    Dinner 2023

    Visiting my sister. While they & little one were enjoying Cologne, I had to work a bit. They requested a „light dinner“ upon returning, so I made do with what I could get in the vicinity … Enjoyed with a Bavarian beer … BIL was so happy with the focaccia I had to write him down the „recipe“ 🤭
  2. I think you need to go longer at a slightly higher temperature … please refer to this. @mgaretz is the master of SV tri tip - maybe he can weigh in …

    I feel that somehow as a cook - and we all are, that’s why we are here - you have the urge to please your audience. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But at the end you always go to great lengths to make your eaters happy: with multiple dishes, multiple courses, that one special dish, that difficult to get ingredient…

    Dinner 2023

    Bit of a rough week at work, so food needs to be simple and satisfying: Linguine (No. 7 from De Cecco) and Italian pork meatballs simmered in a onion/butter/tomato sauce. Basil, Parmigiano, black pepper. Plus 1 (ok, maybe 2) Duvel 🤭 TGIF tomorrow !

    Dinner 2023

    Pizza & Movie night, full family edition … Thanks to my parents visit I could make four pizzas tonight 🤗 Salami, sweet ham and mushrooms (aka Speziale in pretty much every pizzeria in Germany, although I‘d rather call it Standard) … My fathers request: fresh spinach & blue cheese (here: Saint Agur) … My moms (and my wifes, too) request: tuna & onions … And the „leftover pie“: grilled meatballs, onions, goat cheese and mushrooms … All enjoyed while starting to watch the new Disneys Peter Pan & Wendy. After 15 min we unanimously decided to stop the movie and watch the 1953 classic instead. I do like that Tinker Bell. No complaints 🥳

    Thanks … although I probably selfishly enjoyed it as much as him ☺️

    Breakfast 2023

    With my parents visiting, I do stray a bit from my usual weekend routine: My father asked if we could have “that breakfast we had in Dublin” (many years ago). Had to improvise a bit, but … Made him happy 🤗
  11. I don’t understand where you take the 1 Tbs = 2 tsp equivalent from. From what I see (at least on the left glass), it says 1 Tbs = 4 tsp (the “one”being on the very left). From there it counts up. So only the first Tbs is divided into 4 tsp. The little “2” on the right side of the bracket reads - with the “one” above as “1/2” to me, which in turn is 2 tsp … I think one could easily verify by filling water up to the different measures and weight the whole thing …
  12. For me, the Seville one was ok-ish. The flavor is there, but subtle. But truth to be told: Orange flavor doesn’t work for me in G&T, so it didn’t really had a chance to win me over. The Rangpur lime one is by far the most popular one in Germany, but for me the lime flavor was a tad too artificial. That might change at higher dilution, but I prefer my G&Ts on the strong side, so … The Malacca, however, hit the right spot. Crisp lemon flavor, with the herbal notes just a little upped to balance it out. Quite harmonious. Put a slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary and it makes a great G&T.

    Dinner 2023

    My parents decided to come over the weekend, much to the delight of little one (and us, of course). When I asked them what they would like to eat, as usual they said Abendbrot (bread & cold cuts). So … made a focaccia & a mixed rye … Plus cheeses, cold cuts, otger snacks and some fresh Mett my father brought from my hometown. Fresh bread and Mett - cannot get better than this ! Happy evening 🤗

    In this context, the answer might be Lüttje Lage* or at least some Doppelkorn before their shift … —- Sorry, link only in German. Please use Google translate …

    At least in Germany this is considered to be a different plant … Me too, no argument there …

    But then he has to give her a fighting chance - kale needs to be boiled into submission with copious amounts of pork products … not served as a salad. And again: all the food options in the world and kale salad 😱

    Amaretto

    Served warm ..?! Sounds like a challenge to the gastrointestinal system …

    Soooo … from someone who can expertly cook anything, he requests kale salad ?!
  22. Larger diameter, cold starting material, very high heat ?
