First thing about angst. For me it’s like this, CBT works if I’m afraid a nightmare will come true. It doesn’t work when a nightmare comes true. Second thing about angst. People know I bake a lot. So if I complain that I can not stand the angst, more than one has suggested I should bake something to get my mind on something else. Often, but far from always, I bake with sourdough. That might still be seen as a hipster thing. Perhaps it can be amusing to use high school philosophy knowledge and write the following. I bake sourdough bread when I have angst. Hipsters bake sourdough bread. Therefore being a hipster is a cry for help. Q.E.D. The other day I made homemade Rågknäcke, a knäckebröd/crispbread: 500 g rye sourdoug, 500 g wheat sourdoug, 500 g rye plus salt. Not normal human behavior. Normal human behavior is to cook ramen noodles, not old fashioned crispbread. That's a cry for help. Ok, I hoped it should be amusing. Might not have been.

I basically haven’t been here on DW in quite some time. Haven’t even read your entries. I have been busy but I have also been feeling crappy. So much angst. Perhaps I can pretend you want to read about my cooking anyway. I’m a member of a thing called food2change, they collect food that should otherwise been thrown away from stores and handel out. Last time I got five packages (240 g) of pulled oats. It might be an international product, most products are international, but just in case it isn’t, Pulled oats is a meat imitation made from plant protein from oats, beans and peas. First I made a beef bourguignon inspired stew with two of the packets. But instead of wine I used store bought beef stock with red wine in it. The combination vegetable imitation meat and beef stock might sound, well what to call it? Counterintuitive? If you happen to live in a country with lower alcohol prices you can use red wine instead. (If you happen to live in Bourguignon you can add local Marc to it too, but that stuf is expencive if you live here.)

Then I made a pie with apricots and another packet. Both things turned out good. Then I frosted most of the stew and pie. So I have quite a lot of meals in the fridge. Plus I still have half a kilo of Pulled oats left.

Another product I got from food2change is a seed mix of quinoa, millet, buckwheat and amaranth. I boiled it and mixed it with water, sourdough, flour and salt to get a bread. It’s quite good, I really like the bread.
