Political Post

Apologies for a political intermezzo, but I really needed to comment on Eric Holder's drone speech.

Business as usual

We will just ignore the fact that our world has been turned upside down, in that we now no longer have to fear attacks by the original bogeyman, but that, on the other hand, the word "justice" said by a constitutional law professor has taken on a different meaning than the one we thought it had. Oh well, whatever.

We started a Chinese restaurant. It is called 福.




At the restaurant, we serve Zhajiangmian (炸酱面).



Because we have no business sense whatsoever, we will now give you F's secret recipe as well:

" Almost all recipes for 炸酱面 I found online use minced meat. I tried to emulate the noodles of a specific restaurant in Beijing, however (one that is famous for its 炸酱面). I think they use julienned pork belly, so I used unsmoked bacon. Other ingredients are onions, celery, which were fried with the bacon; then I added the fermented soy bean paste and some hoi sin sauce. This sauce is then placed on top of some noodles, together with some finely chopped vegetables (I used celery, spring onions, rettich (radish) and cucumber --- could further add soy beans and bean sprouts for example). Mix up well and enjoy."

Fail

Today we went to the Christkindlmarkt to eat sausage in honor of the repeal of DADT. Somehow, we are a little tired of sausage, so we ate Germknödel instead (kind of the opposite thing I guess). Moreover, the camera refused to focus, and the screen showed all kinds of psychedelic colors, probably because of the cold. Multifail.

Here then just a picture in honor of the repeal of DADT:

A Little Behind in Posting

Anke made a wonderful pasta with fava beans today:



Earlier this week we had another quiche:



And finally, in honor of the extension of the tax cuts: Mush from the Wimp.
