We arrived in sunny Mallorca on Saturday at a huge 22 degrees.. Kath and I immediately stripped off (well took our jackets off).. Kath’s aunt Maxine and Grandpa met us at the airport to pick us up. Surprisingly enough our flight was early, good old Ryanair.

From the airport we headed to Maxine’s flat which Kath and I are staying at. (Maxine and Tommy have a beautiful house behind the flat. We then headed out to lunch to an all-you-can-eat (and drink) buffet. We all stuffed ourselves full then headed into Port de Polenca to take Kath’s Grandpa home. He has an apartment right on the waters edge, beautiful location. We then went to Maxine and Tommy’s house and had watched some tv on the wide screen and had some wine.

On Sunday we had a pretty quiet day and headed out to a Medieval Fayre Markets which we walked around an old church courtyard that had a whole pig on the spit. Maxine bought us some slippers to keep our feet warm in the evenings. We went to a Kebab place for lunch. It was the biggest kebab ever!And Tasty!!

On Monday, Maxine was going to hire a car for us. So we drove into the town centre of Port Pollenca and tried to hire a car, however we were to young so we drove to Alcudia and Maxine hired us a little blue Ford Ka.  It’s a nice little 3 door car. In the afternoon we drove up to Formentor which is up narrow little roads up mountains and through tunnels to get some great views and to see a far which is a lighthouse. The views were absolutely amazing! Got to love the Mediterranean.

On Tuesday, we filled the car up at a petrol station in Alcudia – the guy came up and filled the car up for us and then you just go in and pay – it was great!! We then drove through Arta, then to Cap de Pera and went up to the lighthouse and had a nice little break – the views on this corner of Mallorca were just as beautiful if not better. We were having a snack of some cheese chip things and all these cats come out from nowhere – there was like 7 cats! We then drove around for awhile trying to find the coves de arta. We got 2 euros of our tickets which was good – the caves were great – the guide spoke spanish, some english and a little bit of french – Pretty impressive!

We then drove home and had a nice night in. On Wednesday – Kath started to feel a little better and we went in to Port Pollenca and had a quick walk around the markets and then came home- to go off for a nice drive up mountains to Port Solla. The roads were narrow – but the views were amazing. There was an odd car who we think were driving around the tourist stop points seeing if people left there cars open. We had parked our car at one photo spot, and we were taking some photos and just sitting in the sun when Kath see’s this car come from one direction and turns around and drives back the way they came and parked right behind our car, the passenger guy got out and started to look at “the view” and then when he saw us walking back to the car he got back in and had to REVERSE to drive off. The fact that he was that close when There WAS like at least 100 other places seemed odd… as we were driving along we saw the same car within like 3kms like 5 times. We think he was driving around the tourist photo stops. So we kept driving to Port Soller and had a nice walk around the water and tried to make sense of the menus etc…  We ended up getting ice cream.

We then headed through some towns and ended up in Palma (the capital of Mallorca).. The traffic was horrific through the town centre. We then headed back up to the flat. We’ve seen some fantastic views and are loving the sun and warm weather we are having.

Made Saveur’s Urfa (Spiced Lamb) Kebab, from the May 2009 issue. Followed the super-easy recipe with no troubles. I did broil instead of grilling (hey, it was drizzly!). The magazine’s beauty shot is what you see at left, with that tomato. Here’s what mine looked like:


How different are they? Mine’s definitely “turdier.” Maybe I shoulda done it on the grill, just to flatten it out a bit. Whatever–they tasted great, with couscous and a salad.

One hundred women were asked to carry a clicker in an experiment to measure how many times they felt anxiety about their bodies ageing. Over a seven day period, the women aged 35 to 69 had to use the clicker every time they worried about their face, body, or appearance in general. On average, the women surveyed had negative thoughts 36 times a day. One of the participants, Loose Women presenter Sherrie Hewson, 59, said: “It brought to the fore how many women have issues. “Listening to others, they are saying what I’m saying when you think it’s only you. “There are so many of us there’s got to be a common denominator, so we’ve got to get together and change it, change us.” Sherrie, who had a facelift ten years ago, clicked 1,400 times over seven days but admitted she thought it would be more. In her waking hours, she experienced a negative thought about herself approximately every three minutes.

