*slowly lifts the coffin lid*

Yes, I’m still around.

Pesky real life (work, family, a wedding, and the flu o’doom) simply kept me from blogging. But of course I consumed much food in the meantime and shall get back to updating this place more or less regularly.

Since my camera’s batteries are flat and I’ve not yet mastered the art of taking pictures with my shiny new mobile phone, the food pics are even worse than usual. Sorry for that, folks.


Yesterday’s improvised dinner, I shall call it ‘chevapcici rice’:

Photobucket

Ingredients:

a pack brown rice (250gr) for the microwave
a tin ‘Mexico Mix’ (corn, peas, red bell pepper)
a pack ‘Bratstreifen von Plus’ (marinated tofu-seitan strips)
5 T. ketchup
1 t. tomato paste
1 T. margarine
salt, pepper, sugar, granulated garlic, oregano


Put some oil in a pan and roast the tofu-seitan strips till they’re nicely browned, add a splash of water, the tomato paste, and the ketchup. Stir until get a thick red sauce, then add the veggies. Heat the rice in the microwave while you season the contents of the pan to your liking. After a few minutes turn off the stove and add the rice to the pan, as well as a tablespoon of margarine. Combine well and serve.

Hi Margot,
Nice to see you back!
And your pictures are not awful at all, I really don't know what you are talking about - ? ;-)

Hi there!

Well, my pictures certainly can't compete with the truly glorious food "porn" you find on certain other blogs. ;)

Hase said...

Yeah, OK, I get your point ;-)

Ich hoffe, ich darf in deutsch schreiben...mein Englisch ist so eingerostet, das ich bei der Überschrift erst dachte, Du hebst langsam Dein "Augenlid" :-)

Darf ich Dich in meinem Blog verlinken...? Ich mag den mangelnden Bierernst und den Schwarzhumor in diesem Blog sehr!

Willkommen auf der dunklen Seite, Frollein Holle!

Deutsch ist hier jederzeit erlaubt, das Blog ist nur auf Englisch für den Fall das sich einer meiner omnivoren ausländischen Freunde mal hierher verirrt. Das wird vermutlich nie passieren, aber ich gebe die Hoffnung nicht auf.

Über nen Link in deinem Blog (welches mich regelmäßig zum schmunzeln bringt) würde ich mich freuen.

So, when you say you like "irritating people" do you mean that you like people who are irritating or that you like getting under someone's skin?

It's not a crappy picture. The stuff on the plate is crap.
