My bentos are usually not that special. I like vegetables without spices and I don't like sauces that much. Instead I'll try to make them interesting with edible flowers.
My garden is feral, but I want to grow vegetables in it like we used to when I was a child. I also grow small vegetables and herbs on my balcony.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.comBlogger28125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-82775527569325454712015-09-06T22:04:00.004+02:002015-09-08T22:59:46.106+02:00Drei Bentos<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Unter der Woche habe ich im Moment keine Zeit zum Bloggen. Also gibt es immer am Wochenende eine Zusammenfassung der Woche. Liest ja eh keiner hier mit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I don't have time to blog during the week. So I'll update with a summary of the week. Nobody really reads here anyway.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Der Montag ist auf der einen Seite bunt, auf der anderen total langweilig. Aber Deko hätte auch gar nicht mehr reingepasst, ich hab mich bei der Menge der Nudeln wohl etwas überschätzt ^^; Beim Öffnen der Box hatten mich die Nudeln dann irgendwie an Hirn erinnert. Guckt jemand iZombie? XD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Monday was on one hand colourful, on the other hand absolutely boring. But there wouldn't have been a chance for decoration. Measuring noodles isn't that easy ^^; When I opened the box, it looked a bit like brain. Anyone watching iZombie? XD</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Dienstag gab es sogar mal etwas Deko. Die Nudeln waren letztens bei Aldi im Angebot und da die Zutaten ok sind, mussten sie mit. Am Abend vorher hatte ich noch die eine Bohnenpflanze auf meinem Balkon abgeerntet. War aber wohl etwas zu spät, richtig gut schmeckten die Bohnen nicht. Sie waren schon mehr als zwei Wochen erntereif, ich kam nur nicht dazu, sie zu pflücken und zu essen. Nächstes Jahr, oder falls die Bohnen, die ich noch nachgepflanzt habe noch vor dem Frost reif sind, bin ich schlauer. <br />Das eine Böhnchen war auch eher ein Unfall. Ich hatte einige Samen auf einem Papiertuch keimen lassen. Das funktioniert mit Rüben und Blumenkohl wunderbar. Bohnen sind aber wohl zu groß und trocknen deshalb zu schnell. Eine der Bohnen fing dann auch noch an zu schimmeln. Ich kam nicht sofort dazu, sie wegzuschmeißen (ich goss direkt nach dem Aufstehen, geh dann ins Bad und danach hatte ich die Bohne schon wieder vergessen) und sah dann, dass sie plötzlich doch keimte. Ob der Schimmel selbst der Auslöser war oder ob dadurch mehr Feuchtigkeit an der Bohne haften blieb, weiß ich nicht. Jedenfalls landete sie dann in der Erde und wurde ein hübsches kleines Pflänzchen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A little bit of decoration on tuesday. Aldi had these cute noodles in one of the last weeks and as the ingredients are fine I had to buy them. The evening before I harvested the beans on may balcony. It was probably already too late. They already looked ok for two weeks or so, but I couldn't find the time to pick and eat them. Next year, or maybe this year if the other plants will get ripe before it freezes, I'll do it better.<br />This one plant actually was more of an accident. This year I experimented with germination. I put several seeds on a wet cloth. It works with small seeds like turnips. But beans are too big, they get dry too quickly. One of the beans grew mould, but I didn't throw it away immediately. (I watered the seeds after waking up, then went to the bathroom and then... forgot about the bean). Good thing, the bean started to germinate. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Am Mittwoch wollte ich eigentlich gar nicht kochen. Ich bin abends zu spät ins Bett gekommen und hab den Wecker deshalb später gestellt. Morgens war ich dann aber doch früh genug wach und hab lieber gekocht als mir mittags ne Pizza zu holen. Dementsprechend ist das ganze dann auch nur schnell zusammengewürfelt.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Und jetzt ist das Wochenende schon wieder rum und ich hab mal wieder nicht geschafft, irgendwas zu planen *seufz* Aber irgendwann gibt es auch wieder interessante Bentos. </span>Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-35479229570999644892015-08-30T22:10:00.000+02:002015-08-30T22:10:19.337+02:00Neuer Job, neue Bentos / New Job, new bentos<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Es ist ewig her, dass ich Bentos gemacht habe. Nachdem mein Arbeitgeber an einen neuen Ort gezogen ist, hatte ich plötzlich sehr viel weniger Zeit. Zuerst wurden meine Bentos unkreativ, schließlich gab ich es ganz auf. Auf der Arbeit gab es eine kleine Küche und ich aß meistens Fertiggerichte. Da gibt es hier ja glücklicherweise eine Firma, die brauchbare herstellt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Meine Bentoboxen verstaubten also und die Zutaten wurden anderweitig verwendet. Ein letzter Rest Furikake hat bis heute überlebt (obwohl der auch gut als Notfall-Nudelsoßengewürz taugt).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's been ages since I last made bentos. As my work moved to a different place I had much less time every day. First my bentos became boring. Then I gave it up at all. At my work was a little kitchen and I mostly ate bought food. At least there is a company which makes decent convenience food.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So my bento boxes got dusty and the ingredients were used up for other meals. A bit of furikake ist still left (even though it's pretty good as a spice for noodle sauces). </span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ich war eine zeitlang arbeitslos, da war auch keine Gelegenheit für Bentos. Nun habe ich einen neuen Job. Ich habe zwar auch wieder eine lange Fahrtzeit und dadurch unter der Woche kaum noch Freizeit. Aber dort gibt es keine Möglichkeit zu kochen oder Gefrorenes zu lagern. Ständig etwas bestellen geht auf Dauer zu sehr ins Geld und wird auch schnell langweilig. Mal davon abgesehen, dass man keine Kontrolle über die Zutaten hat. Also nehme ich das jetzt als wunderbare Gelegenheit, wieder in die Welt der Bentos zurückzukehren.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've been unemployed for a while. Now I have a new job. I have a long commute again and not much free time left. But a the new workplace is no kitchen and no chance to store frozen food. Ordering food every day costs too much and would get boring very soon. And you never know, what ingredients they use. So I take this oportunity to come back to the world of bentos.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Meine ersten Versuche sind noch ziemlich unspannend. Ich kam noch nicht dazu, meine Boxen zu waschen oder irgendwas zu planen. Ich hatte auch keinen Dämpfer mehr. Also gab es erstmal nur schnelle Gemüse-Nudeln.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My first meals weren't exciting yet. I hadn't washed my boxes yet and couldn't find the time to plan anything. I also didn't have a steamer anymore. So I just made some quick noodles and vegetables.</span></span><br />

