@tanjaostman we never spend much time in Turku. We have always felt that it feels a little more Russian there. It is only the place where the ship pulls in. So we just drive through on our way to Kustavi and spend time there. it is about 90 minutes away from Turku. Have you been there? My wife's aunt and uncle are both doctors in Kustavi, so we go there and spend time with them and then head out from Kustavi to the archipelago.

@tanjaostman PS. my favorite is watching my wife pronounce loimulohi! her mouth does things that mine refuses to do. i C-A-N-N-O-T say that word to save my life.

@tanjaostman we often stay at a small remote Island that my wife's family owns in the archipelago. Every year we take the Silja Line to Turku and drive to Kustavi and take a personal boat to the island. In Kustavi they sell the loimulohi - made on a grill like the picture below. My favorite is when they crumble blue cheese on it! we often get about 5 or 6 of them and take them to the island with us and live for about a week with no electricity, no people, no computers - just sauna, swimming, reading, and loimulohi!!! 🤣

@bethany it's minna. ALL minna. in my early 20s i only really ate pizza, burgers, donuts, macaroni and cheese, etc. food got in my way for the most part. i didn't REALLY enjoy anything. then one day i accidentally ate a piece of minna's "medium rare" steak at Ruth's Steak House (yes, there's a difference). i say accidentally, because i hated the idea - i ONLY liked well done. i immediately fell in love! I also HATED salmon. hated the smell of any fish cooking. but in my late 20s, minna tricked me into eating grilled salmon in Finland called Loimulohi - and OMG - its all I wanted to eat for a month straight. Then every xmas, she had me eat raw salmon with mustard sauce - now it's my fave. my taste buds went through a radical transformation in my 30s and i fell in love with food. i also fell in love with cooking. now in my 40s, rich flavored food and deep dark wine are two things that paint my world happy.

@bethany WHAT? some of my favorite foods have mold! - Shropshire cheese - from your part of the world - being one of them. An amazing piece of shropshire with a pinch of apricot preserve on top, wrapped with a fatty piece of Prosciutto, immediately washed down with a super tuscan? heaven!

@tymektt ....seriously THESE are the best I've ever had. they are super soft, perfectly flavored, and just the right amount of dry mold on top. I bought them here in Dubai and I'm in LOVE

I would rather be in a remote mountain village, but if you have to be in an urban jungle, this is a rather nice place to suffer.

On our latest podcast, I interview the only man who predicted the COVID-19 Virus coming from Wuhan a year before it happened! Cyrus Parsa, Founder & CEO of The AI Organization sent intel reports to the US government about the potential bio threat coming from China.
Now he joins our podcast to share about the threat of the GREAT RESET.

@bethany I don't use hearts to often, but when I do....it is for times like this.

@bethany ❤️

@bethany I miss the people.

@tymektt I have been around the world, and I say this as a proud American, few continents have the wide spread beauty as Europe. Certain nations admittedly have amazing landscapes (fields, oceans, beaches, mountains, floral valleys) but they are encapsulated, limited, held in place by unseen borders - they do not have the breadth that just continues on and on and on as it does through all of Europe. A drive through fjords of Norway, Islands of Hebrides, beaches of Nice, vineyards of Sienna, Mountains of Tyrol, hamlets of Czech, waterfalls of Croatia, islands of Greece, to the rolling fields of Poland - it is all somehow ....unfair.

@zephan We had that kind of stove top for 10 years when we lived on Lamma Island in Hong Kong. Brings back a lot of memories.

@bethany 😮 sounds about right. I love visiting England, but whenever I eat British food, I can somehow taste the rainy, cloudy, gloomy weather.

@tymektt Windows 95 worked well for me, Windows 98 worked best, THEN came the disaster of Windows ME, after which I switched to Lenix. Then to Windows XP - then to Apple.
Apple has been BY FAR the best OS i have ever used for computer.
