<p>St. Martin&#8217;s day is celebrated in the evening of November 11 in Flanders, parts of the Netherlands and the Catholic areas of Germany and Austria. Children go by the doors with paper lanterns and candles, and sing songs about St. Martin and about their lantern in return for a treat, very similar to the American tradition of Halloween.</p>
<p>When I started school at the age of six, our family lived in Germany. Until I read the previous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin's_Day">chapter</a> in Wikipedia, I thought the evening lantern parade I participated with my schoolmates in 1982 was indeed Halloween celebration. Live and learn :)</p>
<p>Some time ago my aunt told me about goose roast which is the food traditionally eaten on the St. Martin&#8217;s day. According to legend, Martin (316 â€“ 397 AD) was reluctant to become bishop, which is why he hid in a stable filled with geese. The noise made by the geese betrayed his location to the people who were looking for him. Unforgiving to the poor geese he ordered them to be slaughtered every year on that day.</p>
<p><img alt="goosebeforestuffing_.jpg" id="image310" src="http://www.taikinapoika.com/uploads/2006/11/goosebeforestuffing_.jpg" /></p>
<p>I wanted to cook something nice for the Father&#8217;s Day, and then remembered the goose roast, which sounded really yummy to me. I found a fresh one from my favorite butcher shop, Reinin Liha, albeit at â‚¬14.99 / kg ($8.70 / lbs) it definitely isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;m planning to cook regularly.</p>
<p>The bird looks like a longish, small turkey, but its meat is dark like duck. There is also a really thick layer of fat under the skin which fortunately melts in the oven. Just like with whole turkeys, the giblets were left inside the body cavity in a small plastic bag. I roasted the neck, heart and gizzards, but reserver the big liver for further use. Mmm, fried goose liver!</p>
<p><img alt="goosebeforestuffing2_.jpg" id="image311" src="http://www.taikinapoika.com/uploads/2006/11/goosebeforestuffing2_.jpg" /></p>
<p>The tips of the wings and the extra, fatty flaps of the skin are cut away before stuffing and roasting.</p>
<p><img alt="friedpears_.jpg" id="image314" src="http://www.taikinapoika.com/uploads/2006/11/friedpears_.jpg" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s said there are as many recipes for the St. Martin&#8217;s day goose as there are cooks. I checked a few trusty books for reference &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Purpose-Joy-Cooking/dp/0684818701">Joy of Cooking</a>, and Nigella&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Eat-Pleasures-Principles-Good/dp/0471257508">How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food</a> &#8211; but after some googling found a tasty-looking recipe by Jeffrey Steingarten, originally from his book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0375412808">It Must&#8217;ve Been Something I Ate: The Return of the Man Who Ate Everything</a>.</p>
<p>The recipe is super long, so instead of rewriting it I decided to simply copy it here.</p>
<p>My family really enjoyed the bird, and especially the pears and apples also described in the recipe. My roasting pan wasn&#8217;t big enough to hold the pears and the goose, so I baked the pears separately in their own baking dish. I simply divided the chicken broth and wine in two equal parts, and used the other half to baste the bird.</p>
<p>In addition to the pears, apples and the veggies, I served the roast with mashed potatoes and gravy made from the drippings.</p>
