My name is Vesa Leinonen, i take photographs of Nature, culture and cuisine, particular interest in regional products, natural resources and the cultural traditions of hunter gatherer in the ancient days. A particular region has a population and history, the natural environment provided resources that enabled populations to grow and enjoy life. Often people don't see the connection between ethnic cuisine and the regional environment, also the modern trends tend to steer people away from Natural landscapes, and away from Nature in general. Which leads to ignorance of the importance of regional products and local food ingredients and their role in cultural history. My education and training in commercial cookery (chef), with lots of kitchen work experience, has given me a fresh appreciation for the food ingredients that have been grown on the local farms.
Smoking cigarettes

Why Do You Smoke?

Why Do You Smoke?

Why Do You Smoke? Every smoker has their own beginning, family and friends, their personal  emotions, likes and dislikes, best friends, and the circle of friends from neighborhood, school and work place. There is also the circumstances of life, and habits that people choose through their instinct and personal choices.

Why Do You Smoke?
Sunsets at the Coral sea

Why Do You Smoke? Explain.

Many people smoke for a wide range of reasons. They can range from something as innocent as smoking when you are depressed, stressed or when you just want a quick pick me up. The idea that smoking a cigarette will make your projects go away is an innocent idea, but in reality, it is completely incorrect. Typically, what is actually beneficial is the fact that you are able to take a few brief moments out of your life to see exactly what is going on. One such example is those who work at a stressful job, looking forward to your next cigarette break is often going hand in hand with trying to break away from the stress for a few brief moments. Learning how to cut down the stress at work can be very helpful to cutting down the number of cigarettes you need as well.

Why do you smoke? Quitting is humanly possible.

Trying to quit smoking is not easy, learning the exact reason why you actually smoke is often critical to the success of the project. If you discover the exact reason why you are smoking it can make it so much easier to actually determine how to find the success that you need, in order to quit for good. Simply trying to quit for reasons that do not pertain to your situation will leave you upset and frustrated. You are likely to feel as if you are nothing more than a failure, and your overall situation is not likely to be impressive at all. However, if you take the time to discover why you specifically smoke, you will be surprised at just how much easier it is to stop.

Other reasons that many people smoke is due to being under the impression that they will not be able to smoke. This comes back to the old idea that you are never hungry at night except for the night before a medical test when you are not allowed to eat after 8p.m. Suddenly that very night you are positively starving and think that your doctor is punishing you badly for some reason. The same thing happens to smokers. If you are going somewhere and you think you will not be able to smoke, the urge to smoke may be much stronger. This often has nothing to do with actually needing or even wanting to smoke. It is nothing more than a mental game that we play with ourselves.

Many smokers find that they are only interested in smoking if they are bored. Having nothing to do leads to idle hands, which can easily create problems. Learning how to keep yourself busy is not easy, but trying to avoid boredom can often go a very long way in the battle to stop smoking. Taking the time to create a schedule for yourself that you can keep, without leaving too much down time is important. If you pack your schedule with too much, you will create stress, which could cause you to smoke even more, if you have too much free time you could become bored which can also lead to smoking more. A properly balanced schedule will ensure that you are productive without stressing.

Why do you smoke? When there is so much life on earth to be discovered and to live a healthy life.

A final consideration that you need to take into account is getting plenty of sleep. Many people smoke because they need a pick me up in the middle of the day. Finding yourself in this position is not good. Avoid staying up excessively late whenever possible. Even going to bed early once a week can add up to reducing the sleep shortage that you are experiencing. As lives are increasingly busy, it is quite easy to forget how important sleep really is. This can create a huge need to do something, almost anything to actually stay awake. Avoid smoking and ensure that you are getting the rest you really need. This simple step alone can help you to cut your smoking by as much as half if you are dedicated to getting the sleep that your body really needs to survive.

