Duvel

That is … interesting. Where does that combo originate ?

Greek-ish dinner … Some meze (plus a glass of non-pictured ouzo) … Pork souvlaki (off the skewer) with tzaziki and broad been hummus … Satisfactory 🤗

Haddock, fried in beer batter, on a brioche bun with home made tartare sauce and some air frier fries. Curry sauce. A Guinness for good measure. And only a crappy picture because I was hungry 🙃

Well ... some chickens lost their lives.

The lupin of the sea ...

Chicken nuggets ?

Normally, on Sundays we have pizza & movie night. This Sunday, however, I binge-watched a couple of episodes of Shinya Shokudō while enjoying some dried squid & smoked scallops and a Suntory highball … This in turn led to some Izakaya-themed dinner (while my pizza dough went into cold storage) … Found this excellent sake in the cellar … Enjoyed with mixed pickles … Karaage … Rolled omelette with mentaiko (spicy cod roe) and gyoza (commercial product, Ajinomoto) … Yummy - and again no room for dessert 🤗

With the other two gone over the weekend it’s dinner for one … Aperitif: Raki, olives, goat cheese … Braised neck of lamb with all the fixings … Shredded 8h neck of lamb with garlic, onions, cumin and smoked peppers … Braised beans (added to the lamb casserole for the last 3h), grilled peppers, aubergines with tomato, cinnamon and pine nuts. Veggies & condiments. Fresh cheese gözleme from my favorite bakery in Mannheim … All served with griddled arabic bread … Yummy ! And got some leftovers for tomorrow 🤗

It‘s a slimming ice cream project …

Thank you - please keep it coming 🙏

Heresy. Please consider that your suggestion might hurt literally more than a billion peoples* feelings, whose bombilla become useless overnight … —- * or their only true mouthpieces …

They are not: they are essntially tiny filtration devices designed to separate solids from a low viscosity liquid (yerba mate / tea laves, and in its non-sanctioned rogue usage for bubble tea / tapioca pearls). If you like to drink a smooth, high viscosity liquid you'll be looking for a large diameter straw that doesn't add addtional pressure loss to your slurping process by an additional filter.

I think it might be tricky to fabricate a bombilla without using metals (c.f. here), but I wouldn’t exclude it. Maybe @BonVivant has some insights from his visits to Latin America.

Nope. Because the utensil in question is a traditional straw used to prepare Yerba Mate.

In Germany, Schweinshaxe is always made with uncured pork shanks. Cured ones are boiled and served as Eisbein ...

No, I haven’t yet. Problem is that I am the only one in my household partial to blue cheese. And when my dad is around (who loves a good bleu as well), I do his favorite spinach, roasted garlic and blue cheese instead. Maybe in the following weeks I‘ll sneak in a half of pear & blue. Must be yummy 😎

Pizza & movie night … Deviating from our routine little one requested Pizza Hawaii, made with fresh pineapple and smoked bacon. Very good … And meatball & mushrooms, using up yesterdays (semi-spicy) Italian meatballs … Enjoyed while watching Mary and the Witch‘s flower … No complaints 🤗

As you have a lot, go with the new recipe and give it a try …

Then go to a farm that really values its customers (and show your commitment to the cause) 😎 https://www.daiowasabi.co.jp

I hope you‘ll enjoy it. If you present your friends with it you can label it Bratkartoffelgewürz (lit. „spice for home fries“) …

You can find the recipe for the spice mix here …

Leftovers in a nice presentation …

Thanks for supporting with the maths … I was reluctant to post, as 750 mL in my household is only half a serving 🫢

I do drink a lot of Chimay and I do have a soda maker. Unless your economy works very different than mine, two or three button punches of CO2 on a SodaStream(tm) will be significantly cheaper than a 0.75L bottle of Chimay Blue …

It‘s a tool for people lacking the upper body strength to cut through a chicken bone with a wimpy cleaver. Used to be a fad with HK housewifes …
