Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed another book by this author I read for #foodandlit #Finland this month. So this was an automatic buy for me. On sale today. @Catsandbooks

#two4Tuesday Thanks @TheSpineView for the tag!

1) a cup of black tea with honey in the morning and after dinner, cuddles with my cat

2) persistence in the face of death and just about everything else!

This is an oddly entertaining and satisfying murder mystery—the victim performing his own investigation to find his murderer while trying to save his organic mushroom business against a fierce competitor in this quiet Finnish hamlet. Jaakko has been poisoned over a long period of time such that he became used to it while it damaged all of his internal organs. He‘s on borrowed time. And does he ever make use of it. There are only two suspects ⬇️

When your Finnish sister-in-law and her mother agree your attempt at a Finnish recipe is spot-on. 🎉🎊

Tonight I tried making “PANNU KAKKU (FINNISH OVEN PANCAKE)” for #Finland for #foodandlit. It was ummm, good, but very sweet. Maybe not the best breakfast-for-dinner plan. So we ordered pizza. We will try the remaining Finnish sweets I ordered another day while we all recover from the sugar high here. @Catsandbooks

It‘s always a good day when my #foodandlit book talks about food! #Finland #letterM #Christmasatoz #xmaschacha #wintergames @StayCurious @Catsandbooks

My Finland reading list for #foodandlit!
As usual, I enjoyed Paasilinna. Although this book is not my favourite, I got really emotional with the Christmas themed ending. The story is about a recently deceased man who learns how to be a ghost in the afterlife.👻

The Xenophobe's guide to Finland was a quick and fun read about some of the cultural particularities that are unique to this country.

I made pyttipanna (or pyttipannu) using the Moomins cookbook 😁: it's fish, potatoes and onions fried together, and served with beetroot, gherkins and a fried egg. Easy comfort food!
(French readers will notice a spelling mistake on the page 🙄)

I read The Last Book of Hope (not in the database) rather than the tagged book, but it'll have to do. Those comic strips are melancholic and rather obscure sometimes. I chose a quintessentially Finnish page, with sauna nudity cropped out. Most strips went over my head, but they were still interesting.
