› My Thai Food Obsession! Homemade Wok, Thai Sauces, Shopping & Kitchen Chaos | The EVERFLOW
Iam still alive. Hard to believe right? Hello my pumpkins! How are you all? I’m ok. Been dragging myself out and go to town to not isolate myself because of my head.
I still havent needed to have internship so im working on the assignments at home. I asked my teacher to send me the next one so we’ll see.

I have lately become obsessed with Thai food. Ever since Elin and I ate last time at the restaurant. I dont remember what the name of the dishes was (read here) but luckily I took picture of it (as usually when we eat out) and I did a chatgpt search just to try help identify what dish it was but I wasn’t sure of it to be honest so I started to ask what sauces they use in Thai food. Oyster sauce – that sounded scary! I have never had that (Oysters) but if they use it in the food, I had to buy! It also said fish sauce but I draw the line there. No thank you!
I have been googling, chatgpt-ing, looked around, spoken to a chef I play game with and hunting. I decided to try make my own food and ohmygod. I am obsessed!
I make with beef, meat and chicken! And alot of vegetables! Ofcourse – no rice or anything. Tried with one dish and it was an instantly no. Why? I can eat it with the food on restaurants but when I tried at home, no. I don’t know why but rice didn’t/ dont match to the dishes.
Honestly, I’m getting more interested in flavors and want to try different kind of Thai food. I don’t know which one is good though. I am very picky when it comes to food.
Super expensive! This four things cost me around $40!
What was most expensive was the meat! Oh my god! $25 dollars for a small package of thin slices. Crazy!
Me looking at the price: EXCUSE ME?!
The beef: You wanted Thai food, didn’t you?
My wallet: We need to talk. 😂
I’m constantly looking for new to add in my wok mix. So far I have only used like cabbage, bell peppers, onions, and bamboo plus meat or chicken.
Bath time, relaxing and just.. breathe (and sneeze)
First time I made it, I did with beef and I was treating myself a bath due to pain and hunting for ingredients the whole day. When I finally taste it.. oh it was so good! Super spicy but delicious. I noticed that I sneeze if I eat too strong food apparently. Every time I have eaten the thaifood I sneeze like a crazy person! It is only when I eat the one i have made. Not restaurants!
Apparently my homemade Thai food comes with a bonus feature: sneezing.
Restaurant Thai food? No problem.
My own cooking? ACHOO! ACHOO! ACHOO!
I don’t know what I’m doing differently, but apparently my wok has chosen violence. 😂
But I can honestly say – it was way more tasty than the restaurants. Hard to believe actually but now I can save alot of money by making my own Thai food and not spend $$$ . Sure the things were expensive (the meat) but I have put in freezer so I can make four more dishes! HAPPY MIMA!
I wonder how long this obsession will be. But hey, its kinda “healthy” so why not?
I want to try all kinds of works, mixes etc when it comes to the food but im terrified that I wont like it.
What’s your favorite Thai dish and should i try make it or any other ? Do you have a favorite wok combination?
Oh by the way, if you can’t find the can opener – use a screwdriver and a hammer. A challenge but it worked! Ofcourse I washed the bamboo and even boiled it before adding it to the wok.
Yes.. i used a screwdriver, hammer and a grippy thing to twist the lid open. -
› I Finally Found Them After Months Hunting, Shopping, School, Storage Baskets & Everyday Chaos | The EVERFLOW
PUMPKINS! I AM SO HAPPY I FLY ON CLOUDS!
Yes, exaggeration, but you will get it below!
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
FINALLY I FOUND THEM! I had this energy drink in Bulgaria and have been desperately hunting them down.
I found them. The store had 11 left… I took them all and found a new one to try as well – Apple & Cherry. We’ll see how that one is.
What actually was the reason for me to go to the store after I’ve been to school and did a massive exam – which I passed! Even though I had studied the wrong stuff. Thank God my memory was on my side today. – and at the store I was going to look for more storage baskets so I could organize my son’s room, but it ended me up first looking for more Halloween things.
There was nothing that caught my eye except a cute lantern with purple glitter and spiders, but I have lanterns from a few years ago that I haven’t used yet, so I didn’t buy it.
So I continued through the store and I found baskets. The luck was on my side – take 3, pay for 2 – so I grabbed like 16, so now I have some to organize his toys.
When I was at the register, I got a massive urge to go check how much the Pepsi Max 7-pack was in price – no, I didn’t buy it. I love Pepsi Max, but that price? Yeah, no.
So I started to look at the energy drinks to buy the original one I usually have – I forgot one at home when I left in a rush – and there they were! You know the “panic” stress you get when you find something you like – ok, not like those consumption-of-FOMO things in America – so you rush grabbing them because it has been a hassle to find in Sweden and I have been hunting them in EVERY STORE since July.
So yes, when i found 11 left
My brain: TAKE THEM ALL!
Me: SAY LESS!!Raspberry & Peach.
Happiness in a can.
I didn’t buy my regular ones because I have a few at home. I grabbed these. Yes, I took them all. I will go to the store weekly to check from now on.
Happy Happy Miima! WOHO!
So this hunt was amazing! Well, shopping. I also bought in-ear headphones – god, I hate them because my piercing doesn’t let me wear them – the ring is like too big for my ear. Ooops! Oh well.I am so happy I can’t smile! Yes, I’ll go to the store weekly like I already written. What if I find more!? Ouff, I would be so happy!

