Home Cooking

It's been a while since we had some honest homemade foodz! We visited multiple supermarkets, finding fault with every single one, but eventually we had enough ingredients to at least make this simple pasta.

Neo

Also, we have housemates now. Pictured above is the sweet one: Neo.

Weezer

The red cat is Weezer. He is a bit of a dick.

Here is the start of Anke's email to our landlords today:

Subject: an update from Neo, Weezer, Frans and Anke

Hi Bill and Linda,

We hope you had a good trip to Rome, and that you are having a great time!

Neo: I miss you very much, but the new humans are working out well. I
spend my time eating, sleeping, pooping, and being adorable and getting
lots of attention. So I am not much different from my usual self! The
new humans also made me play with a mouse on a piece of string, but that
was not really my thing. Bye now, I am off to have a wash!

Weezer: Unlike traitor Neo, I have bravely tried to defend the house
against these two intruders. At first, I thought they would surely leave
in a couple of hours, like they did last time. But no, they even had the
audacity to go up to your bedroom. You will be proud to learn that I
confronted them head on, and sunk my teeth into their legs.
Unfortunately, they still did not leave. Whenever I try to attack now,
they talk to me in a deep and loud voice. I have no idea what they are
saying, but I don't like it, so I now keep a low profile. They try to
curry favors with me, by playing with me, or giving me cat treats (oh, I
love those!), but I do my best to stay true to you, and keep my grumpy
demeanor.

Anke & Frans: [...]

You guys get the picture, we are having a blast!

Great Food

Jausenbrettl

After these photo ops on the Mairspitze, we arrived at the Nürnberger Hütte. We enjoyed the sun, and their spectacularly good food!

Hauswurst

There was home smoked bacon, Hauswurst, great cakes etc. Also beer.

Gröstl

Goulash mit Knödel

Schlutzkrapfen

And a "Tris" of Schlutzkrapfen, Käseknödel and some other deliciousness. Many good reasons to stay overnight in huts!

Apologies for Lightposting

Spaghetti Bolognese

We still eat some of the time --- pictured above is A's "kinderfeestje" birthday meal spaghetti bolognese --- but we are mostly focused on moving.

Moving

It's going well, though. Yesterday the movers came and took the stuff that we are shipping. Everything was carried down by only one person, who turned out to be 68 years old!

Today most large items that we sold will be picked up. Tomorrow we will be cleaning the apartment.

Pasta and Eggplant

Pasta, Fennel, Arugula

On two separate days, that is. Yesterday the evergreen pasta with fennel and arugula, thanks to Ellen for the recipe, and the day before...

Karnıyarık

... karnıyarık, the taste of which I really love, but the looks of which gives me a split belly --- it is so hard to make a decent picture of this eggplant.

Another favorite: Peppers, feta and preserved lemons.

Chicory

The colors may be a little off, the flavor was not.

Pasta a la Mama

Pasta

Even though Lies never made this before, we have christened this dish "Pasta a la Mama". She even went to the shop twice to get ripe avocados!
