Medievalist specializing in the Nordic Middle Ages, crazy about books, Japan, anime, languages and fermented food.
This year, I want to eat more legumes. So let's start with puttanesca butter beans, slightly modified according to Vegan Richa. What a sauce, deep flavors and so creamy. More of this, please. #plantbased #vegan #beans #veganricha

Has it really been that long? But no matter what lies ahead, Gintama will remain the undisputed number one.
Your local young millennial retro anime historian here to remind you that the following anime will be turning 20 this year and, as such, will now count as retro anime.

What a flavor explosion! Kakife, a water kefir with persimmon, fennel, cinnamon, and star anise. I never would have thought that fennel and star anise would go so well in a drink. Recipe from #weltdermikroben and replaced the mandarin juice with lemon juice. #persimmons #weltdermikroben #waterkefir

Tomorrow we'll be having Christmas cookies at the office, so quickly made some Christmas origami decorations. All videos from YouTube (Santa Claus: #origamiprincess - stockings/boots: #aliveorigami - reindeer: #easychristmasorigami - trees from #happypuppytruffles). #christmas #decorations #origami

I love mung beans! So what could be more obvious than making mung bean miso to finally use up my last koji rice? It's a pure experiment, as I've never done this before. Since mung beans cook quickly, this is a recipe for beginners. We'll know how it tastes in 3 months. #miso #mungbeans #fermentation

I'm standing in the kitchen taking care of my condiments for the next couple of weeks. This time, it's garlic in miso. Peel the garlic and put it in miso. Make sure it is covered with miso on all sides. Recipe from #fairment. #miso #garlic #fermentation

My inner monk just celebrated: another manga/anime title for my list of references to Norse mythology in Japanese popular culture: Tougen Anki - Ragnarok is mentioned, as is so often the case in other titles. #tougenanki #ragnarok #norsemythology #manga #anime

Still on a fermentation high. Here you can see liquid gold, which will be ready to use in about 4 weeks. Garlic honey. The garlic will be nice and soft and caramelized; use it as regular and honey instead of sugar. And sometimes I like to snack on a clove of garlic. #fermentation #garlic #honey

Finally checked something off my bucket list: the old Berlin city wall from the Middle Ages. There is still a free-standing section from the 13th century on Littenstraße, and remnants of the wall can be found built into houses all around. But not much more than 120 meters seems to have survived.

Here is another koji experiment. Since I still had some koji rice and it was approaching its best-before date, I quickly made some green lentil miso. Now I have to wait six months before I know how it tastes. #koji #lentils #miso

Here is my latest kitchen experiment: I had some spelt koji left , so I simply mixed itwith a little salt and onions. After looking at the photo, I will definitely pack everything even more tightly. Wait for ten days and see how it turns out. #koji #spelt #onions

Origami Pikachu, requested by little Lina. It bears some resemblance to Yoda and, in terms of color, to Winnie the Pooh. The instructions are from #happpuppytruffles (YouTube). #origami #pokemon #pikachu

I finally got to visit the Mori Ōgai Memorial in Berlin, Luisenstraße. Unfortunately, it was closed and the weather was terrible, but I still managed to take a photo. As a big Bungou Stray Dogs fan, he is more than familiar to me. #berlin #moriougai #bungoustraydogs

I needed something to read on my commute, and even though I'm not that far into the Tokyo Revengers story yet, I picked up volume 13 and was excited to see “Ragnarok” mentioned in it. I always enjoy seeing Nordic elements in manga and anime.

Es liegt weiter ein Kompromissangebot der demokratischen Parteien vor. Macht die Zusammenarbeit von Konservativen & Rechtsextremen öffentlich – mit genug Druck können wir sie vielleicht noch stoppen. Schreibt Manfred Weber hier direkt eine E-Mail: greens.eu/dear-manfred
Don't do it, Manfred!
Send him an email now and tell him to not give in to the far right.

Im EU-Parlament droht gerade die Brandmauer zu fallen! Erneut! Die christdemokratische EVP will mit den Rechtsextremen gemeinsam für einen Frontalangriff auf Menschenrechts- und Umweltstandards der EU-Lieferkettenrichtlinie stimmen. Abgestimmt wird morgen. Helft Druck zu machen!

Ordningen med Norgeskunnskap i utlandet har i mange år vært en viktig brobygger mellom Norge og mange andre land. Jeg har selv vært student og deretter underviser ved et lærested som fikk ta del i dette tilbudet. Støtt en god sak slik at ordningen ikke fjernes.

It's the last day of my vacation, and since things are going to get busier at work soon, I'm trying to take it easy today.
