Thank you all for the answers!
Back to summer hereâŠeven if itâs pelting rain. These are stacks of sushi seasoned rice, toasted nori, avocado with scallion, and spicy smoked salmon. OH loved it; I think that maki sushi more successfully integrates the flavours. Something different, though.

Tonight with this damp and autumny weather comfort food was on the table.
Fried Wammerl, cured porkbelly, Wiener sausages and Erbseneintopf. Pea soup with carrots, onions, potatoes fresh bread and a beer.
Speaking of Erbseneintopf. Its really just mushy peas as a Mulligan stew.
By the way the very best Erbseneintopf was made by the NVA. East Germanyâs national peoples army and you can still get it.
Howâs this for a bit of Ostalgie?
How would I eat those? They donât look like I - European - would be able to pick them up with chopsticks? Not to mention my elegant little mouth could take them?
Or is it just the photo. Or would I be allowed to eat them witha fork?
Please give me some solution, they look delicious I would hate to starve sitting in front of them.
Put a fork in it!

Autumn is here and the food changes, from light fried chickenbreast on salad to pies and stews.
I did the first one today in the rice cooker.
Went to the butchers for some nice beef Suppenfleisch, soup meat.
I got a soup bone with a log of meat on it, a big gnawable bone with plenty of suckable marrow.
Potatoes, carrots, leek, onion, celery, mushrooms, cabbage, fried up in tomato concentrate, a bit of frozen naga joloka.
Fresh bread with Schmalz and smoked salt and a beer.
The secret is adding ingredients at the right time.

thatâs no proof, sky looked like this most of the summer here.
Your trees obviously know itâs still summer.
But just like Fondue I eat stew any time of the year.
Yeah, but the leaves are starting to fall and the pumpkin stalls are being set up.
It does feel a bit autumn-ly. But maybe because itâs darkening earlier and the sun comes up later.
And weâre still used to the 30+ degree heat that is now but a distant memory.

It was 12° today and I am contemplating brjnging the avocados inside.
The controller kept klicking today so the heating is on. Not that I actually felt it was.
Took a bike ride up to PeiĂenberg and could see trees changing colour, not long now and the mountain tips will be dusted with white.
Bought the first pumpkin today, a small and rock hard Hokkaido that was being sold as âmedium sizedâ for an astonishing 4,50âŹâs.
It did make a great stew though.
And to think that there are people out tbere who use a rice cooker for cooking rice only.
Yummy yum yum.

WowâŠthatâs expensive! Hokkaido around here is 1,29âŹ/kg, and sometimes as low as 99 cents. Last night was an experimentâŠI donât think OH had ever had sweet potato, let alone âau gratin.â I sliced it very thin, seasoned with a touch of shallot and fresh sage, and used a mix of cheeses, including Gruyere. It was really good, and he liked enough to ask it be put into rotation.

Oh yummy.
Sweet potatoesâŠ!
That reminds me that my new sidepiece is very Bavaria oriented when it comes to food and has never had sweet potatoes, or curryâs or pies.
I think the only foreign foods she has had is pizza.
I am going to enjoy trying things.
Just be careful administering the mushy peasâŠ
