Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls



More or less Minimalist Baker's recipe, with a few tiny changes and without any nuts or frosting. The dough gets really sticky so you will need lots of flour to roll it out. Grease the pan and sprinkle the bottom of the pan with sugar before you put them into the oven, so you get not only pumpkin cinnamon rolls but sticky pumpkin cinnamon rolls and you're in breakfast heaven.

HONEYMOON.


Nuremberg's newest punk gem, live at Projekt 31 // 08.08.2014

This was their 2nd show so far, in the basement of the new-ish Projekt 31. The venue is also some kind of a gem and there will be a ton of good shows and other events in the future which is a very needed enrichment for this town.

HONEYMOON play driven, very energetic punk with a very distinctive, restless singer and they have in a addition a furious cover version of SCREAMERS' 122 Hours Of Fear. Their next show in town will be in about two weeks with CANADIAN RIFLE, don't miss!

I never know.

I never know what to do on this day. It's a very sad day but I don't mind thinking about you. The things you taught me. The things we would talk about if you'd still be around. I really don't like this day but I still like you and the fact that you've been there.

1958-2000

Mom, I wish you could just like it to remember, too. There are some memories too nice to block them or to think you're not allowed to have them.

Sticky buns w/ hazelnuts.

Sticky buns with hazelnuts and cocoa

The recipe is more or less the one from Minimalist Baker, I made a few changes though.
Instead of instant yeast I used fresh one, soy milk instead of almond milk, hazelnuts and cocoa instead of pecans and cinnamon. 

And I never prepare yeast in a separate bowl. Just fill the required amount of flower in a bowl, make a little dent and fill in warm fluid, yeast and a little sugar. Let sit for a few minutes and the yeast will just turn out fine. Then mix everything together. In this recipe you melt vegan butter in soy milk and use this as the starter for your yeast.



After 10 minutes you can see the yeast's been activated.
Let sit for one hour. You can prepare this even over night. It will rise and be super fluffy dough.


I can't wait to turn them upside down.

Fantastic Mango Dip.








There was a half mango left in my fridge and I it had to be a dip. So I made the best mango dip today, using three ingredients:

- half a very ripe mango
- few leaves fresh mint
- 1 tsp soy sauce 

Puree everything together, et voilá: creamy, fruity, fresh, luscious, colourful, fancy but ridiculous simple and quick. It's perfect for a lot of hearty, spicy dishes and fried stuff.







I ate it to fried tofu slices together with mashed potatoes (sprinkled with coconut bacon) and salad.

Mashed potatoes are one of the best things and I truly don't understand how it's possible that there are people who don't recognize the importance of mashed potatoes. To vary my mashed potatoes I cooked them today together with a kohlrabi. I had a purple one! They're very pretty (but look the same like the pale green ones, once you've peeled them).

- potatoes
- kohlrabi
- vegan butter
- salt
- rosemary
- soy or rice milk

Dice potatoes and kohlrabi (kohlrabi dices should be smaller than your potato dices) and cook in slightly salted water until very tender and almost overdone. Drain the water and mash with vegan butter, salt, rosemary and a splash of soy or rice milk until fluffy and creamy.





Fried tofu slices are also simple as hell: cut tofu into thin slices, marinate in soy sauce for a few minutes and then fry the slices in (olive) oil until the edges get golden brown and crispy. Some garlic is highly recommended.

There are lots of coconut recipes out there, I used this as an idea but I skipped the liquid smoke and used shoyu instead of tamari. AND: I made it in a pan, this version is a bit quicker. Just use a very slightly oiled pan on medium heat and stir very often.

There is a moon in the sky - it's called the moon.

These pictures are from the second film I shot at my Easter weekend in Berlin. Hanging at the canal, having serious pancake breakfast, getting a guided tour alongside Spree about urban renewal projects and finding the big red lantern.
