Yeah, I was guessing that too. It's an usual symptom among creative people too. There's also an enormous  amount of good and not so good advice about getting rid of creativity blocks in several books, blogs, aforisms, improvisation classes and so on... And I will add one up here in my blog since I've never seen one of this kind before. Just wait! You'll be amazed by the sheer simplicity!

The Lore Of Spices

The Lore Of Spices: Their History And Uses Around The World by Jan Öjvind Swahn


This book presents around thirty known spices, their backround, folklore and tradition around them, usage and a few recipes. For some reason I think I will get back to this book often, and not the least beacause of its vivid illustration.
The Author is Jan Öjvind Swahn, person who has dedicated his time and knowledge for folklore research, especially food and food traditions. I think soon I might find more of his books at my shelves. This Book is something I've been looking for quite a time since I've for long had a dream to slowly develop myself a relevant knowledge about local spices and ingredients to farm and use in kitchen. And there it was! A perfect piece of folk knowledge just when I was on the mood to once really buy something. Today I set my I on it accidentally when I was strolling around Jyväskylä. It was a gray rainy day so I for once glanced at something else but the sky.

Kuva puhukoon puolestaan. Kesä on viimein täällä ja vihreä on päivän sana. Vihreä. Luonnosta.

On kuin se ei olisikaan ollut poissa:

Omenaa

Cassuja

Kurpitsansiemeniä 

Kurkkua

Salaatinlehtiä

Sitruunamehua

Koivun ja voikukan lehdet maistuvat siltä kun pääsisi nauttimaan kesästä sisäisesti.

Before speeding up the studies it might be the time to release parts of it as a motivator for all of us who still have to complete something before Christmas. And far more important, as a preparation for the New Year which always works as a good kick of for better habits
