Simple sidedishes

Michael Nielsen said:

Hi, I've started learning Bujinkan (the ancient art of ninjitsu) and
the friend who inspired me to doing so is into the spiritual way of
life having been in an Indian Ashram temple, denying most vices ie.
also vegetarian. So when we invite him for dinner, the dinner
comprises of various sidedishes. So I get to experiment with stuff
that is "exotic"
to danish cooking (although I guess it is quite common in the US).

Tomato-mozarella-salad
----------------------
Slice some sun-matured deep red tomatoes. Place them in a serving dish
and grind some quality salt over them. Chop a red onion finely and
sprinkle over the tomatoes. Slice (buffalo) mozarella cheese and place
over the tomatoes. Pick apart some fresh basil leaves and sprinkle
over the salad. Sprinkle with some pine kernels (roasted if you'd
like). Squirt your best olive oil over it and squeeze an organic
lemon, perhaps some modena balsamic vinegar. Decorate with good
olives.

Bulgur with sun dried veggies
-----------------------------

Rinse the bulgur, boil 10-15 minutes in salted water (1.5 to twice the
volume of water). Open a jar of mixed sundried veggies in oin and
rinse (it is probably not oilve oil in there). Mix with the bulgur.
Add a squirt of good olive oil.

Bulgur with olive paste
-----------------------

You can probably get olive paste (crushed black olives) at an italian
gourmet store. Prepare the bulgur as above and mix with olive paste.

Chick peas with pepper fruit and corn
--------------------------------------

Soak chick peas over night. Change the water. Boil 30? minutes until
tender (not mushy) and remove water. Before completely done, slice and
stir-fry yellow, red, green peppers. Squeeze an organic lemon into the
peas, add some good olive oil, and mix with peppers and corn. Perhaps
also some green peas.

Lentils with Lime
-----------------

Like the chick peas prepare so they are tender, not mushy. If they are
green they might need to soak some hours. The red ones do not (boil
only 10-15 minutes). Squeeze some lime juice into them and some good
olive oil.

Nice to see you again, Michael! Thanks for the recipes 🙂

Hi,
Have you ever been away on a trip and come home to a neutered cat? I was
at a conference near Stockholm and when I got back, the cat was missing
the hair on one leg and was neutered. I guess he stuck his nose inside
the wrong door! (he is known to go into people's homes.)

Uh, no. But when I go on trips mine stays at the vet's office.

Sounds like someone was doing you a favour! I hope he wasn't meant to
be a purebred breeder (but if he was, he shouldn't have been wandering
around the streets) I'm sure he won't be any the worse the wear for
it, and you won't have to worry about him fathering litter after
litter of kittens!

What an odd thing for that person to do. I hope your kitty's okay.

The funny thing is that he is not really our cat, but he just lives with
us. He came by trying to break into the wooden shed around the time I
came home from California. He kept hanging out and we thought he was
homeless. So we took him in and fed him and he was very intimate as if
we had had him all his life and stayed with us. A few times he was away
3 days in a row. Some time he was very sick and he was at the hospital
($200) and a month later we found out that a guy in the same block, who
is never home, owns the cat and the cat is 4 years old.
When we went to Sweden the cat had been gone a week, probably trying to
find a new home to see if the food is better. That cost him his balls
and he returned to us, while we were gone. It seemed his leg was also
hurt. Now the leg is fine, but he is still fighting a lot even without
the balls.