“When I look in the mirror, my overriding thought is: “I don’t know this person.” I wake up to this face, and I feel as though it’s someone else’s. All I see in the mirror is age creeping up on me. “The worst time for me in terms of clicking was the morning. “Just getting up, I’d look in the mirror at my face and hair and think: “Oh dear, now that’s a worry.” I’d click as I put my make-up on, but the more make-up I applied the less I clicked, and by the time my “face” was complete I’d have stopped clicking. “I’d also click whenever I saw images of myself as a young actress, which happens from time to time. Just seeing how I used to look would remind me I was getting older.” The study was devised by keep-fit instructor Irene Estry and psychologist Emma Kenny to see if a looks-obsessed society creates ageism and pressure to stay youthful.

I’m A Celebrity: Katie Price dumps Alex Reid live on air… hours after he flies to Australia to propose

It’s perhaps not the most tactful way to end a relationship, but Katie Price ensured maximum exposure when she dumped boyfriend Alex Reid live on air last night. The cagefighter had just landed in Australia after flying thousands of miles to see his girlfriend of four months, who was competing on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. He planned to propose. Instead Katie summoned him to her hotel room and told him she was fed up with him ‘making money from her’ and then went on live TV to tell the nation.

The former glamour model left the I’m A Celebrity jungle two weeks early on Sunday after the public kept forcing her to endure ‘bushtucker trials’.

But despite this, she will forfeit just £100,000 from her  £350,000 appearance fee, and is expected to make as much as £1million in magazine, advertising and television deals. Last night presenters Ant and Dec spoke to her live on air for the first time since her departure. Miss Price said she had done a ‘lot of reflection in the jungle’, adding ‘I realised it was best if I’m on my own. I don’t want a relationship.’

When asked if Alex was still her boyfriend she said: ‘I’m not with him’. Sources close to the star said Alex was booked into the five star hotel Palazzo Versace on the Australian Gold Coast, where Jordan has stayed since her departure from the show. But on his arrival the concierge had refused to tell him which room she was in. The source said: ‘An hour before she appeared on air Jordan summoned him and told him it was over. ‘She was fed up with him making money from her. Friends say he is devastated.’

Miss Price warned producers about her announcement just minutes before filming started. The brunette also confessed to viewers that she had behaved terribly since her split from Peter Andre. She told Ant and Dec: ‘I’ve come out a better person. For seven months I’ve acted like a right twit. I’m sorry if I’ve upset people. She added that the jungle had brought back ‘amazing memories’ of her former husband. I didn’t want to be in there without Pete,’ she said.

Describing the reason for her decision, she added: ‘Lots of things have happened. Lots of things shouldn’t have happened. I can’t live my life by everybody else.’ Miss Price told Ant and Dec that the jungle experience had left her ’so much happier’. It made me reflect on my past. It made me realise I probably did act a right fool behaving the way I did,’ she said. Viewers watching ITV2’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now… saw Katie greeted by her friend Michelle Heaton as she left the jungle. Katie hugged Michelle and asked her for ‘any goss’.

Michelle told her Alex ‘was supposed to be coming over to propose to you. We think live on TV. Listen – you know how we all feel.’ Katie asked: ‘As a friend what would you tell me to do right now?’ Michelle told her: ‘You need to get rid of him baby. I’ve told you.’ Earlier as Alex boarded his flight to Australia he told waiting reporters: ‘I’m definitely asking her to marry me. ‘One idea is I make the proposal in front of the cameras on the show. But whatever happens I know this is right. I’ve never felt this way before.’ But it seems Katie didn’t share his feelings.

Breaking up: Alex Reid said Katie was everything he has ever wanted, but she told him to stop using her to make money

Earlier she told her fellow campmates: ‘Being in camp has been closure in my head, I’m 100per cent not a bad person, I just want to be with my children, they are my life.’ And she said the repeated trials had been very tough. The challenges every day have been really hard for me, I would tackle anything that comes my way …..I’ve pushed myself and fed the camps. It doesn’t bother me whether I’m first out or second, third, I came here for a different reason.’ The other celebrities were all shocked by her decision. Former Hollyoaks actor Stuart Manning said: ‘I thought she’d stick with it until she was voted out or voted queen of the jungle.’ Kim said: ‘I liked her. She was a gutsy broad.’

Two Idiotic reactions to freezing weather: [Don't try these at home]

1) This is a true story about John Porter, from New York State, USA, whose pipes in his home froze one winter. Anxious to unfreeze them, Mr Porter backed his car up to an open window so that the exhaust would warm up the house. A little while later and Porter, his wife and their three children had to be rushed to hospital suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.