Dabei bin ich dann irgendwie über den Blog <a href="http://waldelfentraum.blogspot.de/">Waldelfentraum</a> gestolpert. Einen Blog über Haare fand ich sehr interessant und ich hab mich den Rest des Tages durch ihren und einen Teil der anderen Blogs des Flechtwerks gelesen. Eine passende Frisur habe ich im Endeffekt nicht gefunden, dafür sehr viel anderes interessantes. Unter anderem die Ankündigung, dass am 15.5. alle zu einem Thema bloggen wollen und sich da jeder anschließen kann. Auch wenn es bei mir bisher nicht um Haare ging, wolte ich das Thema doch nutzen, um meinen Blog mal wieder etwas zu entstauben. Und hab es heute fast wieder vergessen. Deshalb jetzt noch kurz vor Schluss mein kleiner Beitrag, erstmal nur in deutsch <br />

Tja, also warum lange Haare? Weil es mir gefällt, sollte klar sein. Aber was genau gefällt mir daran? Zum einen steht es mir besser. Ich hatte zweimal ausprobiert, wie mir kürzere Haare stehen. Beide Male zwar mit knapp schulterlang eigentlich immer noch nicht kurz, aber für mich war es das. Ich hatte nämlich ansonsten immer lange Haare. Ob ich als Kind mal beim Friseur war, kann ich nicht sagen, aber ich glaube es ehrlich gesagt nicht. Meinen Pony hat immer meine Mutter geschnitten. Die Längen gelegentlich vielleicht auch mal, aber daran kann ich mich auch nicht mehr erinnern. Jedenfalls hatte ich schon in der ersten Klasse Haare bis zur Hüfte, später dann bis zum Hintern, und fand es immer ganz normal. Geändert werden musste das dann, als ich mit knapp 11 Jahren das erste Mal alleine Urlaub gemacht habe. Bis dahin hatte ich mir noch nie die Haare selbst gekämmt. Also ging es zum Friseur und ich hatte nur noch Haare bis zum Kinn. Etwas getrauert habe ich damals schon, aber dass ich meinen Zopf behalten durfte und die Vorfreude auf den Urlaub haben mich gut genug getröstet. In dem Alter ist einem das eigene Aussehen ja auch noch ziemlich egal und meine Haare sind schnell genug wieder auf die alte Länge nachgewachsen.<br />
In der siebten Klasse habe ich mich dann nochmal zu einem größeren Haarschnitt überreden lassen. Ganz überzeugt war ich nicht, aber wenn mehrere Leute sagen, dass das bestimmt gut aussieht... Hätte ich mal auf mein Gefühl gehört. Frisch vom Frisör sah es ja noch gut aus. Knapp schulterlange Haare, schön ums Gesicht gefönt. Ja, in gewisser Weise stand mir das. Im Alltag sah es dann aber ganz schnell anders aus. Mein 'Haarstyling' bestand immer nur daraus, alle Knoten aus den Haaren zu kämmen. Da stehen die Haarspitzen dann natürlich in alle Richtungen und die anfangs so tolle Frisur sieht einfach nur noch blöd aus. Dazu dann noch meine nicht besonders tolle Frisur und die olle Brille. Ich hab mein Aussehen einfach nur gehasst. Und mir geschworen, nie mehr kurze Haare zu haben.<br />

An den Schwur von damals habe ich mich gehalten. Ich war zwar so alle 2 Jahre zum Frisör und musste dabei immer viel mehr Haare lassen, als ich wollte *grrr* Aber sie gingen immer mindestens bis zur Brust.<br />

In der Schulzeit hatte ich immer einen Pferdeschwanz. Nach der Schulzeit waren sie dagegen meistens offen. Da wollte ich einfach nicht mehr so sein wie früher und die Haare gehörten da scheinbar auch dazu. Mittlerweile trage ich sie immer mal wieder anders. Mal offen, mal im Pferdeschwanz, mal einen einfachen geflochtenen Zopf, mal im Dutt oder (wenn ich nicht in die Öffentlickeit muss) einfach irgendwie hochgebunden. Im Alltag sind es immer sehr einfache Frisuren. Mehr Aufwand mache ich mir nur zu besonderen Gelegenheiten. Da ich nicht gern auf Partys oder sonstwie ausgehe, sind diese Gelegenheiten eigentlich fast nur Abschlussbälle. Aber gerade da lohnt es sich ja auch.<br />
<br />
Mein Traum wäre es, wieder Haare wie früher zu haben. Volle Haare bis
zum Hintern. Leider ist da bisher nichts draus geworden. Ein kleiner
Teil wird ja sogar so lang. Aber dann sind die Spitzen so dünn, dass ich
mich doch mal wieder zum Friseur wage. Und bei den meisten ist "so
wenig wie möglich" ja gleich mal mindestens ein halbes Jahr Wachstum.
*seufz*<br />
<br />
<br />
Und was gefällt mir außer meinem Aussehen sonst noch so an langen Haaren?<br />
Es gibt auch Frauen, denen Kurzhaarfrisuren richtig toll stehen. Aber bei den meisten finde ich lange Haare viel schöner. <br />
Ich liebe das Gefühl, wenn mir meine Haare über den nackten Rücken streichen.<br />
Ich
finde Flechtfrisuren wunderschön, auch wenn ich selbst nicht geschickt
genug bin und kaum was hübsches zustande bringe. Aber ich gucke gern bei
anderen. Und ich lasse mir auch sehr gern die Haare flechten.<br />
<br />
Ich
mag lange Haare dabei nicht nur an Frauen. Bei Männern finde ich
längere Haare auch toll und wenn sie gepflegt sind auch unglaublich
sexy.<br />
<br />
Kurze Haare habe ich nur noch, wenn ich eine Perücke auf habe. Da ich cosplaye, ist das mindestens einmal im Jahr der Fall. Eigentlich steht mir das dann auch ziemlich gut. Aber eine Perücke hat
eine ganz andere Haarfülle als meine eigenen Haare und ist normalerweise
gestylt.

