Foamy mashed potatoes, sauce with beef mince, shredded carrots & lingonberry jam.

This and some game meats are the only red meat we eat and we eat it rarely. I buy it from a close by farm where they are doing pasture farming and are involved in carbon sequestration

We often make one big food once a week, this time these mashed potatoes in a big pot. Today and tomorrow we eat it with this sauce, then some other protein. This way we only have to cook a bit daily.

This food takes me straight back to my grandparents house. They were proles who taught me all I know about making food last/cooking for days/cooking for a big family. My grandma was an epic cook, made the most wholesome tasty food from fairly cheap ingredients. It’s how they raised four kids with just one adult working a government job.

Their ‘never throw anything away & always strech out ingredients’-skills helped me a lot when raising my own kid mostly poor or unemployed. I often miss them and wish I had the understanding to listen better when my grandpa talked about Lenin and the Soviet Union.