Stop Smoking

Steps To Stop Smoking

Steps To Stop Smoking

Steps to stop smoking can be well planned, organized and backed up with the right information and facts about healthy living. That is the crux of the issue, the bad habit of smoking, and it really is a serious health hazard.  And to make a change in the lifestyle, away with the bad habit, and replace it with the healthy lifestyle of living.

Steps To Stop Smoking and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

Trying to quit smoking will likely take a very large amount of dedication and determination from you personally. At the same there are plenty of problems that you may encounter as well. Knowing what these potential problems are and having a specific plan for your success is important. Knowing exactly what you are trying to do will enable you to plan for success, rather than merely stumble along trying to quit.

Steps To Stop Smoking
Sunsets at the Coral sea

Steps To Stop Smoking explained.

Step 1.

You need to take the time to create a plan to quit smoking. This means looking at the reason why you smoke, and working to create a plan that will help you to succeed. If you are addicted to nicotine then you need to look at a product to help you slowly curb the nicotine addiction. If you merely smoke because you are bored you should look for thing to do to keep you occupied instead of bored. However, if you are smoking because you are stressed out then your plan should include a way to reduce stress as well.

Step 2.

Seek all of the help you can get. With help coming in the form of stop smoking aids, as well as support from your friends and family it will be very important to get anything you can. If you have a lot of problems getting the help that you need, you should work to resolve these problems before you attempt to quit. For example, if you have a very tight budget and cannot afford the nicotine gum that you might need, save up money for a couple of weeks to purchase the gum to start with. Then once you have what you need, start working to actually quit.

Step 3.

Log your progress. If you write down your goals, and also how you are progressing towards your goals you are making yourself accountable for everything. For example, if you decide that you are going to reduce your one pack a day habit to only 10 cigarettes each day it is important to write down each cigarette that you smoke. This will allow you to see a specific pattern to your smoking, and also make sure you are aware of how many cigarettes you are smoking each day. You may find that as you are writing down each cigarette you decide to skip a few just so that you do not have to write them down. If you choose this method make sure you are really honest with yourself. Cheating on your log will get you nowhere very quickly since the information is all incorrect.

Step 4.

Celebrate your success somehow. If you have managed to go 24 hours without a single cigarette, you should celebrate. This does not mean you need to throw a gigantic block party for each tiny milestone but you do need to do something. If you treat yourself to your favorite coffee, ice cream, book or even the purse at the mall you have been eyeing it will help encourage you to continue on your path of success. Save up a huge party, or even a dream vacation for once you have quit smoking for a longer period of time such as 1 year for example. This will give you a huge incentive to continue the success and you can use the money you save from stopping smoking to fund the trip or party.

Always ensure that you follow these steps and you will find that in no time at all, you will be able to join the ranks of the non-smokers of the world. Taking advantage of all of the help available as well as holding yourself accountable is a huge step in the right direction. Knowing what you should expect from yourself is also helpful because you will be able to anticipate problems before they appear. Merely waiting until problems do occur is asking for a disaster. You owe it to yourself to quit smoking successfully, and these four suggestions will get you there in record time.

New Year Greetings

Fresh New Year is here now 2016

Fresh New Year is here now 2016

Fresh New Year is here now 2016  don’t waste it.  Fresh New Year 2016 as a concept is a very positive one, especially if you make good positive choices in life. The ultimate end in life is the summation of the personal choices made the journey, and of course, there are some exceptions but the 99.9 % of people end up where they are because of the choices they a have made in life.

Fresh New Year is here now 2016

Choices are sometimes conscious and also unconscious.

There are choices that are made in life that were not really personally conscious choices, the choice may have been made because of parents guidance or peer pressure, or maybe desperate circumstances that push the individual to make desperate and morally bad choices in life.   They too are the minority of people that are forced to choose that which they don’t want to, or which they would not choose if they had a say in the matter. They are the exceptional desperate circumstances that require a moral specialist who understands ethics and morality with competence. Because the majority of people defend their own bad choices by giving excuses that they had no choice.  When the reality may be that they had never learned or paid the cost of the sacrifice to moral choices at the time of temptation.  To make a bad moral choice may seem to be a very attractive proposition at the time, but ultimately it is a bad decision and a poor moral judgment.  However such choices are common in humans, and with age, the wrong decision can become more clear over time as more wisdom is attained. To reverse the trend in bad decision-making, one needs to acknowledge past mistakes and to confess the wrongs and the sin. By that the action there is a change at the spiritual level, and that is where real change takes place, at the spiritual level.

