News from the market

Since it was such a rainy and grey day yesterday, I felt like we really needed some winter food for dinner.

So these goodies from my trip to the market on wednesday











All went into a big pot to boil into this



And in a bowl for this



Vegetarian Gerstensuppe and salad with red cabbage, carrots and apples. True winter food. Feeds the friends who were invited, the obligatory 'I-miscounted-the-people-again' additional hungry mouth and the also obligatory 'can-I-bring-somebody'-friend.

Ten people crowded around a just a bit too small table and heaty discussions... its really good to have a full house from time to time. Although I realised that I really am not in the most social of moods. My nerves are not so good and since I don't like cooking so much I was already quite tense when the people arrived.
I guess I'll have to accept that for now, I'm going for a few days of wellnessing next week and it won't be necessary to socialise a lot. ;o)

I agree, it was really wintery food.

I made a stew with meat, potaoes, celery roots and Steckrübe. Except for the meat everything was not only organic, but also locally grown! (ein Biohof 1km von hier entfernt der nach Demeter Richtlinie bewirtschaftet und auch liefert) I made the stew last week and it was a blast! Wintery foods are great.

I have a seasonal recipes book with 365 recipes divided by seasons and I love it.
Looks like you had a good time.

I never seem to be able to cut the red cabbage into thin stripes, which would be neccessay for Ron to eat that salad. i haven't eaten in years, but I grew up with.

For the red cabbage, I think you need a big, long, sharp knife, and a bit of patience. I still think I should have cut it finer, it was a bit tricky to eat ^^
