i did not eat tomatoes for more than 30 years of my life. i can't even remember why.

dinner for one: spring edition

odds and ends

yes, soup

white sugar makes way for brown cane sugar

i am guessing cauliflower

since i always have leftovers when i make a big pot of soup it is not so unusual for me to freeze the odd batch or two. every time. my little ice box is brimful with frozen blocks of soup! and i rarely ever label the frozen jars. this makes it kind of fun to guess what i am having for dinner when i thaw a container with a generic liquid and hardly any signs of ingredients.

recently i was kind of hoping for a leeky potato soup and it turned out to be cauliflower and dill.

not so bad either!

i really love chai tea lately

i make myself a schnitzel

start spreading the news ...

well. i am not a globetrotting kind of person.

but when i look back at my year i am amazed that i have seen so many places and that i took so many nice trips in 2010 that lead me away from my regular paths. berlin, istanbul ... and guess what, i am practically on my way to new york city now. it will be a trip with my department from university and it is pretty well planned (they have a lot of arty and touristy stuff covered), but i also want to sneak off every now and then and do stuff on my own.

i especially intend to eat my way around new york. or maybe i should watch a few episodes of sex and the city in preparation for my trip?

or perhaps you want to help me fill my google map with personal tips off the beaten track? that would be really nice!

oh, and if you want to get in contact and maybe even join a little european girl wandering around manhattan - don't be shy! get in touch via email! it would be really cool to meet fellow foodbloggers!

... i am really getting excited now ... !

dish towel salad dressing

i am a frugal person living on a budget and i just HATE seeing food go to waste. especially since i usually buy the more expensive organic version of things.

would you throw your money in the composte bin?
i wouldn't either.

so i was wondering how i could handle my "salad problem" better. i often ended up eating bigbig portions of salad because i would fear i'd have to throw out a half eaten lettuce a few days later. i had to throw out several half eaten heads of lettuce nonetheless!


thank the fsm for apartment therapy and their food section "the kitchn". i recently tried their method on how to store greens and i have to say this approach is just perfect for me.


you should check that method out too and have crisp and fresh salad all week long!

i need one of those