 Holiday Greetings
and Best Wishes
for a New Year of Happiness
in a World of Peace

Whatever is beautiful,
Whatever is meaningful,
Whatever brings you happiness…
May it be yours this Holiday Season
and throughout the coming year!

May you find peace, love, and the
true spirit of the Holiday Season

Warmest Greetings of the Season
and Best Wishes for
Happiness in the New Year

Wishing our Friends and Family
a Joyous Holiday filled with Peace,
Love, and Prosperity.
Best Wishes for a Healthy New Year!

Are you feeling depressed?

Depression and sadness can be caused by negative feelings and poor environment, which may be due to lack of creativity, not able to change the circumstances and the personal environment. Simply put a person has become stuck in a depressing rut. The way out of such rut is to be proactive.  Here are some simply steps to get out of a depressing rut:

Clean the house, start by removing useless rubbish and thoroughly make the living space really tidy with lots of free space. Including removing clutter from table tops, benches, room corners, wardrobes and cupboards. There is nothing unusual about such clean up, because in normal life things do accumulate over time and it needs to be taken care of by removing useless clutter every so often.

Fresh New Year is here now 2016 , start again with an immaculate Environment

Think of the time when you first moved into the space that you live in, can you remember how much spare space there was, how the floors space was also free of clutter. It may be practical to return the living space to the original state few times as a reminder of reality, and to help you keep focused on the goals that you want to achieve in life. Useless clutter can be a distraction in the living space and it can eat up much energy and waste it.  The alternative is to use the energy focusing on the goals that you need to reach and do every day in order to reach the big goals in your life that you perceive to be situation where you are healthy, happy and content in life.  The beginning of the New Year is such a time to really do a thorough clean up of the home and living space, but do it with respect to the other people that may be sharing it you. Some people don’t understand how a living space can be a distraction to the goals in life. Maybe they have no personal goals in life. So it is good idea to share the New Year clean up idea with the people that you share the living space with, so that they are informed of the virtues of starting the New Year from a clean slate to make plans and clear objective goals for the New Year to work towards.

New Years is a chance for all of us to leave our mistakes behind and start fresh. Let’s freshen up! Happy New Years!

Thank you fro visiting this site www.Nordiccuisinefocus.com and reading up on this Fresh New Year is here now 2016.

I hope it was useful and meaningful for your new year!  Cheers!

Berries

Natural Nordic berries

Natural Nordic berries

Natural Nordic berries are a great source of natural nutrition and Phenolic compounds from the natural Nordic ingredients.  The primary ones are the Nordic berries, herbs, and mushrooms from the Nordic land environment.  There are also vast fish stocks in the freshwater creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes.

The modern Industrialization of society with factories and dam building did affect the quality of the fresh waters during the ’50s to 70’s. Since then many problem areas have been cleaned up and the free flow of pollution into natural rivers and lakes stopped for good.
The Gulf of Finland is being mostly affected by the many large cities along its shoreline.  Then there is also the fish stock in the Bothnia Sea, herrings, Baltic herrings, perch, and salmon, which does get fresh water flowing into the Bothnia Sea bay, especially during the spring season, while the winter snow and ice melt from the catchment areas and flows into the Bothnia Sea. Last but not least is the far north Arctic Sea, where the clean Arctic waters are filled with large resources of fish, like Arctic cod and salmon just to name a few, plentiful with large resources of seafood.

