Yeah, you're gonna need to post that in the thread, stat, Thesaya.


Alright then!

for eight people;

2 large onions
500g moose mince
500g beef mince
1dl full fat cream
1dl milk
1dl breadcrumbs
3tsp salt
2 eggs
1½tsp sugar
2ml black pepper or (according to google) allspice/pimenta (I'd go with 1½black pepper ½allspice)
1tsp sugar
butter for frying
if you want,
2tblsps mustard (not dijon)
1tsp sugar
butter for frying


Cut onions into tiny pieces and fry until soft and let cool
Mix milk, cream and breadcrumbs and let swell for 10 min
mix mince with eggs, salt, allspice/pepper and sugar and possibly mustard
mix onions with breadcrumbs and add to mince

make a small meatball and fry for a taste test, add spices accordingly.

rinse a cutting board with water (or, preferably, use a wooden one that has soaked in water), have a bowl of water available. dip hands in water and roll meatballs and put them on a board. When I was little, it was our job to roll balls while mum or grandma fried them, otherwise just make enough for a pan and roll continuously while frying. Make sure to keep you hands wet but not enough to make the mince soggy.
Put finished meatballs in a casserole dish or something, once they are nicely coloured, you can put them in the oven for a bit to finish, make sure you pour fluid into it so they stay moist.

Now, in Sweden, Christmas dinner is a smörgåsbord (weirdest loanword you have you guys, it's amusing,) so they were not served with condiments, but if you want them as the classic Swedish meal, you go on to;
pour most of the fluid back into the frying pan and sprinkle flour onto it (or use corn flour or similar). Add cream and mushroom soy sauce and spices to taste. Bring to a boil then take off heat.

Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam.

If you don't want the Christmas version, just exchange the moose for either pork mince (beef/pork mince is a staple of Swedish cooking and is sold mixed in stores,) or more beef, and the allspice for just black pepper.


I used a recipe from the internet to get the measurements, the making of meatballs is from memory, so I apologise if I those instructions are unclear. I remember especially grandma admonishing me for wetting my hands after every meatball and making them soggy...
We usually just used black pepper for ours, but mustard and allspice are both tasty things that adds good taste. You can go with less cream and more milk, I couldn't remember what we used for ours, actually think we might have used just milk, but since I don't have the actual recipe and can't ask grandma or mum I went with the ingredients from the closest thing from my memory I could find.

In response to fat questions... I have no idea, I'm sorry. I have been vegetarian since I was 16 so thinking about fat content in mince is a level of cooking I never reached. I looked at mixed mince being sold but it just said total fat content under 20%. I know even less about moose mince since this was bought only for the Christmas meatballs.
You seem more than capable to figure it out on your own though, I have faith in you!

Supergreatfriend's LP of Deadly Premonition is the one that made me buy my account. I would honestly recommend watching it instead of playing the game since the game itself is not the best mechanically from what I understand. Also, his commentary makes the whole experience even better in my opinion.

I actually hadn't watched Twin Peaks at the time but have since, and Deadly Premonition is pretty much Twin Peaks; the game. I would seriously recommend watching it, it is every bit as weird, occasionally hilarious and great as I'd heard. Although, I still haven't watched the second season, glad to be reminded of that.

Okay, I'm going to be completely honest, I don't remember what I say at most points in the stream. I mean, Nancy + Alcohol + Game = Not going to remember EVERYTHING. Parts, maybe.... probably.... okay possibly, but not everything. Also, once we stream I don't watch what Dave puts up. I hate hearing my own voice on youtube. I get judgmental when I hear my voice because I know how my voice can sound verses how it often DOES sound and that gives me... irritation. Anyway, I hope that clears things up, because no one can trust inebriated Nancy.... we know that she is a crazy cyborg cannibal in a pink dress, who would trust that?!

