Been missing American pastrami (made with beef - it's usually pork or poultry in Europe), so I got brisket from a butcher and made my own. Made reubens for dinner, served with the pickles I made the other day.

Fermented pickles in dill, garlic, horseradish, and black pepper. Perfect for summer.

Today's adventures in cooking - lettuce wraps with tofu, a cabbage slaw, and a spicy peanut sauce. Not the prettiest, but the sauce is addictive. Will definitely revisit.

Made a fermented salsa. It was mind blowing. Need to add that to my regular rotation. (Pictured here with fish tacos)

Why are Swedish media suddenly naming Forssell as minister in white supremacism scandal? The Local and several other Swedish news sites have made the decision to name Migration Minister Johan Forssell as the government minister whose close relative has been linked to white supremacist groups. The Local Sweden's editor explains the decision.

“Localhost tracking” explained. It could cost Meta 32 billion. You just can't finish off Zuckerberg.

do not install any app from Facebook or Meta on any device. Ideally avoid installing ANY social media app. Login through a browser.

I highly doubt Facebook is the only company pulling this shit

The photo is of the backs of people sitting in black plastic chairs, like at a conference. The person on the left is only half seen and wears a dark blue polo. The person the image is focused on wears a black hoodie with white writing on the back that reads “#NaaS
No as a Service”

One last post from Japan (I've been slow to get through the photos) - Fushimi Inari. If you've seen photos of any shrine from Kyoto, it's this one, but still - it remains one of my favorite places on this planet, a mesmerizing and otherworldly place.

They are super normal still in Sweden. They even have lightweight "rainsuit" versions that all kids wear when its raining (which is often where I am). I'm jealous of them sometimes. They seem super useful.
