Baked Eggs and Spinach in Ricotta and Parmesan

It’s cold outside. And rainy. And generally clammy and deterrent – I’m so, so done with this wintery weather. A good time for hot, filling and delicious comfort food, served with toasted bread, directly from the pan.


Pickled Cauliflower and Green Beans

I made pickled cauliflower and beans using lactic acid fermentation. I know these from my childhood where it was served as an extra to various home-style dishes.

It is basically the same practice as for making Sauerkraut but with some different spices added and a little blanching beforehand. The veggies here are both larger and more firm than thin cabbage slices used for Sauerkraut, and in order to become more pleasant they need a little treatment in advance. I’ll know more in about two weeks.


Fallout Inspired Plant Stand

I’m a passionate Fallout 4 player and one of the many decorative things you can create in Fallout’s settlement system are various plant stands. I like that style and made my own, inspired by the one in the screenshot.


Wild Bee Hotel

I learned a little about wild bee hotels the past few days and decided it would be a nice winter project to make one for later installation in spring. My personal little “green hell” is presumably already pretty suitable for bees, but I like the idea of supporting the little fellows a bit – also against the (only just a little selfish 🙂 ) background of facilitating the pollination of my veggie plants.


Pan-Sauteed Spinach

It’s the notorious predicament of cooking spinach: You end up with a result that is a mere fraction of what you put in 🙂

Nonetheless, it’s a delicious and healthy side while very simple to make. Here’s how:

Hilde Went Over the Rainbow Bridge Yesterday

My pretty, little, good girl Hilde died from a colic yesterday 🙁 She was one of the “senior staff” in the flock and the real leaderess of the pack. She gifted us many delicious eggs, always lively and cheerful.

Unfortunately, most sick animals won’t let you recognize any symptoms or weaknesses until it’s far too late, so we might not have reacted in good time. Sickness, winter and humid cold seem to have tipped her over the edge. Although we kept her warm and cozy close to the radiator in our living room, and – following the vet’s recommendation – giving her vitamins and concentrated food, she finally didn’t make it. 

Poor little Hilde, I hope she lived her best chicken life in my backyard chicken’s playground.
