Pots and Pans



Today I join Rain´s Thursday Art and Dinner Date with  ... well... Pots and Pans.
There is a The Simpsons-episode on this. Just saying...

For the Dinner-Part:


 
Sooo quick and yummy!!!!!
 

As a kid: No. 
 
I HATED butter.
And truffle??? In the 1970´s???? In Germany? No way.
 
I was too small and sent to a camp to gain weight.
 
One row for "us", one for the "big ones". Made friends with a boy and we always traded.
Surprisingly we were allowed to sit together!!!! 
Kids are not dumb!
He didn´t lose, I didn´t gain but we talked and played nicely. I turned five there. >
No internet (hahaha. So sad. I´d like to know what became of him? I don´t recall his name.)

The new series:

"These 17 German words are known worldwide – from “Kindergarten” to “Schadenfreude”  


#4 Kindergarten
 
Known to absolutely everyone: the word "kindergarten." It's a bit unsettling, though. Are children being planted in the garden, or what does it mean? In English, a translation seems to have been rejected outright and the word simply kept as it is. So that any misinterpretations can be pointed at us Germans.

It would be so nice if you and that boy could meet as grown-ups. But if you don't remember his name, it seems impossible

kindergarten was explained to me as a place for children (kinder) to play and learn (garden).
You had peas and butter for dinner? nothing else? That sounds boring. I would add a couple of brussels sprouts at least.

...rattle those pots and pan!

Thank you, Kathy, hugs to you and the lake!!!

In GDR the kids really learned to "garden" - we in the west did not...
Truffle butter does the magic, soooooo yummy!

Iris Flavia said...

I sadly saw the The Simpsons-episode in German only but Bart sure did a GREAT, LOUD job!

Granny Sue said...

Just peas? You have such a tiny appetite! I wish I could trade you for a while! We had trout, hush puppies, salad, and a corn-kidney beans medley, which I didn't eat because I was stuffed. The trout was so yummy, salad partly from the garden, so yummy too.
Kindergarten today is pretty much like first grade, not really a play place. Kids have to be able to count, know their alphabet, write their name, know the primary colors...all the things I learned in first grade, because there was no public kindergarten back then.

Most peas aren't my thing, though ok in rice or certain foods.

Iris Flavia said...

... and truffle butter!!! Soooo yummy! And quick, that´s the key here atm...
Yes, horrible what kids have to learn these days and early on!!!! My friend has twins, ages 14, horrible work-load they (all) get!!!
What for????

My name is Erika. said...

I love peas. I wish the hubby did. And kindergarten works for me. Garden is where kids play, right? So kids play area is how I look at the word. Happy Thursday. hugs-Erika

Many things Ingo likes I do not, so what? He prepares his food, I mine, all good! Go for peas, hugs!

Iris Flavia said...

LOL. Henry, huh!

Bill said...

I love peas, always have. Here they have mushed peas and they are smashed up and we didn't care for them. I still eat the regular ones and they are frozen.

Amypie71 said...

Yum yup I like peas, B hates them, I don't understand that, if I could I'd put them in all my cooking.

CJ Kennedy said...

Cute drawing. When you say truffles, I think of chocolate 🤣

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, you must try the combo!!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you and that butter is from heaven!

Iris Flavia said...

Mashed up sounds yummy, too!

Iris Flavia said...

Things Ingo does not like I do but for myself! :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Yuck 🤣

Your story brings a smile—how childhood memories can be so vivid and full of little adventures, even around something as simple as food. It’s those moments that shape us and become part of who we are. Thanks for sharing a bit of that with us. New post: www.melodyjacob.com
