Hi!

Today I quaffed this smoky Finnish Porter:

Prykmestar Savu

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/1.8
Exposure: 1/50 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

I had a hard time drinking it, because before even having the first sip, while I was taking this photo, I got a crazy hiccup and well, I didn't quite enjoy drinking the beer the same time as I had a major session of hiccups.

But um... I have to tell you about our dinner today. Earlier today I went to the shops with Miro, to buy him some ski boots (btw. we call them "mono" [singular] or "monot" [plural] here in Finland) and a present for his classmate's birthday party tomorrow. I had forgotten to take my phone with me so I couldn't call Vera to ask about the status of our fridge, so I decided to buy some pork tenderloin, paprika (sweet bell pepper) and lettuce. I knew we had some garlic, onion, root vegetables and potatoes at home.

When we got home, Vera and I peeled and cut up the root veggies, onion, garlic and potatoes, and placed them in a casserole pan, sprinkled some oil, black pepper and salt and threw it in the oven. Then I quickly fried the tenderloin shut on a pan with sweet chili sauce, and we placed it on top of the the roots and veggies in the oven. On the still hot pan I also prepared a cream sauce with cream, some left-over creme fraiche, black pepper, salt and ground paprika.

I also made a quick salad by ripping the lettuce, dicing a couple of tomatos, half a paprika and an avocado into cubes, and adding some pumpkin seeds to the mix. (Forgot to make a sauce though.)

After the roots, veggies and meat had been in the oven for an hour, we finally got to eat. Too bad we were so hungry we couldn't even think about photographing the meal. After I had had seconds it finally hit me, that I could've made some nice shots there. But it was already too late. I had to shoot a beer again.

But it was good. Even the salad tasted excellent, while a proper sauce might have made it even better. I bet that if we make this same meal again, I will prepare the camera beforehand.

Anyway, I hope you liked this post, and didn't get too hungry reading it.
