This week we (or rather, Peter) have been learning how to cook using the sous vide method. A lot of good food has resulted! And also some other shopping ... Happy Friday!

Cooking with sous vide
Peter has long been keen to cook using the sous vide method. Earlier this week, his enthusiasm grew in proportion and he spent days (and nights!) watching sous vide films on YouTube. Where did it all end? By buying new equipment for the kitchen, of course. It was a vacuum packer and a sous vide machine (actually: circulator).
One of the advantages of sous vide is that the food becomes juicier and more tender. "I (Helena) am not really interested in the technical details, but I like to taste! And I can say that the meat we have cooked so far - beef and game - has been very tasty and tender!
Peter has also cooked poached eggs in the machine. Oh yes, so good! One morning it was buttered bread with avocado, tomato and poached egg for breakfast. I can happily repeat that luxury on occasion!
New shelves
Another thing we got this week is some extra shelves for me (Helena). I work more and more from home, but having your office at the kitchen table has its challenges. You can't exactly sprinkle gadgets around, because soon you have to clean up for a sous vide dinner ...
But now I have three shelves that Peter put on the wall for me. Here I can keep pads, pens, hard drives, brochures and other things. Absolutely perfect!
Friday shopping
There has been a lot of shopping this week. First the sous vide equipment, then the shelves and now ... clothes! I (Helena) got gift cards for clothes from my job both last Christmas (which I haven't used yet) and this Christmas. Together it becomes a not entirely inconsiderable sum. So today we will shop!
Best this week
It feels like we are living in a slightly strange time now (again) and several planned activities have been cancelled for us. It is of course sad, but if you try to look at it from the positive side, we have to say that we got quite a lot of work done this week.
We also had time to visit three very nice museums: Nordic Museum, Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde and ... a museum that we'll tell you about on Sunday! Now it's your turn - what has been the best part of your week?
The week ahead
We remain at home in Stockholm. What else in these times? We are updating some things on freedomtravel.se, which we will hopefully be able to tell you about soon. Maybe we'll also have time for some more museum visits?

It is a machine that is on the husband's wish list. I just think that everything takes up so much space and you want to have it out there to be used. Do you mean that you can poach eggs in the sous vide? We have had a Vacum machine for several years and it is used extensively.

Yes exactly, you can poach eggs in it. 75 degrees and 12 minutes and they will be perfect 🙂.

Oh chicken is so good in sous vide! One of our children has...
The best part of the week is that we have been given the go-ahead to rebuild the sewing room! It's underway! 😁
Otherwise, it's quiet.
Have a nice weekend! Eat well!

Now that I am replying, a few days later, we have also tried chicken. Sooo good it was! 🙂 Have fun!

What a wonderful last picture. And the pictures of the food - my goodness, I'm so hungry:-) I love poached eggs. You can cook them in the microwave too. Ambitious of Peter with the sous vide "culture". He loves to cook and you love to eat it, so perfect investments;-)

It's handy that you can make poached eggs in the microwave too! (However, we don't have a microwave, we don't have room for it in the kitchen).
