This Week's Food

We had another week of great foodz. First of all: Blanquette de Veau.



We put a few too many fava beans in this otherwise not too bad pasta.



Extremely simple and tasty: pasta diavola.



Blackeyed peas and sucuk from one of the Turkish store in Saarbrücken.



And here are two of our favorite Chinese dishes (that we can make ourselves) again: five spice pork and yu xiang qiezi.

We're Back!

Things in Germany seem to take forever and a day, as exemplified by us getting an internet connection. Hence our long break in posting, for which I profusely apologize.

Here then some pictures to prove that we still ate, even without an internet connection:



Minced Lamb with Cherries



Vietnamese Beef Stew (better than in Vietnam)



Veal with Celeriac and Spinach



Meatz, Mushroom Sauce, Spaetzle and Brussel Sprouts



Leg of Lamb

Bad Pictures of (Reasonably) Good Food

We went to Zum Adler yesterday. This restaurant was recommended by A's new boss when we visited, but was completed booked when we tried it then. This time we were a bit earlier, and they still had a free table. The Flammkuchen with Münster and kümmel was very enjoyable, the veal kidneys not too shabby. (The desserts, however, were of such a quality that the server worriedly asked whether we did not like it when she came to pick up the dishes.)

I don't know what to call this post

I still feel a bit overwhelmed with the new impressions. But F says I should post nonetheless because otherwise you guys will get bored and will stop visiting our blog. So here is my attempt at a blog post:

1. We are so happy to be doing some impulse buying again! There was way too little of that in China because it was hard to find quality goods for impulsive buying. We will try to make up for two years of not buying any junk, starting with these beautiful 1 liter beer glasses.


2. As F already mentioned, we cook a lot in our temporary big kitchen. Here's some veal with a caper-lemon-butter sauce.


3. Our new bikes are the best! Here they are in front of a house of which we may end up renting the ground floor.


4. The university is smack in the middle of this:


5. A little farther afield (30 minutes by bike) is France, where we ate this:

Tea-roasted old veal and warm eggplant butternut squash salad

The recipe called for veal, and we do not discriminate on age.

We should though.
