Am I Chicken Out?

Today I join  Rain´s Thursday Art and Dinner Date, taken care of by Cathy with "Soup".
 
As dinner we had Christmas in September!
 

 

... plus eggs and breadcrumbs...  and go outside.




..... aaaand


Potato Pancakes I usually only had on the Christmas Market. Ingo suggested they´re like Rösti, hmm, maybe my braim tricks me.

As you could see, Ingo was already wearing a thick sweater, so soup time it will be soon...

Flak towers Volkspark Humboldthain, Berlin

 During World War II, two flak towers were built in the Humboldthain public park at Hitler's behest. These imposing structures, with an air-raid shelter underneath, were erected in a very short time using forced labor and equipped with anti-aircraft guns to defend Berlin.

After the park was largely destroyed for the construction of the towers, it was restored in the 1950s and is open to visitors today. Both flak towers were spared demolition. In summer, you can climb to the top of the northernmost tower for a magnificent view of the capital."

I love applesauce! I don't buy it often enough. When my kids were little and sick with chicken pox or mumps, things like applesauce and baby foods were all they could swallow for a few days. That tower looks like a great place to climb and see the view.

You and Ingo get along with foods for sure! Berlin is a very hectic place, at least from how I know it. Well, still cool enough for this dish with applesauce, no?

Iris Flavia said...

If there was beaming for real, dear friend Linda, Ingo´d made some more for you 🧡. Henry seems OK with the dish, too! Warm hugs and much love 🤗

The potato pancakes look wonderful, Iris. I wouldn't have thought of apple sauce with it.

Indeed.

What a lovely post, food, memories, and history all in one. The flak tower story was fascinating, and the soup looks perfect for sweater weather.

"other than carrots?" sometimes my dad would put onions very finely sliced and we would eat them with tomato sauce or these days I would eat them with sour cream.

CJ Kennedy said...

Yum for the potato pancakes and applesauce. And even better having someone prepare dinner for you.

Iris Flavia said...

Ii hope for the chicken the soup will not be made like this, though ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Ingo had an onion but forgot it - I think. Or he wasn´t feeling well enough for it.
Yes, on the Christmas Market I tried it with sour cream, too. But... even though I´m not into sweets, applesauce is the traditional way for me to go...

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, Ingo often does the cooking. In fact before I lost my first job I could not cook at all, it was always Ingo.Also Ingo´s and my Brother do the cooking mostly... As his Dad.
