You HAVE To Love Him - His Pizza Is On Fire

Today I join  Rain´s Thursday Art and Dinner Date with "fire" - yippee for being back! And thank you Cathy for filling in, too!

I am horribly afraid of fire and it didn´t help to have a firefighter´s uniform hanging right by my bedside for years....

Luckily Ingo is too old now.

 

I try to focus on the "good fire"! In Australia - we traveled through twice for long stretches -  we used to make fire, toss in potatoes and and enjoy them with salt and butter straight out of their black skin...soooo yummy!

Not into such a "mess"? How about "my teacher´s"?

 I will not buy that scary oven but I will try out that pizza!

"The Dangers of Fashion in the Victorian Era 

 

Poisonous animal taxidermy

Dead birds, such as songbirds, were popular as decorations on women's hats at this time. The birds themselves were not harmful, but the arsenic used to prepare them was.

As a man of upper class, you had to wear a hat in Victorian times. The problem was that many of these hats were made with mercury. The mercury was used to process the stiff fur of animals such as rabbits and hares into more flexible felt. The mercury caused a variety of harmful effects, including muscle and abdominal cramps, tremors, paralysis, and fertility problems. It is said that the Mad Hatter from "Alice in Wonderland" shows some signs of mercury poisoning."

FFO And Smiles "For You"

 

 

With this baby-dragon I join Nicole´s FFO, hope you have a wonderful advent-time!
 

I just love the following two, this made me smile big and hence I join Annie´s Smiles, too!

Jamie Oliver and Gennaro Contaldo helped me big to learn and enjoy cooking and baking and it is so sweet how they are best pals!

 

In case you don´t like them or just aren´t into "cuisine-stuff", here are some funnies:

Only 62 days till we´ll buy... formerly known as Coon, now Cheer at our Wollies in Kingsway City! Hmmmm, can´t wait and no - I tried many a cheese nothing is like Coon Cheer!

Thankfully! This way it stays special!

AND!!!! OHHHH! Just saw... huhhhh, calm down... they have a GRILL´D!!! 

 

YUM times ahead INSTANTLY! (insert another BIG smile)

 

 

Do you watch?

My Dad got the Christmas tree only  shortly before Christmas.

Germans usually throw it out January 6th, I think.

Ours lived with us as long as possible - how about your family tradition?

Ingo and I had one real tree once, George, see here, it was so wonderful!

 

 Tempting idea, no?

And finally:

And, well. 

December 1st!!!

Let us have a great month, here it looks like this:

This is Baby Henry, greeting my friend K and me in Zoo Hanover this Wednesday with this sweet smile!!!

It was really frickin´ cold (note the snow!) but the zoo-staff was so clever to put a permanent warm blanket outside. More to come!!!

 

Brokkoli Instead Of Bread

 

This is what I´ll try! This about the broccoli only. The rest is "just other yum".

And look at the siamese-twin mushrooms! 

Why a video will follow? The recipe is from FB and I see no other comfy way to get a grip. 

Even when you share it on FB it gets lost somewhere, so, as more will follow, I´ll tag them FB-recipes and can find them easily here. 

 

In case you don´t have FB: 

Cut and grate 300g / 11oz broccoli, add 4 eggs and a cut onion, stir well.
Add 1ts of salt, 1/2ts pepper (1sp fried garlic (ewwww)), 100g / 40oz grated mozzarella and 1ts cottage cheese. Stir.
Put oil in a pan, heat it up, fill in the broccoli-mass, let cook with lid on for 7 minutes.Take a dish to turn it and fry for 3 more minutes et voilà!
 

 

 

 I´ll let you know if it was a yay or nay, if you copy it, I´d like your opinion, too! :-) 

 

Henry 🦁

 

First donut, then cake and chocolate today and now this? I´ll go to bed hungry...

Henry, broccoli is fun and strong, and happy!

 

P.S.  This was a time-out with great music.
Do we have to be effective every second of our lives? I enjoyed grating the broccoli...