2) George Gibbs, from Columbus, Ohio, suffered second-degree burns on his head.  This is what happened one freezing cold winter morning.  Unable to start his car, George diagnosed the problem as a frozen fuel line which he thought he could correct by running warm petrol through it.  He then tried to heat a two-gallon can of petrol on his gas stove in the kitchen.  Ah…..Bless

Mariah Carey’s diva-style behaviour on GMTV is revealed by Kate Garraway

She insisted on bringing her own butterfly-shaped confetti to the X Factor and left the normally affable television host Phillip Schofield furious with her lateness. And now presenter Kate Garraway has revealed more of Mariah Carey’s diva-style behaviour following the singer’s appearance on GMTV. Miss Garraway, 42, said the star – the world’s best-selling female artist – stunned producers by having two people to lower her on to the famous GMTV sofa.

She said the singer also had an entourage watching to ensure she was being filmed at her best angle and brought her own toilet roll to the studios. The blonde host, who has this month returned to work on the ITV breakfast programme after having her second child, son Billy, said: ‘We had Mariah Carey in the GMTV studios last week, where she was pre-recording an interview with Lorraine Kelly. ‘I’ve heard a lot of rumours about her being a diva over the years and guess what? It turns out it’s all true!’ Miss Garraway added: ‘While Mariah was very nice, the amount of people she had in her entourage was hilarious. ‘They outnumbered the entire GMTV crew! She had two people to lower her on to the GMTV sofa, in case her dress got crushed, one person to walk in front of her backwards at all times in case she fell over and several people behind the camera making sure she was going to be filmed from the right angle! ‘Have you ever heard anything like it? Oh, and she brought her own toilet roll as well.’

The presenter’s claims come after Miss Carey, 39, and her management made a host of demands to open Westfield shopping centre’s Christmas Wonderland last week. More than 14 million watched as the star performed her new single, I Want To Know What Love Is, on the X Factor on Sunday night. Some viewers questioned whether Miss Carey, who had pre-recorded her performance, was singing live. One fan said: ‘How bad is her miming?! A “superstar” that has to mime, what a disgrace!’.'Another viewer said: ‘Yes, she was miming. You see it well in the part where she took the mic off the stand in the middle of her singing and the voice didn’t change.’ However, an X Factor spokeswoman insisted that Miss Carey had sung live as well as using a backing track. The star recently claimed she is not a diva, despite admitting her dogs have their own entourage. The singer said she had insisted on having assistants on hand for her Jack Russell pooches Cha Cha and JJ while filming a recent commercial, insisting: ‘My puppies are starring in this ad with me, too. ‘I had my team with me but the pups had a mini entourage of their own, of course! And why wouldn’t they? It was a big shoot and even my entourage had an entourage – my stylist had an assistant, my security had extra security. ‘The shoot was based on the fact that some people think I’m a demanding diva. I have no idea why people have that impression!’ The ‘Fantasy’ singer has previously admitted to feeling baffled by her ‘demanding’ reputation. She said: ‘I am baffled, shocked and appalled when I am called a diva. I’ve never done one diva-ish thing in my life. The actual definition of a diva is a woman who sings well. The secondary definition is a woman who is difficult to deal with. I hope I am the first, but I really don’t think I am the second. I don’t believe I am truly nasty and act in a bad way.’ Miss Garraway was not in the studio at the same time as Miss Carey and her entourage. However a source close to the presenter said: ‘Kate got in shortly afterwards and the place was abuzz with what had happened. It was not so much Mariah, as she points out – but her entourage.’ Miss Carey’s spokeswoman called Miss Garraway’s claims a ‘clear, gross exaggeration’. She said: ‘With regards to the “entourage”, every star of Mariah’s calibre is surrounded by a working team and Mariah doesn’t actually have any more people working with her than any other major star.’

The car was once part of a fleet used by the Nazi leader in his travels across Europe during the Second World War. The midnight blue 770 K model car was locked away in a collector’s garage in Bielefeld along with seven other vehicles used by Nazi leaders. Michael Froehlich, a Duesseldorf car dealer, said he brokered the deal for the unnamed billionaire, who also bought the other vehicles in the collection. Included among the collection was an identical Mercedes once owned by Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Nazi foreign minister who was hanged at Nuremberg for war crimes. After the Second World War the car travelled the world, first going to Austria, then to a car museum in Las Vegas, then back across the ocean to a brewery tycoon in Munich and finally to the anonymous collector in the British army garrison town of Bielefeld. Mr Froelich turned up the car’s original papers and repair logs and matched the licence plate number – 1A 148461 – to photos of Hitler in the car.