Ich sollte öfter mal in der Stimmung zum Bloggen sein. *seufz* </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I didn't post for more than a year again. I should be in the mood to blog more often *sigh*</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Eine gute Freundin war bei mir zu Besuch. Wir gehen zu Walpurgis jedes Jahr zum Mittelalterfest hier in der Nähe. Natürlich in Gewandung. Dieses Jahr war es leider sehr nass und kalt und wir waren nur kurz da und auch nur an einem Tag. Nächstes Jahr wird es hoffentlich wieder besser.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A good friend visited me. Every year at Walpurgis night, we visit a medieval pageant near my home. In proper clothing of course. This year the weather didn't like us. It was cold and rainy. So we didn't stay long and we only went there on one day. Next year will hopefully be better.</span><br />

<span style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Immer, wenn diese Freundin bei mir ist, essen wir bevorzugt asiatisch. Dieses Mal gab es Sushi, Curry, noch mehr Sushi und Misosuppe. Dabei hab ich den letzten Rest meiner gelben Currypaste aufgebraucht. Passenderweise fuhren wir einen Tag nach Hamburg und ich konnte mir neue kaufen. Im Laden stand ich dann vor der Wahl. Welche der fünf Sorten sollte ich nehmen? Die gelbe fand ich sehr gut. Schärfer muss nicht unbedingt sein, also fielen rot und grün erstmal weg. Blieben noch zwei uns beiden unbekannte Sorten, Panang und Matsaman. Ich entschied mich für die lilane Verpackung, also wurde es Panang. Zusätzlich nahm ich noch kleine grüne Auberginen mit. Ich kenne bisher nur unsere großen lilanen und war von denen eher wenig begeistert. Aber die kleinen sollen sehr gut zu Curry passen. Und man soll ja immer mal was neues ausprobieren.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Every time I'm with her, we mostly cook asian recipes. This time we made sushi, curry, even more sushi and miso soup. I used up the rest of my yellow curry paste. Fortunately, we had planned to go to Hamburg for one day, so I could by a new one. But which one? The shop had five sorts of curry paste. I loved the yellow, but I wanted to try something else. I don't like it, if the food is too spicy, so I didn't want red or green either. So I had two types left, Panang and Matsaman, and we didn't know neither of them. I decided to take the purple package, so it was Panang. Additionally I took some small green Thai eggplants with me. I only knew the big purple one so far, and I didn't like them much. But my friend said the small one fit well into a curry. And you should try something new once in a while.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">An dem Tag, an dem meine Freundin abgereist ist, gab es dann Sushi und Misosuppe. Das passte einfach besser, denn die Inarisushitaschen mussten aufgebraucht werden. Unerwarteterweise kamen wir dann aber doch noch dazu, die neue Currypaste zusammen zu probieren. Kurz nach der Abfahrt hat sich nämlich jemand (leider erfolgreich) vor den Zug geschmissen, in dem sie saß. Bis es da dann mal weiterging, war es zu spät und sie wäre mit dem Regionalverkehr nicht mehr bis nach Hause durchgekommen. Leider durfte sie auch keinen schnelleren Zug nehmen. Also fuhr sie wieder zurück zu mir. Lieber einen Tag später daheim als geplant als die Nacht auf einem Bahnhof verbringen zu müssen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The day my friend went home we had sushi and miso soup. We had to use up the inari sushi pouches.<br />But unexpectedly we got to try the new curry paste together. Short after her train had left the station, someone jumped in front of it. Sadly he was successful. After the train moved again it was too late for her to reach her home town. And they didn't let her take a faster train. So she came back to me. It's better to go home a day late than to spend the night at a train station.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Also machten wir uns am nächsten Tag gemeinsam ans Curry. Kartoffeln anbraten, Kokosmilch und Currypaste dazu und kochen lassen. Nach und nach kamen dann noch Rote Bete, eine Möhre, Pastinake, die Auberginen, Tofu, Zucchini und Garnelen dazu. Über das fertige Curry haben wir dann noch ein paar (Rotklee-)Sprossen gegeben. <br />Ich fand das Curry etwas zu scharf, das nächste Mal sollte es etwas weniger von der Paste sein. Geschmacklich fand ich es nicht ganz so gut wie das gelbe Curry, aber ich brauche immer etwas, bis ich neue Geschmacksrichtungen wirklich beurteilen kann und warte mit meinem endgültigen Urteil lieber noch etwas ab. Bei den Auberginen bin ich mir da schon etwas sicherer. Die fand ich zwar essbar, aber nicht lecker. Eigentlich waren sie nur bitter. Das hat sich an den nächsten beiden Tagen (Curry mit einer Dose Kokosmilch reicht bei mir immer für 3-4 Portionen) etwas gebessert, geschmacklich hat sich aber nicht viel getan. Meiner Meinung also nichts, was ich wieder kaufen müsste. Außer vielleicht, jemand verräte mir einen Trick, wie ich die Dinger richtig zubereite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So the next day we made another curry. Fry a potatoe, add coconut milk and curry paste and let it cook. After that we added beetroot, a carrot, parsnip, the eggplants, tofu, zucchini and shrimps. On top of the cooked curry we added some (red clover) sprouts.<br />For me the curry was a bit too spicy. I should add less of the paste the next time. I didn't like the taste as much as a like the yellow curry. But it usually takes some time until I can reall judge a new flavour, so I'll still wait a bit with my final judgement. With the eggplants, I'm quite sure though. They were edible, but not tasty. Just bitter. It was better the next days (curry with a can of coconut milk usually is enough for 3-4 meals), but still not much taste besides the bitterness. So it's nothing I will buy again. Except if someone tells me a trick to prepare them right.</span></span>Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-56713620907153378452013-11-06T16:59:00.002+01:002013-11-06T17:02:16.811+01:00Geburtstagskuchen / Birthday cake<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ich hab lange nichts mehr geschrieben. Ich hab auch lange keine Bentos mehr gemacht. Meine Firma ist Anfang 2012 umgezogen und ich habe jetzt eine ganze Stunde mehr Fahrtzeit. Zusätzlich gehe ich nach der Arbeit öfter zum Sport. Um wenigstens noch ein bisschen Freizeit zu haben, habe ich also aufs Bentomachen verzichtet. Auch wenn ich es sehr vermisse, ich will doch noch etwas mehr als arbeiten, essen, schlafen und Sport machen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's been a while since I wrote something here. I didn't make any bentos for a long while either. The company I work for moved at the beginning of 2012. Now my daily commute is one hour longer. And I started going to the gym last year. So my day is another hour longer for some days of the week. To have at least a little bit of free time I stopped making bentos. I miss it, but I don't want my day to be just work, eat, sleep and a bit of sport.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Es ist mal wieder so weit, mein Geburtstag steht an. Da erwarten die Kollegen leckeren Kuchen. Ich hab also schon einige Zeit vorher nach Rezepten geschaut und neben einigen interessanten Blogs natürlich auch einige tolle Kuchenrezepte gefunden. Meine Wahl fiel schließlich auf den <a href="http://fraeulein-klein.blogspot.de/2013/09/waldspaziergang-und-weier.html">Apfelkuchen mit weißer Schokolade von Fräulein Klein</a>. Apfelkuchen ist nicht so schwer und das mit der Schokolade klang sehr interessant. Also die fehlenden Zutaten gekauft und am Tag vor meinem Geburtstag hab ich mich dann in die Küche gestellt und nach langer Zeit mal wieder was gebacken. Und weil die Gelegenheit günstig war, hab ich beim Backen Fotos gemacht. Ich könnte ja mal wieder bloggen. Diesmal aber auch in Deutsch. So kann ich meine Gedanken schneller aufschreiben und muss es dann hinterher nur übersetzen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's that time of the year again, my birthday. I have to bring a cake to work. The days before I was already looking through interesting blogs, looking for cake recipes. I decided to make the <a href="http://fraeulein-klein.blogspot.de/2013/09/waldspaziergang-und-weier.html">Apple pie with white chocolate by Fräulein Klein</a>. Making apple pie isn't that complicated and the chocolate sounds yummy. So I bought all the missing ingredients and blocked the kitchen on the evening before my birthday. It's been a while, since I last baked something. And because this would be a good opportunity to blog again, I made photos. I decided to blog in German and English, because I'm a lot faster writing my thoughts down