pick❄️ Welcome to my new obsession. ❄️
First, some backstory. Depending on how long we‘ve been Litsy friends, you may or may not know that I had a little house rabbit for 12 years. Her name was Moxie. A common nickname for her was “Moomin.” Understandably then, I‘ve been meaning to read a Moomin book for a long time! 👇🏻
It is 5 minutes to midnight and I finally found my Moomin books I wanted to read for #Finland #foodandlit. Well…
@Catsandbooks
pickI adore Moomin so I couldn‘t resist grabbing this cookbook for #foodandlit this month. There are cute illustrations and some good recipes. Can‘t go wrong with Moomin! 4⭐️ 50 points 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

Taking this last opportunity to post for #foodandlit #Finland in these last hours of December 31st.
I visited Helsinki for a week this November/December and had some very lovely local food (and lots of Glögi 😇) there.
Also bought loads of Moomin books and merchandise 😊

My #FridayNightShare week 3 selection for Solstice/Equinox is a childhood favourite (tagged). My non-fiction selection is this incredible memoir and ode to nature by Kerri ní Dochartaigh, starting a few days before midwinter solstice and the following year.

I made pyttipanna (or pyttipannu) using the Moomins cookbook 😁: it's fish, potatoes and onions fried together, and served with beetroot, gherkins and a fried egg. Easy comfort food!
(French readers will notice a spelling mistake on the page 🙄)

The tagged, along with several others.

There are also several 'Petterson and Findus' ones by Sven Nordqvist that are set in winter and give strong holiday vibes (at least three I can think of)...
Then of course The Shining and Misery by Stephen King and
The Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena.
❄️❄️❄️
Here's my pile of books for #Finland
- A kids' Moomins cookbook
- A history of Finland
- A novel (the French title means “The frog-woman“)
- A cheffy trilingual cookbook

“Here come the dumb,
The lonely and the rum,
The wild and the quiet,
Thud goes the drum.”
Thud, thud, thud goes my Moomin-lovin‘ heart. now