In a festive red scarf, Susan Boyle looked like all her Christmases had come at once as she was greeted by thousands of fans in the United States yesterday. A huge crowd stood in New York’s freezing Rockefeller Plaza waiting for their idol, left, to sing live on The Today Show, which was broadcast to millions across America. Just seven months after her debut on ITV show Britain’s Got Talent, the 48-year-old is a global star who can pull in crowds as big as any other chart-topper in the music business. “I’ve grown up a bit. I’ve become more of a lady,” she joked with the TV show’s host Matt Lauer, “I don’t swivel my hips as much, you know?” Yesterday, her 12-song debut CD, I Dreamed A Dream, went on sale after recording the biggest ever pre-sales for a CD online. This month alone, Susan has sold more advance copies than U2, Bruce Springsteen or Coldplay did with any of their albums.

‘Body sold’ to Russia kebab shop

Police in Russia have arrested three homeless men suspected of killing a man, eating part of the body and selling other parts to a kebab shop.

The men were held in the city of Perm, some 1,400km (870 miles) east of Moscow, local investigators said.

Their statement said that the suspects had targeted the 25-year-old victim out of “personal hostility”. It was not clear when the incident occurred. The men – who have not been named – have been charged with murder. The investigators said on Friday that the body of the man had been found in a forested area near a public transport stop in Perm. They said the three men attacked their victim with knives and a hammer. “After carrying out the attack, the corpse was dismembered. Part of it was eaten and part was also sold to a kebab and pie kiosk,” their statement said.It was not immediately clear if any customers had been served.

Russian police have arrested three homeless people suspected of eating a 25-year-old man they had butchered and selling other bits of the corpse to a local kebab house.

Suspicions were raised when dismembered parts of a human body were found near a bus stop in the outskirts of the Russian city of Perm, 1,150 km (720 miles) east of Moscow.

Three homeless men with previous criminal records have been arrested on suspicion of setting upon a foe with knives and a hammer before chopping up his corpse to eat, local investigators said in a statement on their www.susk.perm.ru Web site.

“After carrying out the crime, the corpse was divided up: part was eaten and part was also sold to a kiosk selling kebabs and pies,” the Prosecutor-General’s main investigative unit for the Perm region said in a statement issued Friday.

It was not immediately clear from the statement if any of the corpse had been sold to customers.

A polícia russa prendeu três sem-abrigo suspeitos de matar e comer um rapaz de 25 anos de idade, vendendo algumas partes do seu corpo a dois restaurantes, um de tartes e outro de kebab. O alarme foi dado quando partes de um cadáver foram encontrados perto de uma paragem de autocarro na periferia de Perm, a cerca de 700 quilómetros a leste de Moscovo.

De acordo com as declarações do departamento de polícia de Perm, os três canibais tinham antecedentes, tendo sido presos por esfaquearem um homem até à morte e dividido o corpo para se alimentarem. No entanto, as autoridades não esclareceram se os restaurantes chegaram a cozinhar e a comercializar qualquer carne do homem.

Temos mesmo de ter muito cuidado com aquilo que comemos…

Musicie nam wybaczyć sporadyczną ostatnio częstotliwość notek, ale wszystko w trosce o rzetelność. Otóż w odpowiedzi na liczne listy, maile i anonimy z pogróżkami (te ostatnie są jakby mniej mile widziane) postanowiliśmy w końcu nauczyć was jak wyrywać laski. A ponieważ zanim coś napiszemy na blogu, najpierw testujemy w praktyce, w ostatnim miesiącu mieliśmy pełne ręce (ekhm) roboty. O tym jednak niedługo (może na święta), dziś bowiem udowodnimy wam, że przyszłość leży w Azji.

Korespondencja z Azji, ekipa JŻ!

Generalnie nie jest tak, że przyszłość naprawdę leży w Azji. Punktem wyjścia jest ucieczka poza granice Unii Europejskiej, a ponieważ Ukraina się nie nadaje bo tam psy dupami szczekają (ostatnio także świnie), nowy amerykański prezydent wpędził w sporą konfuzję antysemitów, a w Afryce jest kurewsko ciepło, ostatecznie nasz wybór padł na Azję. Edit: Ktoś tam w komentarzach podpowiada, że jest jeszcze jakaś Australia, ale widocznie chciał błysnąć i oczywiście zgasł. Przecież Australia leży w granicach UE, gdzieś tam obok Szwajcarii, mają tam kangury i dziobaki i mają też takie faaajne piwnice. My wiemy lepiej, a jakby na potwierdzenie piąteczki z geografii były na maturze!

