On days like these I wish I had a butler. Work ist overwhelming and the household screams for attention: laundry, cooking, cleaning. Here a small thing to do, there a phone call and then a cat starts to suffocate on it’s daily fur ball. Yes, a butler really would be perfect! The laundry would be so much softer and it would smell much more nicely than I could ever manage to achieve. The food would be splendid and extraordinary, every single day. Our home would be polished to perfection and tidied up – no grain of dust, not a single cat hair in every corner or under the couch. I wouldn’t need to worry about anything, except for doing my work and live as I like. Whenever I want to, I could have a nice cup of tea and for that I would just have to ring a bell. What would I give for such a helper…!Continue reading Sebastian’s Gyū Tataki Don→
Why do we always want to be strong? Never be impressed, always “cool“ with everything, even when times are so hard? Maybe we think that it is necessary. Maybe we just want to prove it to ourselves. But maybe it is because some things just numb us at first. Eventually the truth of the last few hours, or days, sinks in and you realize what happened. Sometimes it is at night right before you fall asleep, sometimes in the middle of the day after a kind word… But at the latest at a nice dinner that finally achieves to crack your mental wall open. Suddenly there is nothing more soothing than an embrace from your most favourite person and this bowl with delicious shrimps and calming coconut curry. A little bit of rice to that… Heaven! Even at one of those dark days. Continue reading Heart-warming dinner: Shrimps with mild coconut curry→
In my mind I’m walking along a plain; on a broken world. The earth here is purple coloured, the soil sparse and small islands float in the sky around me. In front of me a monster arises from nothing and rumples with its giant feet, squeaking with its metallic joints. I am tiny in comparison, a fragile blood elf and still I confront it. I rise my hands and cast a fire ball, another one. The nether wind whistles through my hair, the air sizzles by the flames and my green eyes glow. This is where I belong! Next to me a paladin crosses the way of the monster to confront it and deflect it from me – fighting just is better done together and it is always nice to have a paladin for a friend. The boss goes down, we raid the loot and lovingly fight about the blue item in the TeamSpeak while proceeding to the next adventure with lots of new experience points.

„Miss Zuckerwatte, I want to start cooking Japanese. What do I need for that?“. A good question. When I started to work myself into the Japanese kitchen a few years back, I was overwhelmed by all the possibilities –and simultaneous desperate by the fact that German sources on this kitchen are quite rare.By now I am surprised over and over how few different ingredients I really cook with, when I am cooking Japanese. Every time I use the same sauces and spices – the variation of the different dishes come from the fresh ingredients and the cooking method I choose.
