  1. After a Sunday full of chores and little house repairs I felt too lazy to cook - which happens very seldom, as chopping things up relaxes me after a busy day.

    Thankfully, I had some frozen puff pastry in the freezer and a few no-cook ingredients at hand. 5 min prep yielded an asparagus & goat cheese tarte with bacon... It was consumed even faster.

  2. While the rest of the family enjoy their pancakes with fresh berries and honey, I much prefer a salty option, which came today in the form of an egg-topped pancake-wich ...

  3. An imported Cote du Boeuf from Strasbourg, before they locked Alsacia down ... I didn’t feel like SV today, so I cooked it conventionally 😱

    Note to self: have to buy a nice wooden copping board for better tableside presentation.
     

    Served with (commercial) potato croquettes and mushroom cream sauce.

  4. Normally, Sunday night is pizza night. But what in these times is still normal ? When weekdays and weekends blend into each other in self-confinement, it is only appropriate to react with the outmost flexibility - even if it means to have pizza night on Wednesday (accompanied by the lovely “Peter Rabbit” movie) ...

    I tried to stretch the dough completely on the working bench - and felt the crust turned out more airy than usual. To be repeated ...

  5. Quick one: Matjesbrötchen with homemade tartar sauce. Normally, I would enjoy it @Anna N style with an ice-cold aquavit, but I still have a couple of home office duties in the afternoon 🙄

    So how buckwheat percent is your soba? I spent time with a Japanese Uber driver today who wanted to engage in soba discussion.


    I used organic 100% buckwheat soba, curtesy of a Japanese friend visiting last year ...

  7. Cold soba with shrimps, green asparagus and an onsen egg (SV, 45 min @ 63 oC). Warm mentsuyu added, as well as nori, sesame & scallions. Japanese enough to hit the spot ... 🤗

  8. Confit de canard, SV 30h @ 68 oC. I rubbed the duck legs with curing salt (pink salt) to give it a stronger flavor. It worked well. Rosemary instead of thyme, and lots of garlic. Roasted in the oven just before serving.

    Accompanied by cheesy cauliflower gratin, with a handful of sweet peas thrown in for good measure. Little one asked for thirds 🥳 ...

    I thought long and hard.  There was asparagus to use up and I had a nice potato.  Dinner was two hour baked potato and four minute blanched asparagus.  Perfect.  No matter what @Duvel might say.

     


    Please do go on like this ... but watch out for potential weight loss: regardless what you might think, imaginary food does not supply calories 😉

  10. „My“ Döner shop has closed down - temporarily, as they have announced - and I do hope that they‘ll start up again after the total lockdown has been lifted. So, today we had a faux Döner, made from leftover suckling pig shoulder, augmented with a couple of felafel... It is not the same, but will hold me until they open again !

    I saw the picture before reading the title, and thought: „How clever, a blood sausage  pizza with parsley“ ...

     

    Now you‘ve got me thinking !

    He might not get the reference.

     


    Why ... because I have never been to „the Show-me state“ ?

  13. The first of the German states has announced a complete lock-down and it is expected that the others will follow over the course of the weekend.

     

    As „going out for buying Mett“ will most likely not qualify as a reason to break the curfew, I decided to enjoy a Mettbrötchen tonight 🤗

  14. Roasted suckling pig shoulder with bread dumplings and braised onion w/ Parmigiano. A basic white to go with it. Yummy food made without any trip to the supermarket 😉