<p><img alt="gooseroast_.jpg" id="image312" src="http://www.taikinapoika.com/uploads/2006/11/gooseroast_.jpg" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Alsatian Goose Roast With Cardamom &#038; Orange Pears</strong></p>
<p><em>Serves 6-8</em></p>
<p>4.5 kg (10 lbs) young fresh goose<br />
1 kg (2 lbs) sweet apples, peeled &#038; cubed<br />
2.5 dl (1 cup) carrots, chopped<br />
2.5 dl (1 cup) celery, chopped<br />
2.5 dl (1 cup) celery root, chopped<br />
6-8 pears (one per person), peeled but with stems left intact<br />
zest of 2 organic oranges<br />
0.5 tsp ground cardamom<br />
7 dl (3 cups) chicken stock<br />
1 bottle white Alsatian wine, e.g. GewÃ¼rztraminer<br />
all purpose flour to thicken the gravy<br />
salt, pepper</p>
<p>At least one day in advance, wash the goose inside and out. With a cleaver, chop off the first joint of both wings and reserve them along with the neck, the heart, and the gizzards.</p>
<p>Save the liver for another use. Pull all the excess white fat from the goose&#8217;s cavity and reserve. Cut off the neck skin flap, leaving only a few inches of it.</p>
<p>Brine and pierce the goose.</p>
<p>Preheat the oven to 220Â°C (425Â°F).</p>
<p>Choose a heavy roasting pan just large enough to hold the goose comfortably on the diagonal. Cut half the reserved fat into small pieces and melt it in the roasting pan over medium high heat on the stove top.</p>
<p>Rub a little fresh black pepper and salt into the cavity and the skin of the goose. Add the cubed apples but do not crowd them. Pull together the 2 skin flaps at the opening, push short skewers or even toothpicks through them, and secure the skin by lacing with string. Wrap and tie 2 separate lengths of string around the goose&#8217;s body, 1 around the breast to keep the wing joints close to the body, the other around the fattest part of the drumsticks.</p>
<p>Remove the solids from the melted fat and brown the goose on all sides, regulating the heat to avoid burning the fat. This will take between 20 minutes and 1/2 hour. Balance the goose on the sides of the roasting pan or hold it by the drumsticks to get at irregular surfaces. Meanwhile, chop the reserved neck, wingtips, and innards into 1-inch pieces.</p>
<p>When the goose is nicely browned, remove from the heat, set the goose on its back, and scatter the pieces of neck and wing around it. Slide the roasting pan into the preheated oven and roast for 1/2 hour, basting after 10 and 20 minutes. Pour and spoon off the fat into a bowl. Scatter the vegetables and pears around the goose. Moisten them with a little of the goose fat you have just removed and roast for 15 minutes. Using a bulb baster or a spoon, remove as much of the fat from the pan as you can.</p>
<p>Sprinkle the orange zest and ground cardamom over the pears, pour half the stock and half the wine over them, and return to the oven for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 175Â°C (300Â°F), pour the rest of the wine and stock over the goose, and roast for about an hour longer (removing the pears to a baking dish after a half hour), until the thighs reach 75Â°C (170Â°F) on an instant-read thermometer thrust into the thickest part of the meat.</p>
<p>Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Turn the heat up to 200Â°C (400Â°F) again. Lift the goose to a plate and immediately remove the apple stuffing to the baking dish holding the pears. Strain the roasting liquid into a saucepan, skim off most of the fat, and reduce to about 1 cup on the stovetop. Wipe out the roasting pan and put the goose back into the oven for 15 minutes to crisp its skin. Spoon a little goose fat and some of the half-reduced roasting liquid over the pears and the apple stuffing and put them in the oven with the goose to rewarm and brown slightly.</p>