in German. And then I translate it to Englisch. I still need to practice,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Beim Zusammensuchen der Zutaten stellte ich fest, dass unsere 'süßen' Gewürze vor einer Weile ausgemistet wurden. Das meiste war schon viel zu alt und kam weg. Und bisher hat noch niemand den Vorrat wieder aufgefüllt. Also gibt es keinen Kardamom und keinen Zimt für den Kuchen. Das wird auch so klappen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While I was gathering the ingredients, I was remindet that we got rid of a lot of the 'sweet' spices a while ago. Most of them were way too old. And so far we didn't by much to fill up the stash. So there wont be cardamom or cinnamon in my cake. But I'm sure it will be ok like this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Uh, sowas hab ich noch nie gemacht. Aber hauptsache, der Behälter kippt nicht um und kommt nicht an den Topfrand, oder? Mit meinen selbstgeschnitzten Löffeln ließ er sich gut festklemmen und nachdem mir einmal das Wasser übergekocht ist (ein Hoch auf Induktionsherde, bei denen das total unkritisch ist) schmolz die Schokolade langsam vor sich hin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Uh, this is the first time, I'm doing this. But as long as the bowl doesn't turn over (right word?) and doesn't touch the pot, everything should be all right, shouldn't it? I used my selfmade wooden spoons to hold in in position. After the water boiled over once (yay for induction cookers), the chocolate was slowly melting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Die Butter kam kurz auf den Behälter mit der Schokolade, damit sie weich wurde. Zucker abwiegen und ab in die Rührschüssel. Anfangs hing die Butter natürlich erstmal in den Rührhaken fest. Also regelmäßig da raus kratzen und irgendwann wurde es eine cremige Masse.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I put the butter in top of the pot with the chocolate to make it a bit soft. Then I weighed the sugar and put both in the mixing bowl. At first the butter was constantly drawn into the beaters. So I had to scrape it out a couple of times. But eventually everything became a soft mixture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Und wieder etwas neues. Wie kratzt man denn so eine Vanilleschote aus? Irgendwie ging es dann schon. Auch wenn das Vanillemark so pur irgendwie seltsam schmeckt. Ist die Schote vielleicht schon zu alt gewesen? Eine neue hatte ich gekauft, aber welche von den dreien das war, kann ich nicht mehr sagen. Naja, wird schon passen. Alles weiter vermixen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And again something new. How do you scrape a vanilla bean? I think I did quite well for my first time. Vanilla pulp tastes weird. Was the bean already too old? I bought a new one, but I don't know if I took it, because there were three in my cupboard. Well, it will be ok. Just keep stirring. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Die Schokolade aus dem Gefäß kratzen dauert... Aber irgendwann war es geschafft. Und der Rest vom Löffel geschleckt. Mhm, flüssige Schokolade :3 Mehl und Mandeln abwiegen und Backpulver dazu. Etwas mehr als angegeben, denn das Zeug ist schon ne ganze Weile abgelaufen. Aber sowas wird ja nicht schlecht.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Was mach ich denn mit dem Rest Mandeln. Da muss demnächst wohl noch ein Kuchen her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Getting the chocolate out of the bowl takes a while... But eventually it was done and I could lick the rest off the spoon. Mhm, melted chocolate :3 Weigh flour and almonds and add the baking powder. A bit more than the recipe says, because "best before" was quite some time ago. But something loke this can't get go bad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I only used half of the almond package. I think I have to bake another cake soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Zum Einfetten muss das Butterpapier herhalten. Muss da nicht eigentlich noch Grieß oder Paniermehl oder sowas dran? Grieß ist keiner da (argh), also etwas Paniermehl. Ich hoffe, das ist ok ^^;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Mein Handy sagt nun erstmal "zu wenig Akku fürs Fotolicht". Ok, also aufladen. Kann ich nebenbei ja schon mal aufräumen. Und die Vanilleschote in Zucker legen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I used the wrapping of the butter to grease the pan. Doesn't it need semolina or breadcrumbs or something like that? I didn't have any semolina (argh), so I used a bit of breadcrumbs. I hope this is ok ^^;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My smartphone said "not enough battery to use flash light". Ok, so I'll let it charge. In the meantime I can clean up a bit. And put the rest of the vanilla bean into sugar.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Nach 30 Minuten bin ich nachsehen gegangen. Einmal schnell ein Foto vom Zwischenstand schießen. Oh schreck, der ist ja schon so dunkel. Stäbchenprobe am Rand, ok. Sollte der schon so viel schneller fertig sein als angegeben? Stäbchenprobe in der Mitte, noch halb roh. Aaaah, was jetzt? Erstmal Hitze runter. Alufolie drüber. Im Internet nachlesen. Hitze runter ist doof, da wird der Kuchen trocken. Also wieder hochgestellt, Alufolie nochmal fester rangedrückt und die restlichen 20 Minuten abwarten. Stäbchenprobe in der Mitte, immer noch nicht viel besser. Also nochmal 10 Minuten. Und nochmal 10 Minuten. Die Mitte ist immer noch recht weich, die Äpfel liegen wohl doch zu dicht. Aber so langsam muss er raus, zu dunkel ist er ja eh schon. Und ich hätte schon längst im Bett sein sollen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After 30 minutes I went into the kitchen to take a picture. Oh no, why is the cake already so dark? Skewer test at outside: ok. Can it be, is the cake already done? Skewer test in the middle: still almost raw. Aaah, what to do? Less heat. Cover in aluminium foil. Research on the internet. Lowering the heat is bad, it will just dry out the cake. So I put the heat back, tightened (?) the foil and waited the remaining 20 minutes. Skewer test, not much better. So I waited another 10 minutes. And another 10 minutes. The middle is still moist. Maybe the apples lie to close together. But it can't stay in the oven any longer. It already is much too dark. And I should have been in bed for a while.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Am nächsten Tag ging es dann zur Arbeit. Praktisch, dass ich immer die erste bin, da hatte ich genug Zeit, den Kuchen mit Puderzucker zu bestäuben und Fotos zu machen. Nach den ersten geschnittenen Stücken wurde es dann spannend. Ist er durch oder klitsch? Auch wenn man das auf dem unscharfen Foto nicht gut sieht, er war gut durch, Nur in der Mitte, direkt unter den Äpfeln, war er noch etwas feucht. Geschmeckt hat er allen trotzdem. Mein Chef sponsorte noch etwas Sprühsahne und zum Mittag war schon fast alles aufgegessen. Als ich gegangen bin, war noch ein Stück übrig, dass mein Freund und ich uns dann abends noch geteilt haben.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The next day at work. It's nice to be the first, who arrives. So I had enough time to cover the cake with powdered sugar an to take photos. After I cut the first pieces, I looked, how the cake turned out at the inside. Is it good or soggy? You can't see it well on the picture, but it was as it should be. Just in the middle, right beneath the apples, it was a bit soggy. But everyone liked it. My boss contributed some canned whipped cream. At lunchtime, almost everything was already gone. As I went home, there was one piece left, which I took with me for me and my boyfriend.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Der Kuchen war sehr lecker und wird auf jeden Fall nochmal gemacht.
Dann eventuell mit etwas mehr Schokolade, denn von der hat man nichts
geschmeckt. Und das nächste Mal nicht mit so viel Hitze.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I really liked this cake. I'll definitely make it again. But maybe with some more chocolate, because you couldn't taste anything of it. And needless to say, with less heat.</span>Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-21690462544840543852011-05-30T21:10:00.000+02:002011-05-30T21:10:56.149+02:00A try on tofu #twitterfoodparty #twittertofuparty<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5777061789/"><img alt="P5302101" height="374" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3245/5777061789_6358e40ba3.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5777603934/"><img alt="P5302102" height="374" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5306/5777603934_fc3d3306e8.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />

I just came back to watching my Twitter timeline when another twitter food party was about to take place. The last time I particpated was fun (and yummy), so I wanted to be in again. Although the theme isn't mine this time.Whenever I make tofu, it somehow isn't satisfying. Tofu without spices is too plain, tofu with spices never really convinced me. I just don't know how to prepare it :(<br />
This time I soaked it in mushroom soy sauce over night. The result: too salty. Still edible, but nothing I would want to eat often. Does anyone have tipps? There's another piece of tofu lying in the fridge.<br />
The rest of the bentos contains rice mixed with quinoa, carrots, beetroot, broccoli, zucchini and chive blossoms and lettuce from my balcony.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-68850696452427763432011-05-25T22:13:00.000+02:002011-05-25T22:13:44.694+02:00Bentos for grandmaIt's been a while since I posted here. December was nothing but stress. Too much work, too long time without vacation @.@ And in the new year I wasn't really in the mood for bentos. I didn't have any creativity. Most bentos were just fried rice with vegetables. Healthy, but uninteresting :/<br />
But now I'll try to bring my creativity back. My uncle moved out of my grandma's house, after living there for over a year without paying rent. >_< Well, at least he cooked for her. She isn't interested in eating any more. She doesn't dislike it, but she just doesn't feel hungry. So she doesn't make meals for herself. I decided to make bentos for her. Yesterday she put the bento box into the fridge and forgot it. But she ate it, after I reminded her in the evening. Today she had forgotten about the box when I came and asked her, but the box was empty and she said, she really liked it. Yay ^.^ These are 'our' first bentos: <img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5061/5759070551_6eea06cfe8.jpg" /> <img border="0" height="239" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2374/5759071043_3a1cd5564a.jpg" /><br />
Lettuce, zucchini, swede, carrots, mushrooms, rice, snow peas, broccoli, cauliflower.<br />
The lettuce is from my own garden :)<br />

<br />
Last monday of the month, it's time for <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23twitterfoodparty">#twitterfoodparty</a>. This month's theme is pancakes.<br />
I love pancakes. I usually make them like my grandma used to. Just egg, milk, flour and sugar. Add sugar, nutella or cowberries/lingonberries, roll up and enjoy.<br />
But for today, I wanted to make something different. I have a lot of squash left so I looked for a recipe for squash pancakes. I found an african one which was pretty easy to make. Although I wrote it down with the exact amounts, but in the morning I didn't bother and just added the ingredients intuitively. I cooked a big piece of squash, mushed it, added a bit of milk and an add and enough spelt flour to thicken the batter. The original recipe probably used normal flour, but I wanted to try it with spelt flour.<br />
I made 2 pancakes for my bento, added a bit of sugar and made another 3 for breakfast. Both versions were really really good.<br />
I filled the rest of the bento box with lettuce, brussel sprouts, parsley root, swede and carrot.<br />
Lunch time was late today, because we our boss talked with a customer and our 'conference room' is the kitchen. Usually I become hungry around 11am, but today I didn't even feel hungry at 1:30pm. The magic of spelt, which has a lot of fibre :)<br />
<br />