Czytelnicy, którzy nie przeglądają serwisów informacyjnych z pewnością zadadzą pytanie “dlaczego?”. Sprawa jest prosta, w naszym kraju się pierdoli, konstytucyjna głowa państwa jest chora (w sensie przeziębiona) i trafiła do szpitala, premier chciał wejść all-inem, a checknął go Kamiński, co niestety może przyfoldować poparcie dla Platformy. Istnieje realne ryzyko, że jełopy z UPR (tak, tak, wklejcie swój program pod notką) dojdą do władzy lub chociaż wejdą do sejmu, a to już wystarczający powód, by spierdzielać gdzie się da.

Realnym powodem jest jednak Unia Europejska. Na potrzeby tej notki (i nie tylko ) zapoznaliśmy się bliżej z tajnikami prawa Unii Europejskiej i przyznamy szczerze, że takiego pierdolenia jeszcze nie czytaliśmy (a czytaliśmy blog Joanny Senyszyn). Z tej powalonej organizacji naprawdę trzeba uciekać, bo dziś zajmują się ilością emulgatorów owocowych w landrynkach, ale w 2012 w sprawie Komisja vs Izaak Stollzstein w ramach tolerancji religijnej obrzezanie stanie się obowiązkiem wszystkich facetów, w 2015  w głośnej sprawie Komisja vs Zbigniew Ziobro przynajmniej jedna osoba na czteroosobową rodzinę będzie musiała legitymować się jako homoseksualista, a w 2020 (Komisja vs Obama, to chyba oczywiste?) wszystkich nas przemalują na czarno! Ale my już wtedy będziemy sobie smacznie popijać sake.

Komisja własnie postanowiła, że od tej pory podpisy pod obrazkami będą mogły mieć tylko 145 znaków ze spacj

Azja to piękny kontynent, trzeba tylko znaleźć dobre miejsce do mieszkania. Góra odpada, bo jest tam strasznie zimno, a na dodatek Rosjanie w kółko testują sequel Sputnika. Odpada też południe, ponieważ mieszkańcy Indii mają słabe głowy i robią niezbyt smaczne kebaby, a więc osiedlając się tam, stalibyśmy się pierdolonymi hipokrytami. Z podobnego powodu odpada cały Bliski Wschód, bo choć kebaby mają tam zajebiste, a w Dubaju można nawet pojeździć na nartach (i żeby nie było za pięknie – także na snowboardzie), to jednak ich radykalny stosunek do alkoholu nie wróży nam długiej kariery. Istnieje także dość spore prawdopodobieństwo, że poznaliby się na naszej zajebistości, a Kuba i Kazik (jak głosić będzie Koran) zawstydzili Mahometa.

Gdy już znudzi nam się Bliski Wschód, to jak ten Mojżesz poprowadzimy was przez pustynie (ha, piąteczki z geografii) do Japonii. Uwaga, w tym miejscu burzymy mit seksownych Azjatek. Musicie jednak wiedzieć, że Japonki wcale nie są specjalnie seksowne, a jeśli ktoś myśli inaczej to się naoglądał Azjatek z Holiłudu, wymieszanych ze szlachetną europejską krwią. Jeśli ktoś swoją opinię na temat seksownych Azjatek czerpie z Czarodziejki z Księżyca to oficjalnie informujemy, że powinien się leczyć.

Swoją drogą niedawno dowiedzieliśmy się, że dwie spośród czarodziejek były lesbijkami i – choć po cichu już od piątego roku życia coś nam w tej relacji nie grało – było to dla nas naprawdę wielką traumą. Ale to, jak i szykowany przez nas pozew przeciwko Polsatowi, to już tak poza katechezą.

Przyznacie sami, że w tej relacji zawsze coś widzowi "nie grało"!

Japonia to także kraj wykwintnych potraw. Wprawdzie nie serwują tam na tak wielką skalę pizzy i kebabów, a ponieważ jesteśmy warszawską śmietanką i TVN zatrudnia nas w przynajmniej trzech ze swoich pięciu seriali przejadło nam się sushi, to jednak i tak warto pokusić się o skosztowanie takich specjałów jak sake i wódka na ryżu (no chyba was pogrzało, jeśli naprawdę myśleliście, że będziemy się tu rozpisywać o kuchni azjatyckiej). Porządnie najebani z przyjemnością weźmiemy udział w jakimś japońskim teleturnieju, aczkolwiek na pewno nie jednym z tych, w których nagrodą jest wąchanie tyłka swojego kolegi. To mogłoby zaburzyć nasze wzajemne relacje, a to z kolei okazałoby się wielkim ciosem dla geniuszu płynącego z tego bloga.