<p>Let the goose rest for 20 minutes and serve on a large platter, surrounded by the little roast pears and the apple stuffing.</p></blockquote>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">Living in New York, Iâ€™m constantly homesick for good bread. In my neighborhood bodegas, the bread is suffocated in plastic; the sweet stuff comes from Entenmannâ€™s and would survive a nuclear winter. A Dominican bakery that is just a few blocks from us makes fresh pastries every day &#8211; unfortunately the bakers there are rather heavy-handed with artificial flavors and food colorings. â€œArtisanalâ€ breads are available in most gourmet markets &#8211; but that almost invariably means sourdough, which is not the flavor I look for in white bread. Besides, the entire concept of gourmet bread is just plain silly â€“ good bread should be available everywhere. The Greek bakeries in Astoria satisfy all my cravings and Portuguese bread canâ€™t be beat, but trips there involve subways, trains, or the snail-paced M60 bus.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">I learned to bake yeast bread before I started grade school. Yeast-based breads take time: over the long and chilly President&#8217;s Day weekend, I finally decided to satisfy my cravings. Tartine Gourmandâ€™s <a href="http://www.beaskitchen.com/blog/2006/02/01/pourquoi-cet-amour-pour-la-brioche-why-this-love-for-brioche/">brioche pictures</a> inspired me to combine <a href="http://www.forums.supertoinette.com/recettes_27098.brioche_parisienne_de_saveur.html">French brioche</a> and <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouglof">kouglof</a> techniques with my Finnish <a href="http://koal.kpedu.fi/myfavouritemenu/menu/teemu.htm">pulla</a> heritage. This is the result:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span class="postbody">(makes 5)</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">500 g all-purpose flour </span><br />
<span class="postbody">25 g bakerâ€™s yeast or one sachet of active dry yeast</span><br />
<span class="postbody">2 eggs</span><br />
<span class="postbody">100 g butter (at room temperature, cut into little pieces)</span><br />
<span class="postbody">1 tsp salt</span><br />
<span class="postbody">65-85 g sugar</span><br />
0.<span class="postbody">75 dl warm (but not too warm) milk<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">1 dl raisins<br />
2 tbsp dark rum<br />
a handful of almond slivers<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">one beaten egg for basting</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">Mix the flour and the active dry yeast. Add the warm milk,salt, sugar, and one of the eggs, mix vigorously. Add the other egg, knead for 5-10 min; then add the butter. (If you are using fresh baker&#8217;s yeast &#8211; my preference whenever available &#8211; crumble the yeast in tepid milk, then add salt, sugar, and flour.) Add a bit of flour or milk if the dough feels too dry or very runny. Knead until the dough separates from the bowl. Cover with a tea towel. If you let the dough rise overnight in the fridge, take it out to room temperature for at least 1.5 hours so that the dough reaches room temperature before you shape it. My favorite method is to fill the kitchen sink with hot tap water, put the bowl in the water (it will float): the dough will rise in 30-60 minutes.  Let the raisins soak in rum in the meantime.