I had the idea for this bento some days ago when I cut the beetroot. A round piece with a nice pattern that looked almost like wood grain. But I didn't have a place to put the ladybug on and I was in a hurry anyways, so I postponed it to another day.<br />
Yesterday someone told me that my bentos look too cute to eat. There were just two cheese hearts, that's not too cute o.O So today I had to make a cute one XD<br />
The ladybug is made of beetroot, nori and cheese. It is sitting on top of rice and millet in front of a cheese flower with sesame seeds. There's more cheese and half of a fish patty in this tier, too. The other tier contains cooked squash and beetroot, sautéd king trumpet mushrooms, swede and zucchini and the other half of the fish patty.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-13134861334199245422010-11-25T21:23:00.002+01:002010-11-25T21:27:28.569+01:0025.11.10<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5207436470/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="25.11.10" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5207436470_33f57d7fd3.jpg" /></a><br />
I cooked rice today and froze 4 batches. The last one went into my bento box. I mixed all types of rice I have at the moment (broken jasmine rice, normal jasmine rice, sushi rice and brown rice) and also added a bit of millet.<br />
I decorated the rice with swede and beetroot. The other tier contains zucchini, swede, carrot and squash (Muskatkürbis/Muscade de Provence, I can't find an englisch translation).<br />
<br />
The weather forecast said "snow" again. A look out of the window told me "not here". It started snowing as I went out of the house, but just a little bit. Just some snowflake floating around. Nothing that would last long. The snow became heavier as I drove out of the village. There really must be some magical weather barrier or something o.OFlicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-13733115596726135822010-11-24T20:57:00.002+01:002010-11-24T21:13:36.742+01:0024.11.2010<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5204225035/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="24.11.2010" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5204225035_a629c3fc3c.jpg" /></a><br />
I wasn't in the mood to blog the last days. I went to the dentist after more than ten years and, well, after three visits in two weeks the four bad teeth are gone. I'm still feeling kinda down and sick, but it can only become better from now on. At least I was able to eat normal food the whole time. <br />
<br />
Today I made fried rice with corn, prawns, king trumpet mushrooms and broocoli stem and decorated it with babybel two cheese stars. The other box contains parsley root, broccoli, carrot, bamboo shoots, red kuri squash and the rest of the cheese.<br />
<br />
In the weather forecast they said, today would be sunny and snowy. I looked out of the window and thought, snow? Not here. Not a single bit of white out there. But you can't trust the weather forecast here anyway. Especially the area around my village doesn't seem to care about the weather around. If it's raining in town (5km from here), there sometimes are just clouds. If you can hear thunder all around, it sometimes doesn't even rain here.<br />
This morning was a little bit like that. I drove to work, not thinking about the weather anymore. After 5km I reached the top of the 'blue mountain', a 125m high hill (yes, you call that mountain, if you live in the flat north of Germany ;) ) and *woosh* it was winter. Just a little bit on the trees, but so beautiful. I so wished I had the time to stop and take pictures. The snow was gone after I reached the nexr big village, but for around 20km I drove through a nice winter wonderland. It can stay like this. Free streets without ice and a nice scenery. That would be a perfect winter. But I know it is useless to hope for itFlicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-11936549599117564622010-11-16T21:46:00.003+01:002010-11-16T21:56:03.415+01:00Little Tiger Bento<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5182667486/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="Tiger bento" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1411/5182667486_f378d97cac.jpg" style="float: left; margin-right: 8px;" /></a><br />
I planned this bento last week, when we had to switch off the computers while the server got restarted.<br />
My little tiger looks more like a tabby cat. It is made of a fish patty. The nori for the stripes were hard to apply, they just didn't want to stay where they should.<br />
The tiger is sitting on a spelt patty. That was the last one I could make with the mixture I bought some weeks ago. It was a special offer, so I don't know, where I can get more of it :(<br />
The rest of the box contains swede, corn, green beans, red kuri squash, cucumber, peas and cauliflower.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-34558175291554565452010-11-15T22:12:00.002+01:002010-11-15T22:27:38.330+01:00Oops, where's the rice?<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5179701696/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="Bento" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5179701696_c1f48875f5.jpg" /></a><br />
I was in a hurry this morning. Maybe I should set my alarm clock to a different time. The just-5-more-minutes always turn into half an hour ^^;<br />
I cooked some vegetables and made scrambled eggs with my last 3 mushrooms. I also put a frozen batch of rice into the microwave.<br />
While the vegetables cooled down, I ate breakfast, changed my clothes and got ready for work. The last thing I do in the morning is usually packing my bento, taking a photo and then I'm off. This morning was the same. I noticed I don't have anything white in my bento, but there was no time to look for something and the box was full anyway.<br />
As I opened the box at lunch, the first thing I thought was "oh no, the rice is still lying in the microwave". So this was a low carb bento. But it was tasty.<br />

Yesterday's bento wasn't anything special. The only 'decoration' was a piece of carrot in the middle of the rice. My colleague tried to interpret the japanese flag into it, but no, not really XD They seemed kind of disappointed. So today, I made a charaben.<br />
I wanted to make a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigglypuff" target="_blank">Jigglypuff</a>, but the ears, arms and feet were too big and it didn't look good. So I just left the ears and made a cat face.<br />
The rice is coloured with beetroot. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but in the end it turned out ok. The face is made of parsley root and nori. The rest of the box contains lettuce, carrot, beetroot, squash, parsley root and spinach, hidden under tamagoyaki filled with nori.<br />
Lunch was somehow disappointing. My colleagues didn't look T_T And I was too shy to ask them to.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-801018987515863942010-11-08T22:19:00.002+01:002010-11-08T22:27:07.644+01:00Bento, birds and garden pictures<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5158510775/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="Bento" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4047/5158510775_d34c2af0e6.jpg" /></a><br />
Nothing special today. Lettuce, parsnip, rice and nori in one tier, hokkaido squash, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, green beans, zucchini and prawns in the other.<br />
<br />
I tidied up the balcony room this weekend, so I can store my plants in it when it gets too cold. It wasn't too early. On sunday evening the temperature sank under 0°C (32°F). Freezing. Not that much yet, the plants still are ok. The next nights will be over freezing temperature, so no need to take them in yet. But maybe I'll have to soon.<br />
<br />
One of my evening primroses has buds which are almost blossoming. I hope the frost didn't damage them.<br />

<br />
I also tried to take photos of 'my' birds. They aren't that shy. Sitting in the trees, maybe 5m away from me, watching me or looking for food. But they are to far away for my camera. The pictures aren't sharp enough.<br />
<img src="http://cairlinn.de/bilder/meise_bearbeitet.jpg" /><br />
<br />
And at last, a picture from my garden. Well, actually not much of the garden, but one of the borders. There's a stream called Hardau. Usually there isn't as much water as now, but it rained a lot in the last weeks. <br />

The best before date was november 2nd, so I really had to eat them. I had 1 and a half packages left, which meant gyoza for three days.<br />

#1 contained king trumpet mushrooms, zucchini, parsnip and carrots. I had some space left which I filled with peas and corn. There also is some of my last parsley. Only such small leaves. <br />

