Acorn Squash, a Treasure of Nature
When the cinnamon aroma delightfully fills the air with culinary expectations, I automatically drop into a good mood. After the squash has cooled a bit, serve it in dessert bowls.
A Squashing Gourd Time with Butternut
MY REVIEW: Butternut is an interesting experiment. After you learn to cut the cubes, you can make stews for 16 persons (double the recipe) from one butternut squash. I liked the chili, but in the end this is clearly a “bean lovers soup.”
Stir Up a Breakfast with Poha
First, heat up the frying oil and add the mustard seeds. When they crackle, reduce the heat to medium light. Then throw in the peanuts and roast them toasty (5 min).
Add diced onion and pepper to the wok and stir-fry the masala until onions seem glazed
Rainy Days in Germany
Ya-ha, that was a pretty exceptional day. Otherwise, the heavens poured down water as if pushing us to rebuild Noah’s Arc. On TV, we watched people being washed out of their homes along the Danube River. Many residents tried to sandbag their storefronts in Passau, but to no avail.
My CHAI Tea Recipe
In the British movie comedy, East Is East, with Om Puri as strict Pakistani patriarch, tea plays an important role during marriage negotiations and fish & chip store breaks. The head of the family likes to show moderation by asking for “half a cup.”
Baked Tandoori Chicken, Our Party Favorite
Prepare chicken pieces by trimming off excess fat pockets. In a large bowl, stir all the ingredients together for the yogurt marinade. The marinade will turn an orange color.
EAT RULES: Why German Girls Don’t Get Fat
Wenn es am besten schmeckt, muss man aufhören.
When the pleasure is at its peak, you must stop eating.
Bummer, right? Well, that is some German stoicism that I unfortunately can’t spare you. If you follow this rule, you will never overeat.
Arm & Hammer für alles
Dieses Arm & Hammer ist ein wahres Wundermittel, wie ich nach mehr als 20 Jahren in Amerika feststellte. Eigentlich gewundert hatte ich mich schon lange. Speziell darüber warum so ein großes Aufhebens über baking soda gemacht wird.
Omelet with Herbs
Whisk up 6 to 8 eggs with 3/4 cup of milk and pour the mixture into a large, hot, buttered, nonstick frying pan. Let this set for ca. 5 minutes.
In der Vortex
Ich wusste ja gar nicht, dass ich wohl schon zum siebten Mal bei der berühmtesten Vortex weilte. Die liegt am Oak Creek genau am meist fotografierten Spot, weil da im Hintergrund der mächtige Cathedral Rock thront. Hingezogen fühlte ich mich dazu schon immer. An diesem einmaligen Plätzchen hat man nichts als schöne Natur und den beruhigenden Lauf des Wassers um sich. Abschalten. Zeit vergessen. Ins Wasser tauchen.
