I Love Me Some Rain



The days are furthermore grey, dull, sometimes a bit rainy, stormy...
I just loved the pretty brolly the lady was using, sadly she was a quick walker!

Thank you for your celery-suggestions, I´m not sure, though, if we talk about the same thing.
I took a picture, does yours look like this or is it more like some sort of leek maybe?



I did taste it raw... I didn´t like it.



Lion of the day, maybe a chef can do something yummy with these celeries...

Thankful/happy: I decluttered a bit, Ingo made yummy dinner - in the middle of the week!, I did my sports-program.

That is what we call celeriac. See here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeriac. I have never ventured into cooking it.

Ahhh, stupid leo-translator!

Sami said...

Someone already told you that's celeriac. This is celery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celery
The one on your picture is used like a potato, but low carb.
Peeled then boiled, mashed...
Jan from lowcarbdiabetic has had a few recipes with celeriac.
Celery you can eat raw of course or cooked in soups for example.

Thought I would give you the links for some recipes:
If you like soup the Cream of celeriac soup is delicious.

Thank you, Sami, maybe I´ll give it another go sometime when we´re back home. Ha, that was really lost in translation, I wonder who fills a translation site like that!

Loved that lion sign! Somehow remided me of pub signs in London.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you. Oh, London, that is long ago I´ve been there...

Lovely rainy days and meals cooked by Ingo, happy times Iris ✨

Like that kettle like thing next to the lion.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Grace, feels weird to have fun before going on holiday, kinda ;-)

Thank you, Haddock.

I love the pink brolly -- and we're talking about two totally different things. Ours is more leek looking, only leeks are more like a super-sized scallion/spring onion with a bulb on the bottom. Our celery is connected at the bottom and has a bunch of green stalks. And as others mentioned, we call what you have celeriac.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, the translation-site was obviously lost in translation!
I don´t even know if we have your kind of celery!

I do like that lion sign.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you.

I saw this post and I thought that's celeriac :)
Eddie and I love it, a low carbers favourite, well it is certainly one of our favourites.
I see Sami has given you a lot of links already.

Bon Appetit

All the best Jan
