LifestreamAbout time. A new 350W (Cucina HR1560) mixer to replace the old 150W machine, incidentally also a Philips. A really indispensable tool that acts on the front line of kitchen utensils.

Skillet bread of the year. Can’t get any simpler. I mean why bother. If it’s good enough for millions of Indians, it’s good enough for me.

For the record I payed like 25 SEK for this [...]
I know I’ve been rambling on and defending low-price food stores, like LIDL. But after having bought a bad batch of eggs (LIDL), presumably expired and “re-issued”, I will be cutting back on at least animal products with short expiry dates (and that are known to cause sickness if not handled properly).
