Saturday Evening with Kolja

The first entry is about fish! Kolja.

Today we are eating fish. Not just any fish, but ecological fish, with the name of Haddock, or Hake. In Swedish they call them Kolja and they live in the open ocean, North Atlantic as Wikipedia describes, at 40 - over 100 m depth.
Fish is good for us. Especially its B Vitamins, Potassium and 24.24 mg of Protein it nourishingly provides us with when we eat it.

Rose is dressing the fish at this very minute with ginger, garlic, lemon and lime juice, parsley as well as salt and pepper, of course with drizzles of extra virgin olive oil, in Swedish: Extra Jungfru Olive Olja. Also the organic kind.

We will be eating the fish in combination with lettuce, baby spinach, avocado salad and rice on the side tonight (all ecological quality) .

The Prince of Fishes - or the story of to be and not to have.

So the story goes that once upon a time in a land not so far away there was an old man and his wife who lived in a small hut by the ocean. On a day like any other day the old man took his rod to go fishing. As luck had it, on that day, the old man caught the Prince of Fishes (of course it was a majestic haddock).

The Prince of Fishes said to the old man when he reeled him in, "please, let me go, for I have a kingdom to rule and if you let me go I will grant you every wish you desire."

So the old man returned to his wife and told her what had happened. The wife said "Oh, to have a cottage rather than a small hut..." The old man returned to the ocean and called to the Prince of Fishes and told him of his wife's request.

And the Prince of Fishes said "It is done".

When the old man returned home there stood a lovely cottage. But the next day, the old man's wife said "Oh, but to have a castle!" The old man returned and gave his wish to the Prince of Fishes and the Prince of Fished said again "It is done".

The old man returned home and there stood a magnificent castle. But after some time the old wife was not satisfied. "Oh husband, " she said, "to have a kingdom!". So the old man returned again and as before the Prince of Fishesd said "It is done".

But the old woman, as it was her nature, still wished for more. She said to her husband "Oh, to be like GOD!". The husband returned to the sea and the King of Fishes said "It is done as you have wished". When the old man returned home, he saw with joy that there once again stood his small hut. He went to sit next to his wife on small blue bench in front of their hut and there they lived happily to the end of their days.