› Life Lately | A Little EverFlow Update From Home
A little look at everyday life, social training, motherhood, getting around on crutches, and dealing with an injured foot.
Hello my spicy pumpkins! 🖤
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
How are you all doing today? I hope you all have an amazing day / evening!
I thought I should post a mixed blog post with a bit of what I’ve been doing lately when I haven’t been blogging. Mostly photos though. A picture say more than a thousand words – isn’t that the saying?
E and I have been social training a couple of times — at the same time as we’ve been grocery shopping, but these times have been in town. Not at home. So it has been a lot of bus rides and walking. Shopping, spending time together, laughs, happiness but of course tears and sadness. Nothing special has happened with the sadness, but you can’t always have bright, colorful and happy days.
Alone on the bus. Take which ever the seat you want. 
Telling him to slow down and go next to me is impossible.
Trying to keep up with the same speed as E when walking — that must look interesting and funny. Screaming blue crutches, a heffalump (me) dressed in black and probably with a backpack as usual. Even the thought of that makes me laugh! Like… what!?Do you know the boy who copies and making fun of his mom when walking? Little boy!
Thief. Always steal my extra legs. Haha!
I thought I’d share some photos from the time. I’m currently in bed, resting my foot, neck and stomach. Stomach pain after today’s visit to the hospital.
Update on my foot: 8/10 pain right now.Ice Cream Date
Random pics from the time.
Broken adapter.. I accidentally dropped it on the floor. Now I know how an adapter for phonecharger looks like inside. 
I need these as tattoos. -
› It’s Secured & There’s No Risk of Running Out!
It’s secured. No risk of me going without it. It was expensive, but it was on sale — half price compared to its normal price.
Hey guys! I hope you are all doing well today! I have not said that in a long time. I’M SORRY!! How are you? How have you been? Any news you want to share? Talk to me 🥰 Let’s have a conversation in the comments!
It’s a cardigan I tied around my bag
Now to the post — and you are probably wondering what I mean by the title.
Well, first things first: I did not go to the BS event the teacher sent an invitation to. Nope.
Second: the Pepsi Max is secured 🙌🏼
Yes, I went into town just to buy Pepsi Max, and then I remembered that my son had been pointing at chips in the advertisement papers, so I bought those too. I also picked up my new obsession (well… not new, but new for this use): vanilla protein drinks that I have started using in my smoothies alongside the powder and oh my God… game changer 🙌🏼
It’s moments like this I wish I had a car 😅 Let me tell you, this was heavy! But it was secured! So getting home was a challenge. Sun high up in sky, massive head, a bag on wheels, backpack and a shopping bag with all the Pepsi Max plus the other. Heavy!
Sadly, I still had to go to the grocery store after I got home and dropped the Pepsi Max off because I needed to buy dinner and breakfast stuff.
Today I spent around $70 😵💫 Mostly on soda, but it is fine. They do not have this sale very often, so whenever they do… I attack the packages 😂
Well, not literally. But you get it.Todays dinner; my own chicken buttermasala and rice. Plus veggies ofcourse.

› 80s/90s Vibes in a Very Expensive World
A few snapshots were taken and edited to make them look like they were shot with a disposable camera.
I tried editing these photos to make them look like I took them with a disposable camera/film camera. I’m in that era right now where I want pictures to have that 80s/90s vibe, you know? That vintage (wow, now I feel old!) vision, feeling, and look.
I still have a lot to work on, but hey, you have to start somewhere, right? I’m still looking for a good editing app for my phone where I can get edits exactly like that.
● Grocery shopping
● An event is happening where we live
● The stress from all the noise and E’s struggles with loud sounds
● SUPER EXPENSIVE!
Even though the Swedish government officially announced that taxes and food prices would go down starting April 1st to make everyday necessities cheaper… well… this bag that my son and I carried home from the store cost me $80. $80!! That is freaking insane!
● Bad habits stuff
● Pepsi Max
● A small piece of meat
● French fries
● Potato salad
● Two cakes for Sweden’s National Day celebration
● One can of corn
● A small tub of roasted onions
● Popcorn
That’s it. Those were the items. And keep in mind that they were on sale, meaning they were cheaper because of the occasion.
Back in the 90s, this probably would’ve cost around $25 or something, but $80!? It’s unbelievable how money-hungry the government is. It’s disgusting. And these aren’t even proper everyday necessities (well, maybe not what I bought specifically, but you know what I mean).
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
The event happening here is something they do every year. Face painting, candy fishing, politics, running marathons, etc. There’s a lot going on, and it’s SO LOUD. That’s why grocery shopping (aka “getting robbed” shopping!) was such a challenge for me—well, mostly for E—but we made it through. Thank God.
Now we’re home, about to do laundry and relax. Maybe have a little spa time. Put rice water in my hair and do some hair masks. Hm, lovely, but we’ll see how much energy I have left after walking up and down 30 steps every single time. Lol.
Yes, I’m complaining right now, and no, I am not sugarcoating that I have a bad habit.
