Spicy pancakes with pickled jalapenos, cilantro, and garlic for breakfast. That's how we roll, at least this early April crazy weather morning.
I cheated with a mix whose expiry date was "time to go," but they're easy if you plan ahead and soak the beans the night before...

I am reading a Finnish mystery, Leena Lehtolainen's Detective Maria Kallio series book one, My First Murder. Translator Owen F. Witesman.
It's better than the reviews on Goodreads so far, but then, I like the Scandi sense of humor and have some sense of where things are on the Finland map. Keeping track of the many characters with similar two syllable names was a little work at first, but then they started to take.
The description of drunken, incompetent middle management at Kallio's office was just like a friend's job and made her laugh too. The dudeism in office politics Kallio mocks in her internal monologues is similarly well-recognizable across country boundaries...
I can't wait to get to the later books translated by Lola Rogers. However, Book One, despite my initial hesitance about the Amazon Crossing logo on the cover, reads nicely and is pretty entertaining.
