Last week I made some organic rhubarb lemonade from scratch, and it actually turned out pretty damn good. So off course I twittered about it. And got approached to publish the recipe by @EthEonel a few minutes later.

And here it is, the recipe straight from the source.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg fresh rhubarb (preferably from your own organic garden)
• 3 organic lemons (preferably from your organic citrus farm in italy or morrocco, but the supermarket is also ok)
• 400 g organic cane sugar (because it tastes more than refined sugar, and is better for you)
• 2,5 l water

How you do it:

It`s all very simple, you chop the rhubarb and lemons in small pieces, throw them in a saucepan with the 2,5 l water and approx half of the sugar. Stir the pot and let it boil for at least 10 minutes. Then put the saucepan to the side and just let it sit there for another 15 minutes and cool down. Doing so will pretty much dissolve the lemons and rhubarb.

Then you pour it through a strainer (or some kind of cloth) so you can separate the mushy fruit substance and the pure juice.

If you use the cloth method (like I did, since I don`t have fine strainer), squeeze the cloth for last piece of juice before you throw away the mushy substance.

And then you cook the remaining juice for a bit more, while stirring. The point of boiling it a bit more is to get the lemonade concentrated a bit more, and also to have the opportunity to taste how much more sugar you need. Perhaps you need the remaining 200 g, perhaps you only need 100 g, or perhaps even more sugar is your thing.

After cooking this for another 20 minutes, I got 3 l of pure lemonade that mixes with water at a ratio of 1/2 pretty nice (1 part lemonade, 2 part water).

Have fun!

Yesterday I attended a baptism in the church, it was the first time in a church for a very long time for me and a very similar experience I had a year back when I watched a soccer (or just football, happy now Erik?) match, let me explain.

1. The first 10-15 minutes everything was new, exotic and kind of interesting to me.
   The people, the sounds, the cheering, the anticipating crowd. And not to mention the (to me) strange rituals taking place, it kept me entertained for about 10-15 minutes.

2. But my attention span is`nt all that great, so after that first stage of initial excitement, my mind wandered.. thinking about everything but what was going on. I was thinking about switching a pump in my boat, that my cat needs to get an appointment at the vet for vacine, that I need to send a new invoice to a client and that I really wanted to listen to Iggy Pop really loud. I guess this condition lasted for about 20 minutes.
3. And suddenly, while I`m wandering peacefully in my mind… all the people stand up, cheering something I can`t really understand… really loud, and a bit frightening I must admit. It`s almost like everybody has a script with what they should shout – except me. And just when I also try to stand up and imitate some of the people next to me, everybody sits down and acts normal again. 
   

As some of you know, I still don`t have a licence to drive. But I still love car design, and especially old cars where designers could be a little creative and actually produce vehicles that make people smile. I found this little “Messerschmitt” from 1956 on finn.no earlier today.

Just surfed by this young artists website via #fffound and I was really blown away by the intensity of his paintings. They are all somewhat abstract, and I guess then it is kind of a rorschach test what you see. But I see explosions – big, violent and beautiful explosions! Check him out here, and Tank Theory even made t-shirts of some of his graphics. (I`ve ordered mine).