#twitterfoodparty is an event on Twitter, where everyone who wants to participate cooks something fitting the theme. The first theme was tacos. Reading the posts was fun, but I don't really care about tacos, so I didn't participate.<br />
The next theme was pasta. But it was on the day after my birthday, on which I wanted to make breakfast for my colleagues, so I didn't participate again.<br />
Today was the next party. It's national sushi day in japan, so ... it's <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23TwitterSushiParty">#TwitterSushiParty</a> today.<br />
I wanted to make sushi for some time now. But it takes some time and I usually get up too late, so I didn't make any. But switching back from summer time helped a lot with getting up early.<br />
I forgot to buy salmon and cucumber, so my sushi is a little odd. It contains zucchini and carrot.<br />
The rest of the big tier is filled with carrot. The other tier contains zucchini with black sesame, tamagoyaki (which looks a lot better than my last one), bean sprouts and bamboo shoots.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-8744789415699699702010-10-30T14:28:00.000+02:002010-10-30T14:28:33.486+02:00Bentos from thursday and friday<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5127834343/" title="Bento von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="Bento" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/5127834343_c6d6dea166.jpg" width="374" /></a><br />
Usually I stay in bed until 6 am, but on thursday I managed to get up a little earlier. I didn't go to work earlier thoug, because I spent too much time on my bento. I sautéd squash, a little more squahs with soy sauce and parsley root and fried a potatoe dumpling. The zucchini and carrot were steamed as usual. The lettuce is homegrown. I seeded it early in august, so it didn't grow much. And this are the last leaves. It is already too cold and rainy. <br />
<br />
<br />

On friday I wanted to eat mushrooms, but I found a little mould on some of them, so I had to throw them away :(<br />
The bento contains gyoza. They contain glutamate, so I don't like them that much. But I wanted to try gyoza, so I bought them nonetheless. They taste better cold, so I'll use the rest in my nex bentos.<br />
I also made tamagoyaki. The pan was too hot so the last layer didn't stick. I have to make them more often. The first ones I made looked a lot better ^^; These are filled with black and white sesame.<br />
The rest of the box is filled with broccoli, carrots, squash and parsley root and decorated with a parsley root cloud and squash leaves.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-11429001802872679342010-10-27T22:08:00.002+02:002010-10-30T20:35:10.055+02:00Halloween Bento<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5121415860/" title="Halloween Bento von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="Halloween Bento" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5121415860_e7ef8a2aa1.jpg" width="374" /></a><br />
Halloween bentos wherever you look. So I made one too.<br />
Halloween isn't that popular around here. When I was a child, all I knew about Halloween was, that Charlie Brown is afraid of the great pumpkin. It gets more and more popular, but there are still few people who celebrate it.<br />
The top tier contains a Jack o' Lantern made of hokkaido squash and nori, a nori cat with cream cheese eyes and a parsley root mouth on top of rice.<br />
The bottom tier contains king trumpet mushroom, zucchini, parsley root and a piece of squash which didn't fit in the other tier.<br />
<br />
Half of the bento contains things I've never eaten before.<br />
I bought hokkaido squash because I've seen it in other bentos and wanted to try it. It smells a little bit like honeydew melon, which really surprised me. And I like it. Have to try out more.<br />
I also didn't eat king trumpet mushroom before. It isn't sold in stores and you rarely see it at the farmers market also. I actually wanted champignons, but I was late and there weren't many left and they weren't lookking, well, like they would say 'buy me'. I wasn't in the mood to look if another seller hat better ones and the seller also told me that shiitake and king trumpet mushrooms have a special price this week so I took those.I really don't regret it. They taste good ^.^ I just fried them in sesame oil and didn't add any spice to have just the taste of the mushrooms. <br />
Instead of the parsley root I wanted to get parsnip. But it was already sold out (did I mention I was late? ^^;). Parsley root looks the same, just a little bit smaller so I took it instead. I thought it tastes the same, but it doesn't. The inner part of a parsnip is a bit hard and doesn't taste that good (but maybe that's just true for the ones I got last time?). The inner part of parsley root is much bigger (maybe you can see it in the picture) and not ligneous at all. And it was somehow sweet. I like parsnip, but I like parsley root a lot more.<br />
<br />

