Hallo, everyone! I have finished another Yum in "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" . I was most surprised about how yummy the veg ragù bolognese tasted. It doesn't always need to be meat. Anyway, before you flog me for allegedly flogging meat , here's "39. Lynne's Mushroom Delights (2 in 1 not-so-much-carbs)" . Have a nice afternoon / evening, everybody. |
Looks delicious. Especially that mushroom bolognese. |
Hi, guys. Hope everyone's having a great day... and if not? Well, here some mood booster / "cure" from "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" : "38. Snickerdoodle Loaf (pre-Christmas carbs)" . Sure not yet the season; but hey, who's nit-picking? (Hint: not even this German, and we invented it!) Have a great day, everyone. |
Hi, guys! Here another update of "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" : "37. Nonno Aurelio's Castagnaccio (Hearty Fall carbs)" I must admit that this turned out way different than I thought when reading the recipe; to a great part also my own fault as I messed with the ingredients, even more on purpose (thought I could make it better). But only because it was not my cup of tea must not mean it might not be yours. Tastes differ... you can't love everything. I'll try it once more, and will update this then. Anyway, have a nice evening, guys, and a great rest-weekend. |
Only when it's dark enough, you can see the stars. Amen. |
🎄pwheeler joy to the world - That's what Kamala said at her after-election statement. I hope America remembers that in the next four years. |
"Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” ― Martin Luther King, Jr. is the original source, I believe, and Goodreads and Google agree. |
🎄pwheeler joy to the world - MLK was a very smart man, me thinks. Thanks for letting me know the source. |
Holy Flying PEEP! Just watching the Evening News. The bloody German government just blew up! Chancellor Scholz fired liberal finance minister Christian Lindner because he repeatedly blocked "Ampel (traffic light) coalition – greens, liberals (yellow) and social democrats (reds) – important decisions concerning mainly economy. That's... new. And Germans are allergic to that kind of "change". |
Amethyst Snow Angel - I'll consider it a compliment. Warm-up for what "someone else" will unleash on us. |
Hi, WDC. gravely behind I just added another Yum to "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" . Me thinks it might fit very well into a Thanksgiving and / or Christmas Feast... no matter which side of The Pond. So Guten Hunger with "36. Red Cabbage Salad (fruit & veg carbs)" |
I love you, you love me We are happy family With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you Won't you say you love me too. HaveYourselfAMerryLi'lCharles - I can't believe you know Barney. It's way after your time. |
Hey, Peeps! Hope you're all having a splendid day! Gravely behind, but here's a new Yum from "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" ! With a night to "sleep over", you can fix yourself a quick, simple, most savory delight! "35. Pizza "Il Vecchietto"" Guten Hunger! |
Elycia Lee ☮ - YES! *fistbump* Just shoved a "38. Pumpkin Pizza (UPDATED + healthy-carbed!)" in to the oven. Rosemary added the first time. Let's see if it tastes. Roughly chopped it so the etheric oil comes out. |
Not sure if I'm misunderstanding your previous note, Grincherella sees candle light . Are you currently facing a hurricane? In Germany? Kirk came over for a visit? Anyway, I came here to tell you that you are on the timer for "October Novel Prep Challenge" . But you know what? If you are facing the hurricane, real life comes first. Forget the timer. (I still should put it up) Time left Till Elimination [Refresh to load countdown.] |
Yes, you understood right, Ms. Elycia Lee ☮ . There have been quite some former hurricanes hitting Europe through the last decades, but they were weaker because the water in the North Atlantic is colder, and so sucking the energy out of the hurricane. Kirk was stronger than them because this year the Northern Atlantic was exceptionally warm and it didn't weaken like "usual". It was pissing cats and dogs, there were gale-force winds which made it hard to keep my car on lane, and at my friends' place which I driving home from, even several trees were knocked over by the gales. No one got hurt though! |
Lilith🎄🦌Christmas Cheer , HaveYourselfAMerryLi'lCharles , and all Floridians. Milton‘s so nasty it even made it to German news.😱 We‘ll get a taste of hurricane here too as Kirk will hit us during the day. So let‘s run, duck away and . Thinking of you. Stay safe, guys. |
You stay safe too. I imagine you are not accustomed to such heavy rains there. Keep that coffee brewing! |
Lilith🎄🦌Christmas Cheer - It’s already pissing down cats and dogs now, and the worst is yet to come this night and tomorrow. You‘re right, It’s pretty… unique. Coffee‘s ready, and I know what to do if the fuses blow up again because the Outdoor sockets get wet. |
Peeps! You won't guess it, but... NEW YUMS! "33. Aggie's Wedding Pasta (apple-beet-y carbs)" & "34. Pear-Streusel-Muffins (fruity carbs)" And "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" for more whacky cooking inspiration. Hope you're all having a great day! |
Hi, peeps! Hope you had a great start into the weekend. Here a few last whipped up "32. Lemony Carbs! (Scones + "spiced" Cookies)" before I continue to some other, more challenging Yums soon! Have a great weekend, everybody. |
Sadly, this day was always inspiring for me.
was how I experienced the day. Watching a 4-hr documentary on German TV on the 10th Anniversary in 2011 with footage and statements of cops, firefighters, survivors, etc. sparked what has – after the visit of the 9/11-museum last year – evolved to:
and a novel series of now 3 parts (and a ton of stories featuring these characters) Last year followed, probably inspired by my soon departure to NYC:
from the POV of Vince's Mother-in Law, a piece of reconciliation & redemption. And this birthday week followed a piece that's set today, 2013, weighing the harrowing up with something positive, and again redemptive:
Am I the only one? |
Hi, peeps! Hope you're have a good day despite the day. Just "swept up" my culinary stocks encore, and out came: "31. Muffins "Spazzare" (hi-everything)" Be well, guys! |
I know today is a sensitive day especially for the US. Nevertheless, here's a story set on that same day which in the end will contain something positive for the narrating FMC: it's her birthday, and she's got the most precious gift by her beloved... and vice versa. I was inspired by Dawn Embers 's Weekly Quickie prompt which stated that a birthday party shall be involved, romance / erotica and the number 24 but not in relation to anything remotely birthday. Also I just rated it GC for safety as I know by now that the US is not Germany and you're more sensitive towards certain contents over there. But be assured there's just a little each of sexy and language involved. Also it's a bit rough around the edges as I banged it out literally in a day and a night during WDC Birthday craze, between hosting "Olivia's Birthday Bash" and reviewing+ for certain activities during last week. Anyway, here I'm babbling and babbling, so here is:
