Autumn Food II
- broccoli soup
- potatoes, carrots and celeriac roasted in Gänseschmalz (goosefat) and olive oil with rosemary
- ruby chard cooked down with onions and garlic and then baked with egg, sourcream, feta and blue cheese
- hummus (soaked chickpeas, and lots of parsley and cayenne pepper added)
- lots and lots of peppermint tea with the odd addition of jasmine green tea and mellisa (lemon balm).
and beyond food it must be autumn. I didn’t arrive in Berlin until mid-November last year so I was shocked by how punctual and quick the change was from late summer to autumn.
sure, it might just be autumn, but for a girl originally from Adelaide it feels COLD.
even though i’m layering my clothes and wearing socks and uggboots while working at the computer i had to turn the heating on to low or else my fingers were freezing up.
over the next week i start a new job doing some teaching and geeking a couple of days a week. actual jobs aren’t that easy to come by in Berlin so i’m incredibly grateful and enthused about the opportunity. also i turn 30 which feels just right.
i still need to decide what cakes to bake. i wish that friends from the rest of the world could come celebrate with me. oh well, a small berlin posse (with a ring-in from upper austria) will have to suffice.
I’m a little slow and have probably missed your birthday, but happy birthday!
Your link to your hommus got me trawling your old recipes. I’m all sorts of excited by the vegan cake recipe.
