” Your own spin ! “

Here is some info / advise I’d like to share :

Hi Mark,

To answer your question for the recipe :
The ingredient’s (except most standard seasonings) are usually pictured in the first picture..
The idea is to have you add as much /  little of one ingredient as you like :
Don’t like much garlic? Add less! Love garlic?  Add more.
In savory cooking, recipes are usually just guidelines, which you should interprete
according to your taste and preferences (Don’t like butter? Use olive oil!
Don’t like butter nor olive oil? Use Canola oil or peanut oil or whatever fat you like !
Prefer your soup / sauce thicker or thinner ? Add more or less thickener !
Don’t want fat in your food? Leave it out!

Cooking is a labor of love.
Do what makes you happy, as long as you understand the guidelines.   :-)

Bon Appetit !   Life is Good !

” Weisskraut Salat ” ( White Cabbage Slaw )

” Weisskraut Salat ” ( White Cabbage Slaw ) 

This is so much better than the limp, tasteless coleslaw offered most of the time.
This is crispy, tangy, refreshing. In Germany (and many other european countries)
we use this for different occasions, as snack, side dish or appetizer. The ingredients
are cabbage, onions, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar,caraway seeds. Some folks (me) like to
add a few drops of maggi seasoning, others a dash of sugar (not me) and/or garlic (me).
Try it on your next BBQ. You will be happy you did 🙂Bon Appetit !   Life is Good !

” Quer durch den Garten ” ( across the garden )

Tonights dinner : ” Quer durch den Garten ” .

When I was a kid, during the summer and the harvest season my  mother, usually at least twice a month on a saturday, made a stew she called “quer durch den garten”, which literally translates into “across the garden”. It was never the exact same stew because she used whatever fresh vegetables were available that day and usually a stew cut of beef, sometimes sausages or chicken. As starch it was either potatoes, pasta or rice, depending on what was leftover in the fridge or readily available from the cupboard. when we sat down to the table we never knew which starch or protein to expect. However, there was always an abundance of fresh vegetables and herbs. I believe this is the dish which has installed in me my live long love for stew’s of any kind.
