It's because You now have a responsibility for the little one and You want the best for her/him :-)

Ereshkigal · « **Reply #321 on:** December 06, 2011, 11:00:47 pm »

Yeah, that is indeed part of the reason.

But as I have gotten older I've learnt to pay more attention to what is inside things I put in my mouth.

I notice with age, also my food tastes have changed. I like thingss now that my parents liked and that I hated. For example: fried red snapper

Hmmm...

I hope I don't offend any vegeterians out there

Persephone · « **Reply #322 on:** December 06, 2011, 11:11:13 pm »

Yes, this is very typical. Usually I observed this change (children hate - parents love and then when children grow up they like the food too) about olives.

Oh, wish I could have a piece!

Hey folks,

I don't think there's anything wrong with being interested in nutrition - be it for the little ones or for ourselves. Eresh, you can check the names of the fruits on a good translator and try all the translations you find. I had the same problem with topinambur / jerusalem artichokes and that trick worked for me.

Well, as a little child I really hated spinach, it literally made me sick. Today I enjoy it a lot.

Cheers!

Hey there, Eresh,

that's a photo, not a recipe.

Looks yummy, so...?

Cheers!

Hmm I think it's an easy recipe Markus.

Usually my mom does it for me but it's no biggie. Here it goes, I can give you two versions:

Ingredients:
1 handful of spinach
1 onion
2 eggs
3 lts. of chicken broth
Salt and pepper
Procedure:
- Get the stem off the spinach, you only want the leaves.
- Chop the onion and fry it in butter
- Add the chicken broth and the onion
- Season with salt and pepper and add the two eggs and mix
- Check the seasoning

Or you could:

Just put the spinach in water, onion, a bit of tomato, onion and diced peppers. Add all the other veggies that you wish till they are cooked. Season with that broth powder that is sold in supermarkets (chicken). At the end you add the eggs and just mix. Once served add a twist of lemon and hot pepper, salt if you wish and enjoy!

Next thing you know, you have turned into Popeye :-)

*feels hungry*

Thank You for the recipe, Eresh! :-) Looks really yummy.

I'm now going to eat some cauliflower soup (also with eggs and with added fried little cubes of pastry).

Tonight, I'm going to dinner at a Japanese. Suhiiiiii!!!!! :-P

Markus · « **Reply #329 on:** December 07, 2011, 07:31:28 pm »

Thank you, Eresh!

So you just crack the eggs open and pour the liquid content into the boiling soup?

Cheers!

Markus

Ereshkigal · « **Reply #330 on:** December 07, 2011, 08:21:02 pm »

Markus,

Yup, but it has to be last thing that you drop and stirr because they will cook fast. The egg will turn white, like shredded. It adds a yummy flavor I

Let me know once you cook it.

Luth,

I LUV sushi

. Specially eel

Markus · « **Reply #331 on:** December 08, 2011, 12:20:22 am »

Thank you, Eresh!

Mmmhhh... this is not the season for fresh spinach. But the recipe might also work with Chinese cabbage if I reduce the boiling time. I'll take veggie broth instead of the chicken. Nope, I'll just use plain water and go for some soy sauce instead of broth and salt!

Think I'll do that next weekend.

Cheers!

Markus

Markus · « **Reply #332 on:** December 12, 2011, 08:20:59 pm »

Hey folks,

I've just tried the Eresh-inspired soup.

Cut some Chinese cabbage - the stronger white parts and the green thin leaves separately. Heated some sesame oil in a pot and fried the white parts for a while, then added the green and filled up with water. Added some soy sauce and let it all boil up. Poured in the egg. Ready!

Thank you, Eresh for this idea! In spring I'll do the same with spinach.

Cheers!

Markus

Ohhh! I just had lunch, but suddenly had the urge for some soup XD!

Sounds yummy Markus! I will see what other soups I could inspire you to maje

Persephone · « **Reply #334 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:58:45 pm »

We are just makin a semolina mash (semolina + milk + sugar cane + butter + cacao). Meal of my childhood

Markus · « **Reply #335 on:** December 12, 2011, 11:23:36 pm »

Semolina mash / semolina pudding

- something I haven't had in ages.

Eresh, for the time being I'll make some fried vegetables. After all, I have a Chinese cabbage now.

Adds some home-grown walnuts

Persephone · « **Reply #338 on:** December 14, 2011, 10:35:56 am »

Walnuts

I am just breakfasting coffee :-)

Markus · « **Reply #339 on:** December 14, 2011, 11:31:12 am »

Yum yum, coffee!

I just had my regular birdfood with cinnamon and said walnuts - plus some green tea, of course.

Oh, how I love that walnut-tree! It stands in a corner of our cottage, never needs any specific care - all you need to do is to gather all the nuts in autumn before the mice do.

This tree was huge when I was little, I remember playing beneath it as a young child. It was planted in the 1930s, as far as we know. So I always get a little sentimental when I'm eating those nuts.

Cheers!

Markus
