lady_kareliaI think our guests liked the food. There is about a spoonful of sauerkraut left and two pieces of cake.
Something to nibble on while waiting for the water to boil for the Semmelknoedel (dumblings made with bread, egg, parsley). Oh, yes, those are cars on the table. We had a mini-gourmet present, and he thought it a good idea to decorate the table.
This is the bowl in the middle in the above pic: feta cheese, straight out of the brine, served with a sprinkling of rosemary and virgin olive oil. It lasted about, oh, I dunno, 40 seconds or thereabouts. :P
From left to right: invisible sauerkraut, stuffed mushrooms, Bratkartoffeln (fried potatoes), and cheese souffle.
Semmelknoedel
Rahmkuchen (sour cream cake)
And because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stefdarlin wanted to know:
The Aerogarden just before XMyth...
... and tonight. The right tomato plant has two green tomatoes, each about the size of a baby's finger nail and several more flowers. The one on the left doesn't show any yet, but it's been growing at a slightly slower pace. The pepper in the front (middle) isn't showing any flowers yet either, but they're all developing quite enthusiastically. :) The light arm is at its highest now, and I have to prune branches about twice a week.
Damn. I forgot to take a pic of the Sauerbraten, the beef that's been lying in a marinade of vinegar, water, carrots, celeriac, and several spices (mustard seed, cloves, bay leaves, salt, pepper).
Okay, my guys obligingly emptied the dishwasher, so I guess I've run out of excuses that justify procrastination... :)
