Bulgur salad



So this week I decided to make a bulgur salad! I've never really liked bulgur very much, but this salad made me completely change my mind! It's a very easy salad to make, it doesn't take much time to do and the only thing you need to cook is the bulgur. And another great thing about this salad is that you can put your favorite vegetables in it. And even if there's a vegetable you don't really like you can't really taste it if it’s in the salad, well that's at least what I think! For example, I don't like peas, but I don't feel the taste of them when they're in the salad. This salad is served with a homemade mustard dressing.
This recipe makes a big salad (about 6-8 servings), so you can eat lovely leftovers the next day.
I couldn't find a photo of this recipe's bulgur salad,
but here's one very similar bulgur salad.
All that's different is that I had baby spinach and tofu in it,
but no lettuce or broccoli.
As you hopefully can tell- you can vary the recipes a lot!
This is what you will need:
3dl (1.2 cup) uncooked bulgur (if you really dislike bulgur, use pasta and make it a pasta salad instead)
1 container with corn
3-4 lettuce leaves
1 bell pepper
1/2 container olives
Around 10 cocktail tomatoes
1/2 cucumber
1 can kidney beans
6-8 sun dried tomatoes
2 1/2dl (1 cup) peas
2 1/2 (1 cup) cup broccoli (
cooked) 1 red onion 
For the mustard dressing:
3/4dl (0.3 cup)oil (perhaps olive oil)
1/4dl vinegar
2 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp sugar
A pinch salt and pepper if you want
Alrighty then, let’s get started! Cook the bulgur recording to the instructions on the back of the package. Meanwhile, you can wash the cocktail tomatoes and cut them in halves. Wash and rinse the cucumber and dice it. Put the cocktail tomatoes and the diced cucumber into a big bowl.
Depending on how fast you work, the bulgur might be done by now.Take the bulgur off the heat and steer in it with a ladle to help it cool down.
Now take the sundried tomatoes and cut them into a size of your choice and put them in the bowl. Mince the red onion, chop the bell pepper, roughly chop the lettuce and put it in the bowl together with the peas, the corn, the olives and the beans (I like to rinse them in a colander first). Add the bulgur to the bowl and mix it with the other ingredients. Put the bowl with your salad in your refrigerator and wait for it to cool down.
While you wait for your salad to cool down, it’s time to make the dressing! Put the mustard, the oil and the vinegar in a small bowl and stir with a spoon. Add the water and the sugar to the mix and mix thoroughly. Taste and see if you want to add some salt and pepper, I usually don’t add salt and pepper but you might want to.

When the salad is cool it’s just to serve with some dressing. Enjoy!

Planescape: Torment Review


Planescape: Torment is a CRPG developed by Black Isle Studios and is known as the best RPG game they've created. This game takes place in the multivese of Planescape and uses a modified version of the Infinity Engine.

The story of Planescape starts with you waking up inside a mortuary without knowing who you are or why you're there. Known only as The Nameless One, you'll have to explore this strange world you've woken up in and find out many interesting things on the way. As you unravel new things you'll eventually find what main adventure is all about.

Planescape has quite bad game play, with strange character collision and  it can take a while to target enemies.
The thing that makes this game shine is it's dialogue and the way you can affect things in the world of Planescape with each decision you make.
If you're not a fan of reading, this game is not for you, since there is not much voice acting and over 50% of the game time will probably be spent just talking to NPCs. With each character being unique and every NPCs having something interesting to say, talking and making different decisions what to say is much more enjoyable than the combat itself. The combat does not necessarily have to be in the way, since is it acceptable if you've gotten some bugs patched and in many cases you can even talk your way out of battle, depending on your in game intelligence and the decisions you've made.

The graphics of this game are pretty good for its time, but because it's made for older versions of Windows, the HD patch and some bug patches are required for playing on a modern PC, other than that there's not really any problems with the game.

As it's made in the Infinity Engine, Baldur's gate fans would probably like this game, but any RPG fan in general should check this game out.

THE WHOLE COUNTY IS COVERED BY SNOW

It have been snowing a lot in the county the last day. The whole county is now completely covered in snow.

Mostly of the snow have been coming in the Swedish mountains, according to SMHI.
Hemavan have measured it up to 61 centimeters of new snow the last 24 hours.
The station in Gunnarn has measured it up to five centimeters and the station in Kasa has measured it up to three centimeters.

More snow is suspected during the Monday, but the white happiness might not be here for long. Several plus degrees are suspected to come at Tuesday.

This week's bodypart


 So this week's bodypart is the ear.

Since we're now talking about horses ears (if it wasn't obvious) I thought that I would tell you some things about the their ears. To begin with, they have 16 muscles in each ear which gives them the privilege to be able to rotate them 180 degrees. This leaves the horse with excellent sound perception an they are great at localising where specific sounds comes from. 
A horse cannot separate specific words but can often learn to understand what you mean just by listening to the tone of your voice and you could also learn them to separate some different commands, just like you can do with a dog.

The horses hear much better then humans, we for example can perceive a frequency of about 20 000 hertz whilst horses perceive about 25 000 hertz. This quality is a remnant from the time the horses lived in the wild and constantly had to be on watch after predators. This means that horses are easily startled by sudden sounds. But that's just something you'll have to live with when you are around horses.
