#MidwinterSolace @LitSolace

My #FridayNightShare week 3 selection for Solstice/Equinox is a childhood favourite (tagged). My non-fiction selection is this incredible memoir and ode to nature by Kerri ní Dochartaigh, starting a few days before midwinter solstice and the following year.

Moomins Cookbook: An Introduction to Finnish Cuisine | Tove Jansson, Sami Malila

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 🙄)

LiseWorks I'm sorry but fish and eggs shouldn't go together lol 2w

Kitta Shouldn‘t it be legumes? Not legume I‘m trying to learn French! 2w

Dilara @LiseWorks LOL I was more worried about the fried egg and pickle combo! (but it was fine 😁) 2w

Dilara @Kitta That's right. It should be “légumes“, to agree with “aux“ which is a plural article 😁 (edited) 2w

Kitta @Dilara 😀 I got it right!! 2w

Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @Dilara J'ai le même livre à la maison ;) Il contient des recettes sympas. 2w

Dilara @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader Avant que je rende le livre à la bibliothèque, tu as des recettes à me recommander ? 😁 1w

Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @Dilara perso, j'aime bien l'omelette aux oignons, les spaghetti bien poivrés et le gâteau aux épices (je l'ai fait sans airelles et il était très bon). Tu peux prendre des photos des recettes que tu veux tester aussi ;) 1w

Dilara @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader Merci ! Je poste une photo et je te tague si je me lance 😁 1w

The tagged, along with several others.

There are also several 'Petterson and Findus' ones by Sven Nordqvist that are set in winter and give strong holiday vibes (at least three I can think of)...
Then of course The Shining and Misery by Stephen King and
The Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena.

Moomin and the Winter Snow | Tove Jansson

pick

I‘m excited to have Jace join me again for #foodandlit this month. I adore Moomin so this was the perfect opportunity to introduce him to Jace. I used to be very involved in Postcrossing & loved receiving Moomin cards from Finland. All of these were adorable, especially Moomin & The Favourite Thing.

Comet in Moominland (Farrar Straus Giroux) | Tove Jansson, Jansson

pick

Take a shot everytime Moomintroll says 'Strike me Pink!'...😆
So many adventures! I admit to being slightly baffled by my library's choices about this series, the first in hardcover, the next only available as an audiobook, but maybe it was a licensing/price thing. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? While I think part of the Moomintroll series appeal is supposed to be the art, I'll give kudos to the English narrator for an entertaining array of voices providing its own 'colour' for this audiobook. That being said, the Silken Monkey was a little grating. 😬 7mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? I guess this also went from being a picture book series to middle grade novellas, because the first was 50 pages and this was nearly 200? I'm not actually sure my library has the full set, but I'd be happy to pick up another as a palate cleanser. 7mo

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 I thought there was going to be a bit of nonsense about gender norms associated with its mid '40s initial release, but on balance I'd say the Snorkmaiden rose above any notions of shallow, empty-headed materiality when in a crisis, and the rest is just young and old people (especially your own siblings) saying crap about girls even the young reader knows isn't true.

Bookwomble Tove Jansson didn't follow gender norms in her life, nor in her writing 😊🏳️‍🌈 7mo

Robotswithpersonality @bookwomble Queer pioneer! ☺️ Based on the bit of poking around I've done so far, it sounds like her bio would be a great read. 7mo

Bookwomble @Robotswithpersonality She was 😊 I've had the tagged biography for eight years, as well as a volume of her letters, neither of which I've read yet! 😳 Hopefully, I'll get to at least one of them before too long 😏

Robotswithpersonality @Bookwomble Bio stacked! I admittedly have a much better track record with memoirs than full on biographies, but knowing it's under 300 pages makes it more likely I'll read it! 😅 (edited) 7mo

Comet in Moominland (Farrar Straus Giroux) | Tove Jansson, Jansson

“It was a funny little path, winding here and there, dashing off in different directions and sometimes even tying a knot in itself from sheer joy. You don't get tired of a path like that, and I'm not sure it doesn't get you home quicker in the end.“ 🚶🏼‍♂️☺️
