As I’m still not able to move around a lot and freely, I’m cooking a lot these days and I’m growing a serious set of love handles from it… For the first time, I appreciate the benefits of the small northern germany kitchen: Almost everthing I need is within an arm’s reach and I don’t have to stress the broken knee too much.
After rummaging around in the freezer, I found some pike perch fillets and so here’s yesterday’s dinner:
Another simple dish from the clay pot, aka “Römertopf“, and, after some experience with it now, some conclusions for my part. But first the recipe:
So we heard some tippity-tappity, some scratching and a low clopping from the attic again. The lady of the house was super-interested as well and so we decided to set up a trap and a camera again to see if we could pinpoint somebody. Seems we have a tiny little subtenant in the house again 🙂
I came up with this dressing a long time ago and it’s been an evergreen in my kitchen ever since. Simple and delicious – the magic lies in the tyrolian pumpkin seed oil (“steirisches Kernöl”).
My profoundly disappointed lady of the house, watching the sunny but chilly world from her observation platform on the windowsill.
Then she reluctantly crawled back into her blanket fort.
I’m not so much of a mobile person at the moment due to my recent kneecap-incident that I’m currrently recovering from. But you can always make soup! We had a lot of snowfall the last days and a warm and hearty soup is a winter evening’s delight: Here’s my roasted cauliflower soup:
I stumbled upon this on the internet and had to grin. Damn, it’s been years since I played a nice game of poker with some friends.
I’m always glad for hits on my recipes – gives me a feeling that some people out there do indeed benefit a little from this website. Here’s what you all clicked most in 2020. Thanks!
Wired Patella
Learning new things is a lifetime undertaking. So what have I, personally, learned in the last days?
Well, a “patella“, commonly known as kneecap, is an elaborate, delicate and enormously important component of the human body. Not only does it produce funny movements when it’s tendon is hit with a reflex hammer, it also enables you to perform some fundamental tasks, like flexing and straightening your knee (see a good demonstration here). Cool little gadget, right?
However – and I cannot stress this enough – it is NOT intended to make acquaintance with a driveway pavement at fall velocity and with the kinetic energy of around 100 kg of body weight as additional thrust. In this case, although scrupulously designed and crafted only from premium-quality materials, it will most likely just shatter.
Not funny, not pleasing, surgically challenging and certainly not a a short timer. What have you learned these days 🙂 ?