I get that, but I hope you understand that I am still going to give you poo poo for silly things you might say. :banjo:

I never had the birds and the bees talk. But I did have Sex Ed classes at school.
Oh boy did I have Sex Ed classes.
A comprehensive breakdown of every contraceptive, foam, IUDs, the pill, etc. complete with a teacher awkwardly putting a condom on a cucumber.
Then there was the slide show presentation on STDs. Image after image of diseased genitalia burned into my brain.
But I think the stand out was my Chemistry teacher hooking up a pickled gherkin up to two electrodes turning out the lights and running a current through it and proudly announcing "Gentlemen, this is what an STD looks like".
I think their whole objective was to scare us out of wanting to have sex ever, however they underestimated the need of horny teenagers to get their rocks off.

Weird thing was that they told us masturbation was totally fine but that porn would warp our brains. Which I guess was fair enough.

The standout memory from our sex ed, which was part of our Biology class, was our teacher telling us to remember to always pee after sex to avoid UTI's.
It was pretty chill in general though, I remember that I was a bit meh about there only being a single page about homosexuality in the book, since that was around the time I was starting to think about those things.
I have heard that in other schools it has been much more awkward, (more than from the fact that we were teenagers,) so it obv varies here too though.

Oh, and in Swedish, the phrase "the birds and the bees" is "flowers and bees". I never thought about the fact that the translation isn't literal until now.

Disney from my childhood is so complicated nowadays. It is a mixture of the Swedish dub I grew up with and the English version I heard much later.

I've heard a lot of debate about original language and dubbed versions, but I guess distribution has gotten a lot easier. Do you prefer the Swedish dub?


See, this is something you guys never get to feel. The pride of watching your first subbed Disney film. Mine was Hercules when I was like 11 or 12. To answer your question, the films from my childhood I watch in Swedish, newer ones in English.
In Sweden only children's films gets dubbed btw, everything else is subtitled.

So Hercules was subbed, but only children's films get dubbed.. so there's like a dividing line where some Disney films are for children and others aren't? That's actually kind of interesting if so. I wonder what makes the difference?
.

Oh not not at all! All Disney films get dubbed, but that is for the children. There is always also a subbed version available. But talking of dubs, my step-nieces are watching Frost, not Frozen. It is more about the point you know enough English well enough to watch a subtitled version instead of the dubbed one.

And yeah, putting them in the oven is pretty much to make sure they are properly cooked inside without burning the outside. Oh, and which seasoning did you go with? I think I gave you like four variants of it. But yes, you go ahead and tweak it however you want to, that is how family recipes happen! :keke:

I think this is the second or third time Nancy had reacted to someone telling her I'm female with "Well how should I know!?" Am I really that forgettable? :saddowns:

Oh, and speaking of ladies, I have never heard anyone but Nancy use ladyparts to reference anything else than female genitala. :j:

And meatballs, did you make a small meatball for a taste test before frying all of them like I said? That is to make sure you have enough spices after all. And making round meatballs is not easy, even for Swedes, only my grandmother managed to always get all of them round. It takes experience to perfect them. The two things that creates "pucks" is using too much water on your hands when rolling them and not moving the pan enough. I might not have remembered to tell you that second bit. You have to constantly shake the pan until the meatballs retain their shape. Also important is to not fill it with too many at once, so that they have room to roll around.
AND DO NOT COOK THEM IN THE OVEN FIRST! They will definitely turn out round that way.
The stuff in the pan is just supposed to give you the taste to start with the gravy, you do not need much to start with, I promise.

Oh, and bman is correct. Pets and especially scratches on my head is the best way to rend me immobile, sleepy and happy.

Don't try lutfisk. It is like jelly in consistence and hardly tastes like anything but vagely off. Almost no kids like it, it's an aqcuired taste for adults pretty much. We haven't had it for christmas for years though, noone cared enough to keep it a thing. I used to like the potatoes, peas and sauce though, adding a miniscule piece of lutfisk to it then hiding it in the sauce so I wouldn't know when I ate it.

