A simple, yet yummy and warming dish for cold evenings. Also good when served as a starter.
Quarantine Chicken Enclosure
Unfortunately Schakkeline isn’t doing well at the moment. She seems to have some kind of an infection, so we had to separate her from the flock to ensure she gets enough food and doesn’t get pecked at by the other girls.
An old wooden transport box (I’m glad I saved it) was the basis for making a small quarantine coop containing an enclosure and a small fresh-air-area. The wifey and my neighbour did an awesome job for the poor girl! We can care better for her when she’s secluded and can recover in peace.
Whole Roasted Cauliflower Head
I’m all but a vegetarian. I AM NOT! But dishes like this – aromatic, flavourful and filling enough – really make me indulge myself into a “veggies-only” dinner every once in a while. Here’s how:
Egg and Soy Sauce over Rice Bowl
I don’t know if this is a real asian dish or if it’s just some thrown together delicacy. I read this somewhere some time ago and finally gave it a try – and for real: This is simple, easy-to-make dinner, very yummy and perfect for evenings when you can barely be arsed to cook. 🙂
Rice Paper Omelette
I watched this YouTube video and just had to recreate that recipe. I omitted the hot sauce and used what I had in the fridge. I can absolute recommend this!
Chicken Flats with White Wine and Leeks Cream Sauce
With work being the dominant factor at the moment, the only self made things I can post about are my meals. If I go on like this, this will become another recipe blog… 🙂
Whatever. These chicken cutlets with a creamy sauce made delicious dinner. Give them a try!
Homegrown Pear Sauce
It’s harvesting time for the pear tree in my munich garden and I got some really beautiful specimens. Now what to to do with it? I’m not a sweet-toothed guy at all but my wife likes vitamin kicks from self grown fruit very much, so, to preserve them I made her some pear sauce. There are a lot of cool recipes for pear-/apple sauce on the internet, but my girl likes it the simple and natural way, so here’s a very basic formula.
Tenshin Rice Bowl
This seems to be a very popular dish in Japan and – in my opinion – for a good reason. It’s named after the chinese city of Tianjin where it seems to originate from. It’s fried egg with seafood over rice, literally drowned in a savoury gravy.
Give it a try, it’s easy, satisfying and delicious! Here’s how to cook it:
Fusion Style Pantry Raid
So todays grass widower’s dinner was thin “soy sauce wine and butter beef slices” with a side of “miso XO noodles”. Yeah! And you know what? It was really good!
Raiding the fridge and kitchen cabinet yielded this: Beef slices, a pack of plain asian noodles, some spring onions and a remnant of miso. The rest were staple ingredients that I always have ready at hand. This was the real “Alex-being-at-a-loss Fusion Cuisine” 🙂
Cevapcici Spice Mix
I made Cevapcici yesterday evening doing something that I normally never do: I used a pre-made spice mix. This one is from a small local northern germany company (“Frau Poppes“) selling a variety of mixed herbs and spice blends. Generally I like it best to season to my own liking and with my own supplies, but I can really recommend this particular one. Besides, they support a german blind peoples society with their sales.
