Eating & Food
Wild Swedish berries!
Last night John returned from a trip to Sweden and had a rather peculiar package in his bag for me – from his mum. It was rather soft and squishy and very light and wrapped in tin foil. I opened it carefully, not quite sure what to expect and shrieked with delight when I found … Continue reading
4-Hour Body
For the past two weeks I’ve been following Timothy Ferris’ 4-Hour Body diet. I’m not going to bore you with the details (read the book – seriously!), but basically, for six days you follow this diet that is high in protein (30grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up), no white carbs – he’s … Continue reading

Sushi Shame
I think it’s fair to say that I have had my fair share of sushi in this great city. You can have sashimi and rolls, deepfried to live and everything inbetween and it’s usually available at a corner near you (or maximum 15 minutes away, courtesy of the local delivery man). I have never had … Continue reading