Przez krótki czas zastanawialiśmy się nad Chinami, bo choć tamtejszy ustrój nie jest naszym ulubionym, to jednak Mao jakiśtam (czy ktośtam inny, w szkole przykładaliśmy się głównie do geografii, mniej do wosu) przynajmniej nie wydaje dyrektyw na temat kształtu mydła w kostce czy zapachu paprykarzu w puszce (nie jesteśmy pewni czy słowo “zapach” nie jest w tym wypadku pewnego rodzaju nadużyciem). Poza tym tam wielki wódz też jest mały, zakompleksiony i złośliwy, a przecież ruszamy w poszukiwaniu – także – orientu i egzotyki.

I jak to się ma do dobrego, staropolskiego kebabu?

Nie chcielibyśmy żebyście odebrali naszą notkę na temat wyprawy do Azji jako motywowaną jedynie dobrym jedzeniem, dobrym alkoholem i ładnymi laskami, choć niestety troszkę tak właśnie jest. Tak samo, jak prawdą jest, że tych z Unii naprawdę popierdoliło i zajmują się takimi bzdurami, na jakie nie wpadłyby najbardziej światłe umysły polskiego parlamentu. To trochę smutna i prorocza zarazem notka, pamiętajcie o tym, lokując kapitał w nieruchomości.

Kebab & Jim Beam BBQ

• kebab -lihaa
• Jim Beam BBQ -kastiketta
• tsatsikia
• salaattia, sipulia
• cheddarjuustoa
• burgeripullaa

Kebab lihaa siellä ja täällä! Onhan se niin, että jauhettua lihaa sopii tunkea jos mihinkin ruokalajiin ja näin käy myös Kauhukeittiön virallisessa Kebab -lihatestissä. Laiskuuksissani ja viikon sairastelun jälkeen oikaisimme ja sorruimme burgeriin. Tarkoitus oli pyöräyttää omatekoinen pitakebab, mutta jätetään asia vielä ideatasolle.

Rouheita lastuja kebablihaa pannulle ja värit pintaan. Hieman öljyä burgereille ja pannulla lämpimäksi. Kasaillaan mieltymysten mukaan ja ääntä kohden. Kesäisistä BBQ -kastiketestauksista jäljelle jäänyt Jim Beamin BBQ Original pieksee varmasti monet kebab -kastikkeet ja toimii erinomaisesti burgerin välissä. Tsatsikista hieman raikkautta muiden savuaromien keskelle. Sopivaa darrapäivän perusmättöä, vähän kuin burgeripyttipannua – toimii. Pirulaisia voisi maun puolesta antaa enemmänkin, mutta helppous ja tylsyys rokottavat kokonaisuutta.

Suspected cannibals killed a young man, ate parts of him and then sold other bits to a kebab shop.
Cops also believe the 25-year-old victim’s body parts may have been used to fill pies too.

The trio of homeless guys were arrested in Russia – accused of murdering the man with knives and a hammer.
Prosecutors revealed: “After carrying out the crime, the corpse was divided up – part of it was eaten and part of it was sold to a kiosk selling kebabs and pies.”
Suspicions were raised when dismembered parts of a human body were found near a bus stop in the outskirts of the Russian city of Perm – which is 720 miles east of Moscow.

The three men all have criminal records, said Russian cops.
They have been arrested on suspicion of killing their victim – who has not been named – before chopping up his corpse to eat.

Detectives for the Prem region released the astonishing statement that the human remains could have been used for kebabs and pies on their www.susk.perm.ru website.
But police said it was not clear yet if any of the human meat had been sold to customers.

”Efter det att brottet genomförts, styckades kroppen och delar av den användes som föda, medan andra såldes till ett matstånd som serverade kebab och köttbitar” uppgav polisen i ett uttalande.”

Antakaa meille meidän darrapäivän kebab! Muistithan muuten ennen viikonlopun kemustuksia väsätä jääkaapin täyteen kebabia? Hyvä! Täähän on melkein, kuin tortillawrappejä laittais. Oon itse rullakebabfani ja eri variaatioita löytyy nettiresepteistä moniakin. Eipä muuten itelle tullut mieleen tehdä tätä tortillawrapista, saati pitsataikinasta, jota oli tämän blogin innoittamana pakko apinoida.

