2025: German classics and International Yums

Merit Badge in Multicultural
[Click For More Info]

For Roots and Wings

Basically, I'll still go where the stomach leads me (and probably protagonists of my novel series universe

), but I'll also – as the description indicates – throw in German (Alpine) Yums my (grand)parents used to cook when I was a kid.

Guten Hunger!

I am not that sensitive to hot chili.

I'm just a hot-loving Witchy-poo!

You are so kind to think of me, my friend!

They were, Ms. Wraithy WiԎchy of Woe!

, but burnt a little on the tongue as I caught a whiff too much chili.

Thought that about the pattern, too – it just fit so well.

Only grab to dip when they're firm enough – mine were so delicate they would've crumbled apart.

So I ate them with cutlery.

Since I know you love lentils, I always tag you when they cross my way.

Those look so delicious!!! I think the "sun" pattern looks beautiful on the plate. Grab one and dip, I say! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I love lentils. Thanks for tagging me!

Thank you, Wraithy WiԎchy of Woe!

I don't wanna brag, but it also tasted delicious, darn delicious even.

My friends thought the same, even asked if I got the pretzel half-prized at the bakery as while making it something didn't go round (it looks yummy but not as perfect as one made by a professional baker). And they're German, means they don't dish out such easily.... which was the BIGGEST compliment.

They also only believed me that i made it after I showed them photos of my kitchen while making it.

That is a labor of love! You go girl. It sounds delicious. Pretzels that are stuffed with all the good stuff and iced at the end. Or rather, icing added at the end. It sure makes quite a bit of dessert.

I would have tried it in my younger days while kids and family gathered for the holidays.

I say, Brava!!!

YOU are one dedicated baker!

Thanks for sharing!

Great choice, Ms. 👀intu the Darkness

Waffles are SO versatile... they don't need to be sugar bombs, that's the great thing about them. And they're so easily made!

But, please, don't substitute quark, cheese, and other dairy. The natural product is the best.

Full-fat sates quickly and efficiently. NO munchies, no hangry. Try to get fresh cheese, too, sliced and wrapped by a real person who (ideally) made it, or works at someone who knows. If it's at Everman's, go there. (Remember my "difficulty" with North American bread? The same applies to dairy.)

And absolutely never opt for light / fat-reduced products as the food industry substitutes the removed fat with sugar.

VERY inconvenient truths, I know

, BUT vital for your health.

I've been on a Belgian waffle kick. So, I'm definitely adding this to my list. I need to pick up the cheeses. I'll have to get a quark cheese substitute. I may be able to get it at Everman's, but don't want to drive across town 🤣
