EBBP#6 – Peek-a-Boo

Johanna at The Passionate Cook is hosting the 6th installment of European Blogging By Post (thank you!), and I am two days late (again…) Monday I was busy in family business, Tuesday was a public holiday in Germany, so I’ll be heading for the post office right after finishing this blog entry featuring my parcel to a fellow foodie blogger. I hope I won’t be shocked by a parcel over 2 kilogram… my hubby has been hiding our mail scale, so I’ll find out right at the counter. What’s in it? Well… I don’t want to be a spoil-sport so I won’t tell you who is getting this parcel nor what is exactly in it, but… I packed something local something regional something typical for Germany something foreign something...

Kathi from Kochfrosch has tagged me for a foodie meme started by Angelika from The Flying Apple – an imaginary dinner with friends from the foodblog universe – what would I offer? I have taken my time to think this through, and I find it hard to come up with a single, definitive answer, because what I would serve would depend vastly on who would be coming for dinner, and of course my mood and the things I have discovered in blogs or food magazines or cookbooks over the weeks. I can imagine I would ask all my blogging friends to join me in a food shopping spree through the wonderful markets and ethnic stores of my hometown, stopping at specialty stores here and there, and then having a...

Things to eat before you die

Petra from Chili & Ciabatta has tagged me for the Things To Eat Before You Die meme, started by Melissa of The Travelers Lunchbox. I have seen this meme all over the foodie blogosphere by now. When I saw the BBC piece on “50 things to eat before you die”, hosted by Ainsley Harriott, I just had fun watching it and would never have thought it could start such a tsunami of blog entries. (Guess what the no. 1 food was - fish!). Now, with way over 1200 entries on the ever growing list, I find it hard to come up with something not already on the list (although I did find a few), and I can hardly decide which way to go. Should I choose dishes, or mere...

Getting surprise parcels is so much fun, and getting foodie surprises even more. So I was happy to participate in round 5 of the Euro Blogging By Post, the brainchild of Andrew from Spittoonextra, author of a few other great food and wine blogs. The event, aptly themed “Taste of Summer”, is kindly hosted by Cooksister. Thanks a lot to both of you! Today I received my parcel: And guess where it came from… Right from the headquarters of Spittoonextra, Henley on Thames! Thank you, Andrew, for your great choice of organic British summer foods, truly a delectable selection!

Yet another blog event posting… As a participant in the 5th edition of European Blogging By Post (EBBP) themed “The Taste Of Summer” I should have been sending my parcel to a fellow food blogger yesterday. But.. .erm.. I didn’t make it in time. Actually, I was way to busy in keeping a deadline yesterday, so I just went to the mail office to send my parcel today. I am sorry This one: Bon voyage, may all your ingredients reach a safe harbor without damage.

A Foodbloggers Meme around the World

While I know there have been several memes around asking you to vote for your top choice of blogs, recipes, or whatever, I have a nagging sense of missing too much in the foodie blogosphere. It seems like every day a new lovely food blog pops up somewhere and life is too short to find or know or read’em all. So I am asking you to join this meme to widen our angle of perception when it comes to foodblogs. 1. Please list three recipes you have recently bookmarked from foodblogs to try 2. A foodblog in your vicinity 3. A foodblog located far from you 4. A foodblog (or several) you have discovered recently (where did you find it?) 5. Any people or bloggers you want to tag...

Funny old cookbooks

Someone on a mailing list pointed me to a site making fun of old cookbooks. Go and see for yourself The Gallery of Regrettable Food

Silvester und der Jahreswechsel nach 2006 liegt hinter uns. Für mehr als 1,5 Milliarden Menschen beginnt aber das Jahr erst in ein paar Wochen, am 29. Januar. Dieser Tag markiert den 1. Tag des Jahres 4704 nach chinesischer Zeitrechnung, ein Jahr im astrologischen Zeichen des Hundes. Die Feierlichkeiten beginnen mit dem ersten Neumond des neuen Jahres (oder dem zweiten Neumond nach der Wintersonnwende), und enden 15 Tage später mit dem Vollmond. New Year’s Eve and the celebrations of the New Year are history for 2006. But more than 1.5 billion people will start into a new year in a few weeks, on January 29, 2006. This marks the first day of the new (lunar) year of 4704 according to the Chinese calendar. Festivities start at the first new moon...
