Kidsī dinner of tonite: Mashed pots and kohlrabi
Fri 06 Nov 2009GENERAL BLOG
Maybe this doesnīt smell like success, but it was! ![]()
My kids are very fuzzy eaters. They eat everything when we are at large family dinners for example where many people sit around the table, talk, eat, and enjoy a great time. But at home...
Unfortunately itīs more like me running round the table trying to prevent that everything is covered with food after my 2 years olds have finished their meal. This is the main reason for them being so picky, I guess... But slowly itīs getting better. Yesterday they had pasta with pumpkin sauce and tonite I made mashed potatoes and kohlrabi with bechamel sauce. Hey, they did not complain, but eating properly and behaved well. YAY.
Waffles

Maddi posted a lovely pic of her apple waffles the other day. This made me regret not possessing a waffle iron. Until then I refused to buy one, because I thought, it was just another rarely used gadget taking up room in my cupboard. ![]()
But thanks to maddiīs post, the following came to mind: My mother-in-law is collecting nearly every kitchen tool she can get hold of.
I asked and I hit the bullīs eye! She gave it to me without further negotiations! ![]()
This morning I made waffles of yeast dough for us. They are not too sweet and ideal for breakfast... ![]()

I made Flammkueche - a speciality from the French Alsace - tonight with a little greek twist. Using spinach deglazed with Ouzo, feta cheese, and red hot chili peppers on top.
It was yummy! If anyone is interested in the recipe, I would love to share it! ![]()

... for one year now and I wonīt give it up.
This little plant is a curry tree, which I bought at an internet shop, because I cannot get hold of curry leaves to cook with. When it arrived at home it was in a poor condition (and literally cried for help). But as you (maybe) know, I am far away from a plant whisperer...
So we both (murraya and me) do our best to save its little life. A few days ago it has developed a side shoot - maybe this is a sign of new hope? I will keep you updated! ![]()

... Yet Another Muffins Pic. ![]()
Today I made muffins with wholemeal corn flour, butter milk, rolled oats, pumpkin purree and tangerines. Still have tons of pumpkins to use up and hey, I am getting better at experimenting.
