So I really haven’t written anything here in almost a year, so I figured that it might be time for me to add something or other to my words of… well something. And also a friend said I should write something
So here is what I’ve decided to share; my not entirely famous recipe for brownies.
You’ll need:
- 150 grams of chocolate
- 150 grams of butter
- 3 dl flour
- 3 dl suggar
- 3 eggs
I tend to double it, which is easy since everything is in nice and round quantities.
Start by melting the butter and chocolate in a bowl. when that’s done just blend everything into a thick batter (be sure to taste it ^^) and then find a pan that fits. For a double recipe, use a large pan. It shouldn’t be too thick or to thin. Somewhere between 2 and 4 cm is usually the best.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and put the cake in for about 15-20 minutes. You’ll have to check the consistency of the cake a few times. It should be sticky, but firm. So that you can cut pieces out of it without it being runny. It easily gets a bit dry if you leave it in the oven too long.
And that’s it
You can add chunks of chocolate (white or dark) or nuts if you like. I think it should be served hot, straight out of the oven. Also it doesn’t hurt to add some Ice cream ^^

I’ve been volunteering at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 now for about 2 weeks, which is fun. I’m part of the IT support crew, which means I go around feeding paper to the printers, helping journalists connect their wireless devices to the network and otherwise just abusing the coffee machine that’s here for the crew.
I’ve actually had a blast and I’m almost looking forward to seeing how insane things get on Saturday night during the final. What I am sort of dreading is having the latest shift we have; 18:30 to 04:00.
I’m also looking forward to it all being over, so far I think I’ve heard all the songs at least 50 times each. And I’m not here because I like the music… A lot of it is what i considerer highly annoying, and the rest is a combination of even more annoying and a few songs that are OK. But even the ones that i don’t mind get quite annoying when they are played a gazillion times.
It’s been interesting to see how the press works though. The support desk is in the corner of the big work area, so there are journalists of all types running around like lemmings to get what they want. And during the semifinal tonight, some of them showed a lot of enthusiasm about who went on to the final. A few of them danced along to the songs (more or less without rhythm), some sang along (mostly out of tune) and some of them I think might be a bit attention seeking, since they were making out in front of a live-streaming camera.
Google has made a nifty forecast gadget that is quite cool, and I think it might be quite accurate. Right now they haven’t adjusted for the results of the second semifinal, so Sweden is still listed on number 7, but all the other countries in the top 10 are ones that now are in the final.
I’ll try to post some pictures from the final on Saturday.

I really like pancakes, but for some reason i never seem to be able to remember the recipe. so every time i want to make some, i usually go online to find the recipe i used last, but that’s not always easy since the results of google searches, changes over time.
So now i’ve just decided that i’ll post a recipe here, because then i’ll remember where to find it the next time i want to make pancakes.
- 250 grams wheat flour
- 1 ts salt
- 2 ts baking powder/soda
- 2 dl buttermilk
- 1,5 dl milk
- 1 egg
- 1 spoon melted butter
- butter for frying
- syrup
That’s the original recipe i use, but then i usually add about 1 dl of oats as well, as way to make it a bit healthier. Since oats really don’t change the taste at all.

The picture is of an ice sculpture that was made to draw awareness for hahiti, I have some better ones as well, but this one was after they broke down a wall and removed the collection urn.