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="postbody">When the dough has doubled in size, punch it down, and sprinkle it with a little extra flour to get a ball of dough that is not sticky. Roll out the dough into a rectangle â€“ in my minuscule Manhattan kitchen, I use a clean, lightly floured polyethylene cutting board to do this. Sprinkle the almond slivers and raisins (and possibly a bit of extra butter) on the top of the dough, and then roll up the dough in jellyroll fashion, starting from the longer side. Cut into six pieces. Butter a muffin tin (I used one that has six 9 cm / 3.5â€ cups). Put five pieces into the cups; if you wish to make Parisian-shaped brioche with small heads, cut the sixth piece into fifths, shape into balls, and fuse them on top of the bigger pieces. Baste with beaten egg and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake in 175 C / 350 F for about 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm, perhaps with jam â€“ I ate mine with Swedish raspberry-blueberry preserves from the  IKEA in New Jersey.</span></p>

<p>Bloggaaminen on minulle keskeinen tapa pitÃ¤Ã¤ yllÃ¤ muutakin kuin Instant Messenger -kirjoitustyyliÃ¤  Ã¤idinkielellÃ¤ni joten en vielÃ¤ tÃ¤ysin luovu suomenkielisestÃ¤ postaamisessa.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Amerikassa asumisen tylsiÃ¤ puolia on hyvÃ¤n leivÃ¤n puute. Toki Suomessakin hukutamme loistavan leipÃ¤perinteemme aivan liian heppoisin perustein supermarkettien muovipusseihin, mutta koska kasvoin pullantuoksuisessa kodissa uuninlÃ¤mpimÃ¤llÃ¤ Elannon hÃ¤Ã¤limpulla, kunnon leipÃ¤Ã¤ tulee vÃ¤lillÃ¤ tuskallisen ikÃ¤vÃ¤. Hapankorppuja saa tÃ¤Ã¤llÃ¤ joka marketista, mutta hyvÃ¤ sekaleipÃ¤ ja usein ihan tavallinen valkoinen leipÃ¤kin ovat kiven takana. Gourmetmarketit myyvÃ¤t inhottavan hapantaikinapohjaisia patonkeja &#8211; 4-5 dollaria leivÃ¤stÃ¤ joka vanhenee pÃ¤ivÃ¤ssÃ¤ ei innosta. Makeat leivonnaiset ovat lÃ¤hikaupoissa ja parin korttelin pÃ¤Ã¤ssÃ¤ sijaitsevassa dominikaanileipomossa lÃ¤hinnÃ¤ ikisÃ¤ilyvÃ¤Ã¤ lajia. Suomalaiseen makuun tÃ¤ydellistÃ¤ vaaleaa leipÃ¤Ã¤ saa portugalilaisista leipomoista, mutta lÃ¤himmÃ¤t tietÃ¤mÃ¤ni ovat Mineolassa Long Islandilla ja Newarkissa New JerseyssÃ¤ &#8211; eli vÃ¤hÃ¤n kuin pitÃ¤isi junailla itsensÃ¤ HelsingistÃ¤ HyvinkÃ¤Ã¤lle jokapÃ¤ivÃ¤isen leivÃ¤n perÃ¤ssÃ¤. Huomattavasti lÃ¤hempÃ¤nÃ¤ &#8211; silti tukkoisen bussimatkan pÃ¤Ã¤ssÃ¤ &#8211; sijaitsevat Astorian ihanat kreikkalaiset leipomot.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kun nyt osui kohdalle pitkÃ¤ juhlapyhÃ¤viikonloppu ja sen verran kovat pakkaset ettÃ¤ tekee mieli pitÃ¤Ã¤ pÃ¤Ã¤llÃ¤ hehtaarikokoista jenkki-uunia (uunin kÃ¤yttÃ¶ on tÃ¤Ã¤llÃ¤ suunnilleen 6 kk vuodesta tuskallinen ajatus kuumuuden ja kosteuden vuoksi), sekoittelin keskenÃ¤Ã¤n <span class="postbody"><a href="http://www.beaskitchen.com/blog/2006/02/01/pourquoi-cet-amour-pour-la-brioche-why-this-love-for-brioche/">Tartine Gourmandin kuvien</a> inspiroimana <a href="http://www.forums.supertoinette.com/recettes_27098.brioche_parisienne_de_saveur.html">briossi-</a> and <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouglof">kouglof-</a> reseptejÃ¤.

<p>SÃ¶in joskus 80-luvun alussa spriikeittimellÃ¤ kuumennettua Knorrin pussisipulikeittoa norjalaisella leirintÃ¤alueella. TÃ¤mÃ¤ kokemus pilasi niin sipuli- kuin parsakeiton maineen 25 vuodeksi. Silloin tÃ¤llÃ¶in kun ravintolan ruokalistalla sipulikeitto on osunut kohdalle, olen nopeasti hypÃ¤nnyt sen yli. SinÃ¤nsÃ¤ kummallista, sipuli kun muuten on suurta herkkuani.

<p>Sipulikeittoa syÃ¶tiin jo Rooman valtakunnan aikana, mutta tÃ¤mÃ¤ moderni resepti juontuu 1600-luvulta. Ranskan kuningas Ludvig XV:n vÃ¤itetÃ¤Ã¤n keksineen ruokalajin, kun hÃ¤nellÃ¤ ei metsÃ¤stysmajalleen palatessan ollut muuta ruokaa kuin sipuleita, leipÃ¤Ã¤ ja shampanjaa.