Tee tarvittaessa pieni pala pitsataikinaa, josta leivinpaperille ohuen ohut pohja. Uuniin tehoja niin paljon, kuin irtoaa – meillä tulee kierrosrajotin vastaan klo 275. Pohja uuniin muutamiksi minuuteiksi ettei kovetu. Haa – ilmareikiä? Haarukalla? Pohja oli, kuin ilmapallo, mutta onnistui – en olis uskonut. Nakkaa keskelle koko pohjan leveydelle tsatsikia, kasaa keskelle salaattia ja päälle lihaa. Hieman lisää sitä lihaa! Päälle vielä kebab -kastiketta ja koko komeus rullalle. Kastiketta saa roiskia reippaasti – ainakin itse pidän pitaleivästä, joka lilluu kastikeessa (rasvassa). Pakko vaan todeta, että hemmetin onnistunut. Pitsapohjaan ja kastikkeisiin riittävästi makua ja potkua.

Ensikosketus kebabien maailmaan tuli about 13 vuotta sitten. Joku saattaa muistaa Vorssan suunnalla, Kauppakadulla Marmaris -nimisen kebabmestan. Legendaarinen! Riisikebabia lähti pihalle hintaa 20 markkaa. Se yks lyhyt kaveri sai ansaitusti lempinimen Pikkumies ja ajottain meno oli aamuöisin aika railakasta. Nostalgiaa ajoilta “kaikki oli toisin” tai sitten vain aika kultaa muistot…

Jos et vielä ole koeponnistanut tätä riisiä, tee se nyt. Kebabit on valmiina lastuina odottelemassa, että heität ne pannulle. Salaatti kastikkeineen odottaa lähtökäskyä. Tarvitaan vielä hieman kebab -kastiketta ja tässä yksi vaihtoehto:

• 2-3 valkosipulinkynttä
• 1 sipuli
• öljyä 2-3 rkl tai loraus – fiiliksen mukaan
• 1 rkl omenaviinietikkaa
• 1 rkl tomaattipyrettä
• 1 tl mustapippuria
• 1 tl basilikaa
• 1 tl oreganoa
• Tabasco (Garlic) mieltymysten mukaan
• suolaa ja sokeria maun mukaan

Kuullota hienonnetut sipulit tilkassa öljyä, lisää tomaattihässäkkä ja loput ainesosat. Anna pöristä hiljaksiin 20-30 min, anna hieman jäähtyä ja mausta lopuksi suolalla, sokerilla ja Tabascolla. Aja tasaiseksi tehiksessä. Kebab -kastikkeita löytyy varmasti yhtä monta, kuin kokkejan, tässä yksi niistä. Kastike oli hyvä, mutta siitä puuttuu jotain…

Riisiä alle, lihaa päälle (reippaasti lihaa). Salaatit kylkeen ja päälle kastikkeita mieltymysten mukaan. Ylittää odotukset ja jättää vielä varaa tasonostoille. Kaipaa ehkäpä jotain raikasta ja tulista rinnalle. Anyway, yhdessä jääkylmän Colan kanssa pelastaa varmasti darrapäivän, jos toisenkin. Mättöö ja futista – kiitos!

Darrapäivän pelastaja – Herr Kebab

• 800g naudan jauhelihaa
• 35g aromisuolaa
• 15g mustapippuria (HOT)
• ½ tl Worchestershire -kastiketta
• 1/4 tl nestemäistä savua
• Grolsch: 4-pack
• Danzig: I – IV

Taitanee olla jo muutaman vuoden tauko, kun viimeksi on kotitekoista kebabia laittanut. Onkin siis korkea aika lämmitellä aihe uudelleen ja kokeilla hieman eri variaatioita perinteisestä Iskender -versiosta. Ei muuta, kuin Grolschi kokille ja pimeän puolen Elvistä koneeseen. Danzigin alkupään tuotannossa on sen verran voimaa, että sopii erinomaisesti äijämäiseen aiheeseen – Do you wanna bang heads with me?