I do wish that I could join the streams but they usually air at about 3 am my time and my insomnia isn't nice enough to match the days you stream. Like, I have actually been awake at stream time the day after you've streamed and been quite peeved that my brain didn't decide to gently caress with me on a more convenient date.

Edit;
Just started watching the last episode and need to tell you, 50 shades of hosed up has done so much damage to the perception of BDSM. Like for example, main thing about it is trust, a sub trusts their domme to not go to far and to respect their safeword. Also, aftercare, the domme is to make sure their sub is okay after each section. I am not even a member of the BDSM community myself, just like, on the edge, but what those books and films did to the perceptance of the subcultre was... horrid. It is domestic violence masqueraded as BDSM. Oh, and Christian Grey would have been kicked out of any BDSM club immediately with his behaviour.

If insomnia were actually convenient, it would be something like a super power... but perhaps one of these days the stars will align. We'll look forward to the day. Nancy might have some commentary on the 50 Shades so I'll leave that there, but it almost makes me wonder if the same people who were all about Twilight have grown up to be the same people who are all about 50 Shades.


You might not be too surprised to learn that 50 shades started out as Twilight fanfiction.

Edit; I am pretty sure the word Nancy was looking for was flintlock pistol.


Editedit; I honestly did not realise underwater basket weaving wasn't serious before you said so, since it makes perfect sense to me. For woodcarving, I keep the juniper wood in my freezer or fridge because working with fresh wood is much easier. Submerging the wood for basket weaving makes perfect sense to me since it'd keep the material supple.

...the thing about poring ouzo and yelling "opa" is a tourist thing. Just so you know. I sympatise with your server. Saganaki is amazing, but that bit is really not part of it. The Ouzo flambee might be nice and all, but the "opa" bit?...

Maybe an american thing even? I have been to Greece almost every year as a kid, visiting a lot of islands, but this is the first time I have ever heard of this thing.

tbh, I am currently imagining you expecting something like that in a tiny village on a tiny village and sniggering a bit to myself... Sorry but not really.

The pig story reminds me of Robert Pickton, a Canadian serial killer who killed between 26 and 49 women and disposed of them at his pigfarm.

And regarding smoking, I didn't even try until I was 18, but started at like 23 because it helped me with anxiety. Been thinking about getting a vape instead though, since it is more about having something to do when walking and having an excuse for breaks from social situations than actual physical addiction.

Well, in my parent's flower shop, we did not allow smokers to take any extra breaks. It actually led to several of our girls quitting smoking because of it.

Yeah, I pretty much grew up in it. Was my dad's parents' before they bought it from them. It was super hard work though, long hours and heavy lifting behind the scenes. At Christmas my mum's parents came to stay with us and took care of my brother and me because mum and dad worked between like 6 and 23 every day if not more.

Oh, regarding walking into poles, when I was little I used to read while I walked. At one time, I managed to walk into almost every lamp post on a street, hardly reacting. My mum, who was waiting for me to catch up to her, laughed so hard she could hardly breathe and I was still so engrossed with my book that I didn't even understand what was so funny.
I have perfected the art of reading while I walk now though, without walking into things, even if it isn't I do very often nowadays.

I've actually read so thoroughly into a book that I missed my bus stop on a school bus. And run into a pole groin first, only to keep on going because the situation was so urgent. Neither of those things happen now, but they were definitely marks on the wall.

Oh, I still miss bus stops because of reading. Luckily, where I live now, the next stop is 5 min from my flat instead of 30 sec so it isn't too bad. Back when I lived at school it meant a 2 hour detour when it happened though.

Rabbits do eat their poop, but not the pellets you see. Their appendix still has a job and produces another kind filled with vitamin b and nutrients and stuff that they eat. It is softer and shaped differently.

I have, through my hobby of researching serial killers and murderers in general, found out what the "modern" minutemen are;
