Right you are, Kris,

of course the quality is another aspect. Take tomatoes for example: Over winter you can still buy them, but their pale, feeble colour is literally screaming out: "No flavour, no sweetness, no vitamins!"

Cheers!

Yes, but as I said - sadly we do have this plastic disgusting stuff all year long

For being cheap (so people still buy it) it's sold instead of good fruits and vegetables who are "real" (but more expensive to bring up and carry etc... so the price is then so much higher). I cannot really understand it. I guess the people after so many years simply forgot how does a real food taste so they do not ask for the real tasting quality ones.

You've got a balcony, after all...

Persephone · « **Reply #403 on:** February 29, 2012, 04:31:09 pm »

Not possible

Try to put for one day something on the balcony and it's gonna be covered by thick blanket of black powder

It's like if we lived near coal mining

We are to near to the main roads and also the motorways. I am afraid we would eat pretty much hidden shit with the tomatoes (for example). It's enough I breath that...

Oh, I love them! But it is hard to find ones which are not artificially sweetened (at least not much).

I am driking Alnatura Carrot Saft

(organic) - but it is very strong pure saft so I have to mix it with water

(at least I have more!)

Hey guys...

what do you mean by saying "it is the wrong time of the year to eat them?" Is it because they are off season and they are not as delicious as they should be?

Coming from a tropical country, when fruits are available almost all year long, I don't quite get it.

I just had more watermelon and two oranges

I think you already understood what we meant. I was also thinking the exact same thing you wrote - it must be weird for you to think of watermelon as a seasonal fruit, after all it's available a lot longer where you live than in Europe. Such fruits like melons, watermelons, peaches, strawberries, cherries, any kind of berries are here considered as summer fruits and they are usually more fresh and less artificially grown than the ones we have in stores during winter. So they are also more healthy and taste better

Oranges, lemons and bananas,apples are for me a wintertime fruits, always had them mostly in winter.

Oh! I now see :-).

And speaking of, today I brought mandarins, watermelon, and apples

Loads of fruits, but I eat them throughout the whole day.

I just had a kraker with requesón. Requesón is a cheese that kinda looks like cottage cheese, but less watery and more dry. It is low in sodium and very low in fats. I love it.

Watch your plate very carefully, oh darkest of queens!

That requesón is surely something that might vanish inexplicably in my presence.

Last week I was invited to "Wickelklöße" - rolled dumplings. That's a specialty from certain places in Saxony. I had helped an old guy from my astronomer's society with his computer a couple of times, and as a thanks he made those for me. It's from his birthplace and he enjoys these dumplings a lot, but for some reason his own kids and grandkids never let him make them.

Stupid kids and grandkids! Those dumplings were very yummy; very hearty from the pan-fried breadcrumbs that are rolled into the potato dough!

Cheers!

Nice stuff, folks!

I've been having fresh strawberries every now and then for a couple of days now.

At last they're getting ripe here.

Cheers!

So far I haven't bought the strawberries.... they all look like plastic