Liha kulhoon ja mausteet perässä. Tuolla määrällä valmis kebab maistuu… mustapippurille! Juuri samainen muistikuva oli aikaisemmista päräytyksistä, että tuo määrä puskee läpi liian dominoivasti. Suosittelen heittämään hieman alle. Lisäksi mukaan voisi heittää esim. paprikaa tai chiliä. Aja massa sekaisin koneella ja jatka nyrkkipelillä. Mitä tasaisempi massa, sen parempi. Kun jööti on saanut tarpeeksi pataan, muotoile sopivan paksu pötkylä folion päälle. Nyt kannattaa hieroa, että lötkö on sopivan tasainen. Kääri mahdollisimman tiukkaan foliota kaverin ympäri. Foliopötkö vuokaan tai pellille ja uuniin. Paistetaan 100 asteessa nelisen tuntia, kuunnellaan Danzigin sulosointuja ja juodaan loistavaa olutta. Anna jäähtyä ja vetäytyä – mieluusti seuraavaan päivään. Sivalla pitkittäis suunnassa ohuita, pitkiä lastuja ja pyöräytä lastut paistinpannulla tilkassa öljyä ja tarjoile esim. riisin tai pitan kera.

Muistelin, että liha jonkin verran kuivahtaa tuossa pitkässä polttoajassa. Pitänee kokeilla seuraava hieman lyhyemmällä ajalla. Myäs lihan rasvaisuudella saattaapi olla merkitystä. Tosin jo perus 10% liha puskee mehut pihalle. Pitää kuitenkin todeta, että helpolla tulee käyttökelpoista kamaa. Varsinkin, jos viitsii pyöräyttää lastut pannulla, hakee hieman väriä ja öljyä pintaan. Ehkäpä ens kesälle saadaan aikaiseksi seuraavan lainen setti:

Talk about a healthy diet, I’ve not managed to eat anything today, I know I should really eat something and that something should at least be healthy.

I’m not sure a kebab comes into that category but that’s exactly what I had when I woke up at 8:15pm

I feel strangly normal tonight as if I am on the planet the bad thing about that is I can feel the pain in my muscles.

My son who is 8 years old has really been missing me In the last few weeks, so he has really got into Lego in a big way and spends hours with it and tonight he has been making a police station.

If there is one thing about this illness is how it affects others close to you I cam visibly see the change. And it isn’t good

Después de haberos abandonado durante una larga semana vuelvo para compensar todas esas quejas que han llegado a mi buzón de voz y a mi correo electrónico. Para aquellos que se pensaban que había desaparecido he de confesar que había sido abducida por una feria de fruta y verdura en IFEMA, Fruit Fusion pero por suerte he logrado sobrevivir. Para compensar el agotamiento de escasas horas de sueño mi amiga inés me invitó el sábado a su casa para mimarnos antes de acudir al Chivas Estudio aquella noche. Mascarillas hidratantes, contorno de ojos, el milagroso quitaojeras/bolsas de Garnier. Manicura y un Cola Cao a las 3 de la tarde como desayuno prometían una velada mas que reparadora, porque reconozcamoslo ¿a quien no le encanta un plan de chicas y mimos un sábado frío después de una larga semana de trabajo?

Cuando acabamos nuestro “morning spa” decidimos preparar algo de comer antes de meternos bajo las mantitas en el sofá para ver una peli como manda la tradición un buen sábado. Despúes de una semana a base de uvas encurtidas en sal, brotes de espárragos, o aceite de perejil (y creo recordar que precisamente en ese orden) mi estómago reclamaba algo caliente que le recordase lo que significaba comer en condiciones. La respuesta a mis plegarias llego en forma de kebab calentito con ese característico olor a curry que hacia que mi boca salivase mucho antes de catar el primer bocado. Para que veáis lo rápido y sencillo que puede ser el preparar algo de comida exótica en casa y quien sabe tal vez os animéis el próximo sábado a un plan reparador como este aquí os dejo la receta.

November 2008. I was going to Sweden for a few days. And decided I needed a photographic theme for the trip.

Landed on taking a photo of everything I ate whilst away.

The result came to this.

A meal at the Swedish hamburger chain; Max. Best one in the world

Typical nice Swedish breakfast

Swedish fika. Coffee and some cake.

Swedish pizza, gluten free. At Sorello's in Älmhult

Pre-taste of Swedish christmas food. At mom's place.

Kebab - Swedish style. From Marinas Kebab, Karlshamn

Danish pölse. Delicious hot dogs at Kastrup Airport

Some people have taken the mick out of me a lot for this. Some people appreciate it or at least find it funny. And I’ve kept doing it, whenever a plate with good food is presented for me, it deserves a picture. Because you know, a picture lasts longer.

So this is my way of sharing my food experiences with anyone out there who’s interested.

Bon Appetit