Natural Nordic berries and the traditional berry forage culture

The most common Natural Nordic berries that are foraged and harvested by the local peoples do vary some from region to region, and the local environment and also the latitude.  Not all berries grow equally; they can be located in very specific areas especially with the development of modern farming, draining of bogs and swamps.  The cultivation and expansion of the pine forestry, forest harvesting, and the modern urban development, with the growth of cities, roads and highways. They have all affected the land areas in many ways where natural berries did grow naturally and undisturbed for many hundreds of years, if not for thousands.

Natural Nordic berries environment

Wild berries do need a particular natural environment, with the right soil acidity, moisture and the right amount of sunlight. Trees can be a problem to natural berries, trees drink a lot of water during the summer season, therefore draining the topsoil of water, and the large grown trees also block the sunlight from reaching the ground cover.  Thirdly the trees can act as a windbreak, blocking out the pollinators from getting access to the berry plants. Much of the natural landscape where Natural Nordic berries seem to thrive best are mostly  open with only some trees scattered around about, with a natural water source close by, peat and moss, springs, creeks or rivers, and  wet marsh areas that keep the ground cover and foliage moist during the hot dry summer months.

Sweet nutrition from Natural Nordic Berries.

There 6 popular berries that do grow naturally in the Nordic environment without any intervention from humans. They are Lingonberries, Bilberries, Wild Raspberries, Cloud-berries, Cranberry, and the wild Strawberry.
All these berries can be found at some of the local farmers markets during the mid to late summer season, the berries do not all ripen at the same time, they do vary a lot and the peak season is relatively short for some berries, all berries are not equal as when they ripen and how long the season lasts. As well as the wild berries there are also farmed berries from the Nordic countries as well as the rest of Europe, the most common ones are the big bright red round strawberries and large raspberries.   The wild berries never grow as big as the farmed ones.
The other 4 berries mentioned are not farmed in the Nordic countries, at least not farmed in Finland, the wild berries do not adapt well to artificially manipulated environments. They are very sensitive to the natural growing stages of their growing environment.

Nutrition highlights of the Natural Nordic berries.

Vitamin C. Sea buckthorn berry has a very high vitamin C content, some 165mg per 100 grams, compared to 50mg of an orange, and 65mg in a kiwi fruit, per 100 grams. Cloudberry is also relatively high in vitamin C, at 100mg per 100 grams of fresh fruit weight.  Vitamin C. RDI is 75mg/day.

Vitamin E.  Sea Buckthorn berry is 3 mg/100 grams.  Cloudberry also 3 mg per 100 grams. Bilberry being close to 2mg per 100 grams, and Lingonberry at 1.5 mg per 100 grams.  Vitamin E. RDI is between 8-10mg/day.

Natural Nordic berries and Essential fatty acid content

Content of Essential fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Sea buckthorn berry is at 240mg (omega-6) per 100 grams of fresh berry weight. Omega-3 content level is at 330mg/100 grams.
Cranberry, Lingonberry and Bilberry all have the same omega-6 level at 125mg/100 grams.

Phenolic compounds in the Natural Nordic berries.

Nordic berries do have polyphenols in the skin of the berries, similar to the dark red wine grapes skins, that contain the polyphenols. What is a polyphenol, here is a definition.

“A polyphenol antioxidant is a type of antioxidant containing a polyphenolic substructure. Numbering over 4,000 distinct species, many of these compounds have antioxidant activity in vitro but are unlikely to have antioxidant roles in vivo.  Rather, they may affect cell-to-cell signalling, receptor sensitivity, inflammatory enzyme activity or gene regulation”. – Wikipedia.

Polyphenols are not classified as a nutrient, but extensive research has been done, and the conclusion is that the polyphenols, similar as the vast research done over many years on human health and Carotenoids has yielded results that prove that the Carotenoids do positively affect the quality of life.

They protect the many millions of molecular cell structures of the body from the attacks of free radicals. Free radicals break down good molecular structures, by their dynamic chemical reactions.

