My tiny kitchen: episode 2 (mini)

This episode features food I consume more than step-by-step features of food I make.  You will probably learn very little about Germany.

The grocery stores have vending machines for bread, kinda.  You don't put money in it, you pay for it later at the register.  Nonetheless, there's different buttons for rolls, whole grain rolls, a whole grain loaf, a rustic loaf.  I pressed the button and out dropped a 750g loaf of whole grain bread.  That's 1.65 pounds of bread people!  Slightly warm to the touch, crusty, less than 2 Euro, and it has lasted me a week.

Here are some purchases, some of which I've modified, and some of the offspring from their combinations:

750g of bread, notice the scale bar
Banana juice, yes, you can juice a banana....
To make olive oil better, peel and squish some garlic cloves and shove them into the bottle.  Also sprinkle it some Italian seasonings, especially if it includes basil and paper flakes.  Garlic aroma upon opening the bottle will be noticeable after a few days.  Everything you put it on will taste really really good.

The more active the caterpillar, the fresher the lettuce
22 Aug. - As long as it's 'triple washed', it makes a very tasty salad, especially if you add  'Pikante' bratwurst and mirabellas, tiny little yellow plums.  

16 Aug. - Schupfnudlen!  With tomatoes and mushrooms with olive oil and Italian seasoning

19 Aug. - Toasting bread without a toaster in the pan, drizzled with garlic infused olive oil

21 Aug. -  .... or directly on the burner...it was better from the pan.
19 Aug. - Finishing up the merguez (lamb sausage), this time with mirabellas, tiny little yellow plums

19 Aug. - This cheese supposedly has jalapenos in it

24 Aug. - Mushroom ravioli with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and  sliced bratwurst sauteed together in garlic infused olive oil.
25 Aug. - Finally....................









Now I can eat!!