Yesterday was my birthday. I didn't do anything special though. The day didn't feel anything special. It was really nice weather on saturday, but yesterday was rainy and stormy and cold. <br />
At my company you get a present from your colleagues and you have to make breakfast for them. I thought of making something special, but I don't know if they would like an asian influenced breakfast, so I made something 'normal'. Bread rolls, cheese, cold cuts, <i>Fleischsalat</i> (my dictionary says "<i>salad with strips of bologna-type sausage, gherkins and mayonnaise dressing"</i>, so there doesn't seem to be an english word for it), home madered currant jelly and a cucumber. I couldn't help but make it a little bit bentoish, so I used a cookie cutter to make some cucumber flowers. One of my colleagues saw this and said "I would have been disapointed if you didn't make anything like that" *lol*<br />
<br />
I got 3 books as a present. I gave them my amazon wishlist, so I knew I would get books, but I was curious what they would choose, because it's a loooong list.<br />
The first one was<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.de/Yum-Yum-Bento-Box-Recipes-Adorable/dp/1594744475/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I35WYY1F1ZCL5A&colid=6XGJO87IOSCC"><img alt="Product Image" border="0" height="135" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/613gNkKVTiL._SL500_SL135_.jpg" width="130" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Yum-Yum-Bento-Box-Recipes-Adorable/dp/1594744475/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I35WYY1F1ZCL5A&colid=6XGJO87IOSCC">Yum-Yum Bento Box</a> by <a href="http://www.cuteobento.com/">luckysundae</a> and <a href="http://www.aibento.net/">Pikko</a><br />
Most of my colleagues think that making (cute) bentos is weird. In a funny way, but I must be crazy to spend that much time just for a lunch. Yes, I am crazy (and not just because of bentos), and I like it *g*<br />
One of the mothers asked for some tipps and if she could borrow that book. Spreading the bento virus, yay.<br />
Other comments were "I don't know if I could eat something that looks at me" and "Is that a piggy hamburger?" "Can I call you mom?" (or whatever babe says in english).<br />
<br />
The second book was<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.de/Keltische-Kochbarkeiten-Mit-Rezepten-F%C3%BCnf-Steine-Koch/dp/3806220859/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2ZGZ62EVDYY9P&colid=6XGJO87IOSCC"><img alt="Product Image" border="0" height="135" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2B3rU0KThL._SL500_SL135_.jpg" width="98" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Keltische-Kochbarkeiten-Mit-Rezepten-F%C3%BCnf-Steine-Koch/dp/3806220859/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2ZGZ62EVDYY9P&colid=6XGJO87IOSCC">Keltische Kochbarkeiten: Mit 60 Rezepten vom "Fünf-Steine-Koch"</a> (would translate to something like "Celctic cookliness: with 60 recipes from a 5 stone cook")<br />
It's a book with old recipes, using stinging nettle and other weeds.<br />
<br />
The third one (whoa, so many, they are crazy) was<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.de/Magic-G%C3%A4rtnern-Kraft-vier-Elemente/dp/3405161363/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3HO31969DDBUW&colid=6XGJO87IOSCC"><img alt="Product Image" border="0" height="135" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51NMDNEK83L._SL500_SL135_.jpg" width="129" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Magic-G%C3%A4rtnern-Kraft-vier-Elemente/dp/3405161363/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3HO31969DDBUW&colid=6XGJO87IOSCC">Magic - Gärtnern mit der Kraft der vier Elemente</a> (Magic - gardening with the power of the four elements)<br />
I just skimmed over it. There are a lot of topics. Some seem a little strange, what has atrology to do with gardening? But I'll see.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-17459361196501039852010-10-20T21:46:00.000+02:002010-10-20T21:46:43.585+02:00Makkukurosuke Bento<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5100022112/" title="Makkurokurosuke Bento von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="Makkurokurosuke Bento" height="342" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1193/5100022112_a45de4ec06.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I love Ghibli movies, especially Totoro. I found the <a href="http://www.annathered.com/2008/11/23/how-to-make-makkurokurosuke/">"How to make Makkukurosuke"-Tutorial</a> at Anna the red's page a while ago and alway wanted to make them. They look so cute ^^ I just wish there was better light in my kitchen. You can see the flash too much. But without flash the pictures aren't sharp :(<br />
The Makkukurosu are onigiri (filled with cream cheese), covered with nori. The eyes are made of cream cheese and black sesame.<br />
Left tier hast brussel sprouts, green beans and broccoli. Right tier has carrots, bean sprouts and tamagoyaki. The tamagoyaki are made with salt, turmeric and lemon grass.<br />
Makkukurosuke are called Rußmännchen (little soot men) in German. As I went to work, I heard that today is chimney sweep day. So my bento somehow really fits today *g*Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-53714809140617043812010-10-19T21:38:00.000+02:002010-10-19T21:38:11.431+02:00Pasta Bento<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5097454166/" title="Pasta Bento von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="Pasta Bento" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5097454166_a6a467a258.jpg" style="float: left; margin-right: 8px;" width="374" /></a><br />
<br />
This is a bento for this week's <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/bentochallenge/203972.html">bento challenge at Livejournal</a>. I read the theme and thought, yes, something easy this time. I'll make ramson noodles. Or udon? And teddy pasta as decoration.Hm... or all 3. And whatever I find in our noodle drawer.<br />
I found two other open packages that I could use some noodles from. There were some soup noodles, too, but they would have been to small, so I just took those 5 types.<br />
Top tier: cauliflower, carrots, spaghetti, teddy pasta and sesame<br />
Bottom tier: ramson noodles, spiral noodles (without a name on the package), wholemeal noodles called cornetti rigati, broccoli, green beans, udon noodles and black sesame.<br />
I didn't have a sauce (any suggestions?), but the variety made up for this.<br />
<br />
I wanted to post my last bentos on the weekend, but I'm a little obsessed with Glee and Juuni Kokki at the moment, so I spend most time watching. ^^; Have to get better.

For monday's bento I took too few vegetables out, for today's bento I had too much. It wasn't a big problem, because I could fill yesterday's up with corn and peas and ate the left over carrot and parsnip as breakfast, but it still is annoying.<br />
<br />
Monday:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5075553887/" title="2010-10-11 (2) von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="2010-10-11 (2)" height="374" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/5075553887_bfc4deb171.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Probably my last evening primrose blossom this year. The plants still have buds, but most didn't blossom in the last week and it started to freeze at night. I collected seeds and seeded some for the year after next year (they blossom in the second year). I hope, the birds didn't eat them.<br />
The bento contains leftover potatoes from sunday lunch, peas and corn because there was a lot of space left, cauliflower, bean sprouts, green beans, kidney beans, prawns, brussel sprouts and tamagoyaki, coloured with paprika and filled with sesame.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5075541869/" title="2010-10-12 von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="2010-10-12" height="374" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/5075541869_8e103333b2.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Rice, more coloured than flavoured with curry, green beans, zucchini, carrot, parsnip, fish burger, and brussel sprouts. The zucchini and parsnip were the last I had. My favourite seller at the farmers market is on holidays until next saturday, so no zucchinis for the next 1,5 weeks :(<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I wont make a bento. I will be on a workshop with customers and we will go out for lunch. In the evening I will go to a concert by Michael Bublé with them (I was so surprised when they asked me O.O). There wont be enough time to go home between work and the concert, so maybe I can go to an asia market. I need anko, I want to eat daifuku.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-18204854231643549112010-10-07T22:03:00.001+02:002010-10-07T22:05:05.076+02:00Octopus bento<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5060420916/" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" title="2010-10-07 (2) von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="2010-10-07 (2)" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/5060420916_46a7e1c843.jpg" width="374" /></a><br />
Another bento with nothing from the freezer, except for the rice. Steamed mushrooms, zucchini, carrots and spinach. The zucchini are from a local organic farmer. Zucchinis bought in store taste like nothing compared to these ♥.♥<br />
They also had parsnips this time. I had never eaten them before, so I took two with me. I sautéd half of one with a little bit of soy sauce. They look and taste a little bit like potatoes. And a little bit different. I'll definetily buy them again :)<br />
The protein part of the bento is a wiener. And what are wieners usually made of in bentos? Yes, octopusses *g* I just wish their legs would stay curled when they cool.<br />
My colleague saw them and asked "what's that, fingers?" "No octopusses. They even have faces" She couldn't help grinning back at them.Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989181145418702645.post-9474434312502910472010-10-05T22:35:00.000+02:002010-10-05T22:35:38.594+02:00Smiling Bento<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flicksi/5055100818/" title="2010-10-04 (1) von Flicksi bei Flickr"><img alt="2010-10-04 (1)" height="374" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4153/5055100818_f735aa1393.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
My bentos have been pretty boring the last weeks. Maybe I just spend too much time reading and then there's no time left for decorating. Maybe I should plan my bentos beforehand and not decide most of it in the morning.<br />
This isn't a charaben, but at least, it has a face. And there's nothing from the freezer in it. The bottom tier has carrots, mushrooms, spinach and cauliflower, the top tier has ramson noodles, carrot eyes with black sesame pupils, sesame hair and a cheese mouth.<br />
Ramson is quite popular here for some years now. Especially in noodles and bread rolls. I'd love to try it as a vegetable, but it doesn't grow in my garden (yet, I bought seeds) and I didn't dare to look for it in the woods, because it is easily mistaken for poisonous plants :(Flicksihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10623162968862664248noreply@blogger.com0