“A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. While a few free radicals such as melanin are not chemically reactive, most biologically-relevant free radicals are highly reactive. For most biological structures, free radical damage is closely associated with oxidative damage. Antioxidants are reducing agents, and limit oxidative damage to biological structures by passivating them from free radicals. – Wikipedia.

Natural Nordic berries with the natural Polyphenols and carotenoids have yielded results that prove that they do positively affect the quality of life. Take a minute or two view the picture galleries of the natural Nordic berries today.

May the year 2015 be your best year yet!

The world may be cracking up in many places, and it often seems like many places are falling apart.  There are many areas with aggressive violence going out of control.  But life does not need to be like that, in fact, it is not really living a life in the best sense of the term if there is festering violence going on, it is more like a viral disease that is contagious and out of control. Peace is a much better option to look forward to in the future.

Thank you for your keen effort in roaming the worldwide waters of the internet waters and landing on this one tiny net of a website.

Grateful for the visitors and for everyone’s enthusiasm in 2015, and really look forward to creating new fresh content in the new year coming up soon.

Easter weekend

Easter Sunday 2014

Easter Sunday 2014

Easter Sunday 2014 is a bluebird Sunday,  lots of sunshine and bright blue skies.  The white snow cover on the ground has long gone this year and the many migratory birds have been arrived at the Nordic region since the month of March, about 4 weeks ago.

The top temperature this Easter Sunday 2014 was over +20’C  today, the warmest day for this year here in Finland.  Pussy willows have sprouted and the new sprouts have sprung out and new growth already and taking the opportunity to grow in the warm spring season sunshine.

Easter Sunday 2014 is a day of rest and a day for the Christian world to remember the Easter Sunday resurrection of their Savior Jesus Christ.

New Year 2014 with a loud Happy new Year Cher!  This New Year 2014 has many new opportunities for whatever one sets the mind to do and to experience in life.
To start of this year I will add some links to products that you may be interested in:

  • Picture Art.
  • Personal decision-making skills.
  • Wisdom to know what is morally right, what it is and how to attain it into everyday life.

New Year 2014, now is a good idea to take stock of the year gone by, and make a list of pros and Con’s.
Then tick off the positive pro’s that you are proud of, and also cross out the negative Con’s that you don’t want to repeat in the new coming year.
That is one part of good decision making. Evaluating the decision made in the past, and correcting the errors of the past.  Watch this video.
Here is a website on decision making.

Herring

Herring (Clupea harengus).

Herring fish have been caught around the world for many thousands of years.  The most abundant species belong to the genus Clupea, there are about 200 species of various herring.  They are found in the shallow, temperate waters of the North Pacific, also North Atlantic oceans, the Baltic Sea, and the west coast of South America.

In the Scandinavian and the Nordic region, the Baltic Herrings were a very important food source along with the Herring and the sprats (Sprattus sprattus). Herring’s were salted in wooden drums for the coming winter, an oily fish similar to anchovies and sardines that could also be pickled, smoked and cooked as a casserole with potatoes, bacon, and onions.  Oily fish are a good source of vitamin A, D and the Omega 3. Oily fish and forage fish also can contain contaminants like mercury and dioxin.

Pickled herring also known as Bismarck herrings, it has been a delicacy in Europe for centuries.

The pickling of Baltic herrings is prepared usually in 3 stages: 1. Cleaning and gutting. 2. Soaked in a salted pickle overnight, drained and finally the third stage placing the herring filets into the final pickle that was briefly brought to boil containing vinegar with spices, onions, peppers and flavor giving vegetables.

The traditional preserving and cooking method of herring used basic ingredients at the time, salt for smoking with various wood types, e.g. apple tree or aspen.

For pickling the ingredients used were; white vinegar, onions, dill, peppers, spice, salt and maybe at better days red wine or sherry.  As the food culture grew and experimented with ingredients from other cultures then spices, herbs, and vegetables from other cultures got acceptance and became more widely used.  The following recipe uses fennel, ginger and kafir lime for a broader flavor range.
