Since, you know, the party was two weeks ago but we had some really delicious food and I did a couple of the most beautiful icing swirls I ever made so I thought I should post the pictures anyway. Okay, so here we gooo!

( Something else than cookies, woohoo! )

Yesterday, I had the inexplicable urge to bake cookies, so I went with an extremely fast ginger chocolate cookies recipe I found online (it's in German, if anyone wants me to translate it to English, just drop me a hint) and damn, those are some fucking good cookies. No really, those are awesome. I fail to understand how my co-workers today didn't ( Read more... )

I did some baking today, for my middle sister and Mom. Originally, Mom and Dad wanted to attend a classical concert in town but Dad has some health issues currently (nothing major, just uncomfortable and inconvinient) so apparently, middle sister had decided that I would accompany Mom which I kind of objected to and she suggested I bake her scones ( Read more... )

Yesterday, we had the annual Master's programme summer barbecue and I came home at 0330 and had too get up today at 0830 for my weekly riding lesson but I actually wanted to post food not talk about sports, so... I made food for the barbecue buffet (as did 38241041014 other people... seriously, we had a fucking shit ton of food O_o) and here's what ( Read more... )

On Tuesday evening, I did a little baking for both a workshop for young academics concerning the First World War (apparently, it's a topic fully ignored by German politics, despite it being the 100th anniversary next year and everything... people from countries affected by WWI other than Germany, is it true that the preparations for next year are ( Read more... )

So, there's going to be a start of semester bash for the students of my Masters program in Potsdam today and I volunteered for baking. I'd wanted to do tart but then I realized I needed to plan time for the dough in the fridge and decided to go for (mini) muffins from Cynthia Barcomi's new book, Let's Bake, because Cynthia is a fucking baking ( Read more... )

As promised yesterday, today was a Sylt day. That is, we took the cars and made our way to Niebüll and then we were like "What." and suddenly my brother in law paid an almost three figure sum and the cars and we were sitting on a car train to Westerland/Sylt. Like, we were sitting in the car and the car was on the train and we were going to Sylt. ( Read more... )

Day One of family vacations in St. Peter Ording, a small town on the North Sea. We're staying at Hotel Ambassador, directly on the beach (or it would be directly if there wasn't like 1 km of marshlands and an impossibly big beach and every time we get there, the sea is gone. Yes, I know that's called low tide). Today, heitidei and I went for a two-hour ( Read more... )

And jessie_ohki said she just can't see all the dieting postings in her flist, anymore on twitter. (I think it was jessie_ohki. Was it?)

So. A post about eating out with my family.

( Did I mention that we really like to eat out? )

My parents had friends over today and since I take every opportunity to bake for a bigger audience than just my parents and me, I made cookies and cake.

Cookies were white chocolate macadamie cookies (my German flisters and those that read German can find the recipe here, everyone else will of course get a translation if they'd like one :)) and cake ( Read more... )