<p>Laita uuni lÃ¤mpiÃ¤mÃ¤Ã¤n niin kuumaksi kuin mahdollista juuston kuorrutusta varten. Raasta juusto valmiiksi. LÃ¤mmitÃ¤ karamellisoitu sipuli kattilassa ja sekoita siihen suuruste. Kaada lihaliemi sipulien pÃ¤Ã¤lle ja anna kiehahtaa. Touch of Taste -fondin sijaan voit kÃ¤yttÃ¤Ã¤ 1/2 litraa jotain muuta lihalientÃ¤. Ota kattila pois levyltÃ¤ ja lisÃ¤Ã¤ basilika, rosmariini ja portviini.</p>
<p>Jaa sipulikeitto kahdelle uunia kestÃ¤vÃ¤lle lautaselle, aseta leipÃ¤viipaleet keiton pinnalle ja kuorruta juustoraasteella. Paahda uunissa muutama minuutti, kunnes juusto on hieman ruskettunut.</p></blockquote>
<p>Vaikka ruokalajin nimi vihjaa keittoon, sen konsistenssi on enemmÃ¤nkin muhennosmainen. Portviinin runsas ja tÃ¤ytelÃ¤inen maku karamellisoitujen sipuleiden pÃ¤hkinÃ¤iseen makeuteen sulautuneena ja juustoisen leivÃ¤n valjastamana yhdistyvÃ¤t kerrassaan mainioksi pakkaspÃ¤ivÃ¤n herkuksi.</p>

Moni kaihtaa ankkaa raaka-aineena aivan turhaan kuvitellessaan sen valmistamisen olevan jotenkin erityisen vaikeaa. Oman kokemukseni mukaan ankanrinta paistuu siinÃ¤ kuin mikÃ¤ muukin pala hyvÃ¤Ã¤ lihaa. TÃ¤rkeÃ¤Ã¤ on malttaa antaa tarpeeksi aikaa marinoitumiselle, mieluusti tÃ¤ysi vuorokausi tai ainakin yÃ¶n yli. Ankka kuten lehmÃ¤kÃ¤Ã¤n ei pidÃ¤ kahdesti tappamisesta, eli parhaaseen lopputulokseen pÃ¤Ã¤stÃ¤ksesi sisuksen on jÃ¤Ã¤tÃ¤vÃ¤ reilusti punaiseksi. Ankan mehukas ja aromikas liha todella kÃ¤rsii liiasta kypsentÃ¤misestÃ¤ ja mikÃ¤ pahinta, kadottaa mureutensa.</p>
<p>Inspitaation tÃ¤hÃ¤n ruokalajiin sain maanmainion (ei ehkÃ¤ niinkÃ¤Ã¤n reseptiensÃ¤ vaan visuaalisuutensa ansiosta) What&#8217;s Cooking -sarjan <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1571452567">Thai-osasta</a>. Varsinainen thairesepti tÃ¤mÃ¤ ei ole, chili, lime ja soija vain tuovat hÃ¤ivÃ¤hdyksen aasialaisesta keittiÃ¶stÃ¤. TÃ¤mÃ¤ sopii siis hyvin myÃ¶s niille, jotka eivÃ¤t thairuuasta muuten pidÃ¤.</p>
<p>Lisukkeeksi tÃ¤lle ruokalajille sopii mainiosti myÃ¶s jasmiiniriisi, mutta halusin pitÃ¤Ã¤ kalorit kurissa joten riisi sai tehdÃ¤ tilaa mehukkaille uunisipuleille.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Ankanrintaa ja uunisipuleita luumukastikkeella</strong></p>
<p><em>kahdelle</em></p>
<p>Marinadi:<br />
1-2 valkosipulin kynttÃ¤, murskattuna<br />
2 tl palmusokeria tai tummaa ruokosokeria<br />
1 1/2 rkl limen mehua<br />
1/2 rkl soijakastiketta<br />
1/2-1 tl chilikastiketta tai vastaava mÃ¤Ã¤rÃ¤ tuoretta chiliÃ¤</p>
<p>Kastike:<br />
1 rkl luumuhilloa<br />
1/2-1 dl kanalientÃ¤, aitoa tai kuutioista<br />
suolaa ja pippuria</p>
<p>Uunisipulit:<br />
1-2 isoa sipulia per henki<br />
1 lihaliemikuutio sipulia kohti<br />
voita<br />
