Improving my cooking skills

For the very first time in my life, I made pork. Turned out great! I made this with one of my new tupperware items: Ultra. I used two pots on top of each other to make the potatoes and the pork at the same time. Very convenient.



And by the way, that was a big pot for myself. L didn't not eat it. :(

Snack Inspiration


The dough is made of curd cheese and oil. It's a basic. You can use it for regular pizza, for little apple pies (just roll out little flat pieces, put apples and some sugar crumbs on top), for pizza rolls and sweet cinnamon-nut-rolls. What I like about the dough is, that it's done really quickly and I usually have the ingredients at home anyway.

300g flour / Mehl
1 EL/table spoon baking soda / Backpulver (Weinstein-)
75g sugar/ Zucker (for sweet dough)
150g curd cheese / Quark
1 egg / Ei
6 EL/table spoon oil / Öl
2 EL/table spoon milk / Milch
a bit of salt / Salz (more for pizza dough)

Mix liquid ingredients first, then add flour mixed with baking soda. Roll out, spread topping, roll up dough from one side and cut off small slices. Bake at 180° for about 20 minutes.


Fruit and dark bread on a spit. An alternative to crackers and apples - our usual snack. ;)

Making Play Dough!

Rainy Day. Tea. Pretzels. Erykah Badu blasting from the web radio...
We made some play dough for the first time today. So fun! That's going to be something we'll do a lot in the future.






RECEIPE:
What you need for making this non-toxic play dough, which will last a couple of weeks in a plastic container/bag in your fridge:

200g flour/Mehl (type 405)
100g salt/Salz
2EL/table spoons safflower oil/Distelöl
2EL/table spoons tartaric acid/Weinsäure (Apotheke/Pharmacy)
200ml boiling water/kochendes Wasser


optional:
(dry or fluid) food coloring/Lebensmittelfarbe (Pulver oder flüssig)

Take 2/3 of the flour. Mix it with salt and tartaric acid (use hand mixer). Slowly add the boiling water while mixing. Add oil. If the dough is still too greasy add the rest of the flour bit by bit and start working with your hands until dough is perfect. If you use food coloring powder add it to the dry ingredients in the beginning. If you use the fluid, add in the end. We separated 3 parts and used 3 different colors.

NOTE: The dough is non-toxic, yet NOT edible! Children shouldn't eat a larger amount. So please watch your kids when using the play dough!
