I love Arctic Char

June 26th, 2009

My fish of the moment is Arctic Char. I can pick up a nice fillet on my walk home for less than 400isk so it’s cheap and delicious.

I prepare the fish with a light glaze of ~ 1 tsp dijon mustard, ~ 1 tsp heavy cream, ~2 tsp aquavit, and some parsley. The aquavit is a nice touch, especially if it is made with dill.

Then into a hot oven (400F) for ~10 minutes. If your fillets are thin go for 8 minutes. Overcooked fish is awful so I always keep a careful eye on it.

Bedtime Sunset

June 24th, 2009

I love this photo. It was taken around the time I usually go to bed, 11:30 and yes that is the sun streaming into my Kitchen. Last summer I had an awful time adjusting to the lack of darkness, I barely slept.

But this year it’s amazing, I can sleep with the bright sun streaming into my room and I do not awake at 3am when the sun is back up and blazing.

Do These Icons Make Sense?

February 20th, 2009

Working on some new icons for tellmetwin.com, I am at a loss for what to use for love and hate.

The idea is that when you rate something the lowest or highest a little overlay appears in the upper right.

Do the below work? Which ones are better? Anything besides a heart or a skull to signify love and hate?

love-hate

Or maybe something like the X in do not recommend again?

Good Reviews From Mashable

Good review on mashable for tellmetwin.

Looks like they like the idea, woo! And we need to focus on our core. So much to do!

I think the item page worked out really well, youtube, wikipedia and amazon all in once place. Very helpful if someone suggests a tv show or something.