balsamicoa<br />
yrttejÃ¤ (timjamia, rakuunaa, rosmariinia, meiramia etc.)</p>
<p>Leikkaa terÃ¤vÃ¤llÃ¤ veitsellÃ¤ ankan nahkaan ristikkÃ¤isiÃ¤ viiltoja reilun sentin vÃ¤lein siten, ettÃ¤ syntyy kaunis timanttikuvio. Viiltojen tulee ulottua reilusti rasvaan asti, mutta varo vaurioittamasta itse lihaa.</p>
<p>Sekoita murskatut valkosipulinkynnet, palmusokeri, limen mehu, soija ja chili keskenÃ¤Ã¤n. Laita ankanrinnat pakastepussiin, kaada marinadi niiden pÃ¤Ã¤lle ja sekoita huolellisesti. JÃ¤tÃ¤ jÃ¤Ã¤kaappiin marinoitumaan vÃ¤hintÃ¤Ã¤n kolmeksi tunniksi, mieluiten yÃ¶n yli.</p>
<p>Laita uuni lÃ¤mpiÃ¤mÃ¤Ã¤n 175 asteeseen noin tuntia ennen suunniteltua ruoka-aikaa. Kuori sipulit ja leikkaa siivu niiden ylÃ¤- ja alapÃ¤Ã¤stÃ¤, jotta ne pysyisivÃ¤t pystyssÃ¤ uunissa ja lautasella. Koverra ylÃ¤pintaan peukalonmentÃ¤vÃ¤ kolo vaikka teelusikalla. Painele haarukalla reikiÃ¤ kolon pohjalle auttamaan sipulin maustumista uunissa. Varo kuitenkin puhkaisemasta ulommaisinta kuorta. Paina lihaliemikuutio jokaisen kuopan pohjalle, sipaise sen pÃ¤Ã¤lle nokare voita, lorauta hieman balsamicoa ja ripottele mieleisiÃ¤si yrttejÃ¤. PeitÃ¤ lopuksi kolo kaivertaessa syntyneellÃ¤ &#8220;hatulla&#8221;. Kiedo sipulit yksitellen folioon ja paista 45 minuuttia tai kunnes tÃ¤ysin pehmenneitÃ¤.</p>
<p>Ankanrinnat eivÃ¤t kaipaa ylimÃ¤Ã¤rÃ¤istÃ¤ rasvaa paistamiseen, siinÃ¤ ne ovat tÃ¤ysin omavaraisia. Vaikka et sÃ¶isikÃ¤Ã¤n nahkaa, kannattaa rintafileet paistaa sen kanssa. Ota fileet jÃ¤Ã¤kaapista lÃ¤mpenemÃ¤Ã¤n hyvissÃ¤ ajoin ennen paistamista.</p>
<p>Kuumenna pannu tulikuumaksi ja tÃ¤llÃ¤ aikaa kuivaa ankanrinnat marinadista. SÃ¤Ã¤stÃ¤ marinadi. Paista ensin nahkapuoli alaspÃ¤in 4-5 minuuttia. Tarkkaile pannun lÃ¤mpÃ¶tilaa ja alenna tarvittaessa, nahka ei saa palaa karrelle. Kaada pannulle sulanut rasva pois ja kÃ¤Ã¤nnÃ¤ fileet. Paista  2-3 minuuttia kunnes pinta on kauniisti ruskettunut. LisÃ¤Ã¤ pannulle sÃ¤Ã¤stetty marinadi, luumuhillo ja kanaliemi. Anna muhia vielÃ¤ pari minuuttia. Nosta ankanrinnat leikkuulaudalle ja anna jÃ¤lkikypsyÃ¤ kymmenisen minuuttia. Jos kastike on liian juoksevaa, jatka sen keittÃ¤mistÃ¤ kasaan kunnes sopivaa.</p>
<p>Poista sipulit varovasti foliosta, ne ovat nyt hyvin pehmeitÃ¤ ja mehukkaita. Isosta lusikasta on apua nostelussa. Leikkaa ankanrinnat viistosti ohuiksi viipaleiksi, asettele lautaselle sipulien viereen ja pirskottele luumukastikkeella.</p></blockquote>
<p>Vaikka ankan nahka onkin suurta herkkuani, olen viime aikoina sydÃ¤n verta vuotaen leikannut sen irti paistamisen jÃ¤lkeen ennen viipalointia. Ankan liha itsessÃ¤Ã¤n on vÃ¤hrasvaista, mutta paksu nahan alainen rasvakerros tuplaa helposti annoksen energiamÃ¤Ã¤rÃ¤n.</p>
