with raspberries for dessert.

So easy

It's so easy really, to write only a few words, as to show that you remember that you actually do have a blog, and that you do post to it from time to time.

Now it's late, and I should get ready for bed. Tomorrow I have a meeting, to go over the final tests, and to cut and paste the files that my co-worker needs before I leave for Växjö. I'll work there this summer, maybe I've mentioned that? No? For 3 months I'll have to stay there, live with my mom... Fortunately I'll have some vacation, some because it's only 2 weeks. But during those weeks I'll enjoy my holiday so much! And I'll travel to London with my boyfriend and his parents. I've never been to London. I've never been to the UK. Do I have to say that it'll be exciting?

Well, now I can't afford to write anymore. Bedtime now. 8 hours sleep is calling on me. Goodnight.

Nutrition exhibition

Last week I was working with Lina on an exhibition on dietary fibre, sugar and fat. At first we didn't know what to do and how to do it, but then we got it! Writing facts, cutting and glueing small butter packages together as well as cubic pieces of sugar. But it wasn't all just fun, I learnt a lot too while comparing products with each other. Did you know that in one small pan pizza there is as much fat, and even more, as in a complete meal! And it is saturated fat mostly.

Yesterday I laid my last effort on this assignment, and it feels so good that I don't have to bother about it anymore. The assigner told us that she thought this work could take about 4 hours, and she didn't want to pay us for more time. Unfortunate for us, this project took more than the twice as much time, but hey we had such a good time doing it and we learnt a lot so we don't mind that much. But now it feels good to be over and done with it.

This is the result: (Here you see only suggestions. Also the cupboards for the exhibition haven't arrived yet, that's why I used the chairs instead.)

Here's good food for breakfast
1. Freshly squeezed orange juice with vitamins and fibre.
2. Butter without hardened fat and with relatively low percentage of fat.
3. Low-fat milk and sourmilk.
4. Cereal with low percentage of sugar and lots of fibre.

Here's not so good food for breakfast
13. Sweetened cornflakes with no fibres and very much sugar. The sugar in front of the package shows the amount per 100 grams. (500 gr in the package.)
14. High-fat milk and yoghurt. The yoghurt also includes a lot of sugar. The fat and sugar in front shows the total amount in the package.
15. Sweetened cereal with not so much dietary fibres. The sugar in front of the package shows the amount per 100 grams. (750 gr in the package.)
16. Lowfat butter, but it contains hardened fat-acids.

Good food for lunch
1. Wholegrain pasta.
2. Wholegrain rice.
3. Wholegrain pasta with meatsauce, grilled tomatoes and a mixed salad. This quick meal has a good balance between fat and protein, 3 times as much protein.

Not so good food for lunch
7. Pasta, not wholegrain, ready in 3 minutes.
8. One dish ready to put into the microwave. The sugar and fat in front is for the whole package.
9. Billy's pan pizza, with a lot of energy and not so much nutrients.

And a not so good alternative for snacks
A bar of chocolate. The whole bar contains as much fat as showed behind the bar.

Kostfiber means dietary fibre. One piece of sugar represents 3.2 grams of sugar. One small butter packages represents 5 grams of fat.

Lurkers

I've noticed that I have more visitors on my blogs than I expected in the first place. But I seldom see anyone commenting on my posts. So...

...don't be afraid to speak up and say hi! :) Or let me know your opinion on things that I write about. Or maybe you're just passing through?

See ya out there in cyberspace!

Blog patterns

I've noticed that my blogging has a certain pattern. Days and maybe also one week or two may pass without me posting anything on my blog. Then boom! there can be an enormous amount of posts in just one day. (Now I'm counting in both of my blogs together, I know that I don't post as regularly on my English one as on my Swedish one.)

Sometimes I write a log in advance and post it later. I might have some spare time with nothing to do, and I find something to write about. Then I'll post it to the blog later on, either the same day or at least within a week.

Sometimes my life takes up too much space for me to be able to run my blog. Hm, is my blog part of my life, or my life part of my blog...

Better consider it over a cup of tea.
