Just a snapshot of the Spaghetti dish that my mother prepared for us when I visited her one evening. It’s a very simple meal but I always liked Spaghetti. But who doesn’t? The photo was taken with my smartphone but I like the photo. I wondered how many food-related posts I already have on my blog and checked it now. I have 105 foodie-posts but of course, they’re all about the photos. Continue reading Spaghetti
This is incredibly tasty, we call it “Rettich” in Germany. I actually tried to translate it but found out it is called “radish” in English, which is strange. Why? Because it seems the same word is used for another type of vegetables, the one we call Radieschen. I have no clue why “Radieschen” and “Rettich” are both called “radish” in English. Yes, they taste similar but they look very different. How do you distinguish if someone sends you to purchase “radish”? Continue reading Rettich
Sitting at my mother’s balcony and eating radishes. We like them a lot. I took the photo with my phone. So far, the summer was more like a mix of autumn and spring but since yesterday it’s pretty hot. So, it’s time to enjoy the weather on the balcony together with my mother but we have the awning lowered. It’s a good day, how is yours? Continue reading Radishes and Good Weather

And it was extremely delicious… Continue reading Bratwurst and Fried Potatoes
I am cooking every day now as I rediscovered the benefits. Some days ago, I made fried potatoes with fried eggs and somehow I wanted to eat green beans too. Apart from many other sauces, I had this delicious cream sauce in my kitchen cupboard. I wondered if it would taste good if I just through the green beans into the sauce and did that. Damn, I remembered that my mother once did the same and I just rediscovered how fantastic this combination is. So, I ended up with a meal that I would call “Fried potatoes with fried eggs … Continue reading Fried Potatoes with Fried Eggs and a Green Beans Cream Sauce
Did I Live Inexpensively Enough? Recently, I had a realization about something again I already knew but didn’t implement into my lifestyle often enough. I do cook sometimes, but the big word here is “sometimes”. Sometimes? It could mean anything from one to three days per week but barely more often than that. And the remaining days I am just lazy and use convenience food and I definitely found my favorites there. So, it was a mix of both, cooking and using convenience food. Apart from that, I usually shopped for a number of groceries which would be enough for … Continue reading Rediscovered: The Food Lesson
