I am going to make some popcorn chicken and fried squid for Friday night!

Agree. Answering questions can enhance the quality of what we've learned. Sometimes, it facilitates and inspires brand-new solutions. Maybe it's like what has been said in the Serenity Prayer - the wisdom to know the differences - between questions/answers and problems/solutions. Both sets can...

May I ask what is SO and SHTF? Thank you~

This reminds me of a few sentences I read about one week ago. We have to realize the differences between questions and problems. When we take difficulties as questions, we seek answers; however, many don't have answers, or they should not be taken as questions. Instead, we often encounter...

Happy New Year! DH had a 10-day holiday at the end of 2022, and we stayed at home most of the time cleaning, doing groceries, fixing, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The shops here usually offer a 50% discount for Christmas-related goods. I got two such wooden boxes for five Euros and...

My new morning routine - the cats have their first meal (and then go to sleep) while I have my morning tea or coffee and read a bit. Like hens, I used to give the cats a little food before they went to bed. They usually have their main meal in the late afternoon. It's a quality time for...

Today's Dinner - we enjoyed the food very much. Salmon egg roll / seaweed and broccoli / ginger pork / collection of homemade side dishes / rice It's impossible for me to get a meal like this in Germany, so the best way is to make it on my own. Saturday is the grocery day. The items I...

Thanks, I once liked to share a lot on FB groups and was also invited to write a cookbook. However, I changed my mind later. Those things can add "followers" or "likes," -- but the number of "followers" or "likes" won't increase the quality of my life. It's not worth investing my precious time...

I love homemade pickles - with them, I can always have a variety-rich, balanced, and nutritious meal in a short time. My lunch today - seaweed salad (seaweed, herring, sesame) / Kimchi / spiced corned quail eggs / pickled cucumber and cherry tomatoes / salmon / miso-pickled cucumber / rice /...

Unfortunately, our garden isn't big enough; otherwise, I want some ducks and geese. I like goose meat - complicated seasoning and cooking aren't necessary - the meat itself is flavorful as long as it's fresh. Proper brining is more than enough.

Today's Homemade Food - Aioli and Egg Salad Egg salad A - chicken, ham, sweet corn, peas, eggs - honey mustard flavor Egg salad B - shrimp, peas, eggs DH eats no seafood, but DD and I love seafood. I usually have to prepare something without seafood for him. Preparing food for the family is...

It's made from soft candied hibiscus flowers - pretty color, refreshing taste - and is perfect for yogurt, baking, or chilled (sparkling) water.

The homemade pickled tomatoes (skin removed, pickled with apple vinegar and roselle syrup) are soooo delicious!

I am cleaning and decorating the house, meanwhile, making some wonderful home food without waste. Most of our home dishes are cost-effective and comforting. I also prepare lunchboxes for DH on weekdays. I made these two days some pickled vegetables and kimchi - can't wait to enjoy...

Tsukimi-Style Rice Tsukimi is a term from Japanese and can be used as a type of cuisine with one egg in the center of the dish, either raw or sunny-side up, with the yolk representing the full moon. The chicken skins, meaty bones (I always debone the chicken thighs and use the meat for other...

I love home food! Fried dumplings with eggs, different styles of pickled veggies, and turkey veggie soup - this is something impossible to get here in Germany. The only chance is that we drive 90 minutes to Düsseldorf downtown and spend something around 35 Euro/per person. Nope, spending so...

Making a pot of coffee helps too - I love the comforting smell.

I did the same! A cheap microfiber blanket from IKEA can do a very good job!

I don't have a recipe; you only need to melt different kinds of chocolate and reassemble them. My suggestion is to start with white chocolate (when the cacao content is higher than 30% is better, but whatever is available and easy to buy is always a good start) and dark chocolate (I use 85% and...

Home-created chocolate pralines - the result after about two-hour work this morning. I recommend this praline-making as a winter indoor activity; its byproducts are as amazing as the main achievements. It's healing and can easily bring me into the 'flow state.' You can be creative and hide...
