No, I will not have the typical Bavarian Weißwurst Breakfast on Shrove Tuesday. I don't like much those sausages. In my pot already simmers a juicy Viennese goulash .

Yesterday were just leftovers. And apparently nobody else cooked something fresh

.

Have a nice day! And not too much

I used to love Weisswurst on my visits to Munich!

Where were you all yesterday - Angelika says you were all out celebrating!?

A "2" day today so not a clue what is on the menu, since I daren't mention a particular soup......

Good morning on this carnival Tuesday

Today I'll make a spicy lamb loaf i.e. the oven dish lined with aubergine and the lamb spice with chili, ginger, cumin, garlic etc.
It's a diash I was erved by a good friend ogf mine years ago and today i'll "recreate" it.

Apart from that there will be these pancakes . I'm looking forwar to those. Easy, simple and delicious.

Heidi, I admire you. At 9,30 h in the morning you've got your lunch already simmering

.

I am curious which lentil soup will our Androcles surprise us with today

. Only after he has removed all the bad advertisers from this site,of course.

Regards from an icy cold windy Spanish Costa Blanca,
Angelika

Obviously my fingers don't obey me this morning as they are so cold. So please forgive my bad typing yet again.

Androcles, don't worry you may mention your soup any time

I didn't see your earlier contribution as I was so slow typing mine

Angelica, this goulash needs a long time to become perfect. So I started cutting the meat and the onions at 8 this morning.

Androcles, in Munich visitors from other countries usually are treated with Weißwurst and beer at 11 in the morning. Every now and then I eat them too, e.g. at the "Franziskaner" but at home I prefer proper cooking

. And much more I like when eating in Munich the "Btratwurstglöckl" with the really good tiny Nürnberger frying sausages.

Have you ever been there?

Heidi,

Thank you!! I will have a go at this for certain. I have all the ingredients except I am not sure what are whole wheat rotini?

Have you ever come across a soup made of bits of broken pasta, stale bread, chickpeas or lentils which I seem to remember had a similar name? It was a cucina povera dish in southern Italy.

Best wishes and thanks again.

Alexia: If you look a bit further up this thread you can see, that like the good girl I am I'm making the pancakes today.

The video is fantastic by the way. Definitely idiot-proof

Regards,
Angelika

Brilliant Angelika! Sorry, I must have skipped that part where you mention your pancakes. Happy pancake making then! Can we see some results please?

Androcles, whole wheat rotini are whole wheat pasta spirals. No I never came across this name for a soup. I believe the chef there made up the name.

Heidi,

Thanks, I will carry on researching and report back if I find anything - I am sure I saw it in a Cucina Povera cookery book I got from the Library.

Best wishes,

CU Ladies,

I have just watched the video - WOW!

All those years of eating pancakes and sticking to the traditional sugar and lemon juice..... and then of course forget flipping a pancake as shown - how could you ,when there is the traditional pancake toss ??

Alexia, unfortunately I don't own a heart shaped pan, but I will make a pancake decoration event with the kids next time when cooking pancakes, inspired by your ideas!

Androcles, pancake toss - when my sons were in the kindergarten, I (as part of the executive commitee of the kindergarten) introduced cooking by the parents for the children instead of feeding them the horrible "meals on wheels" they got before. One father was perfect in tossing the pancakes. My sons remember up till now how they enjoyed it (36 and 38 years old now). By the way, my grandchildren visit the same kindergarten nowadays and still the mothers and fathers cook for the kids. I am quite proud of that!

Androcles,

we would have failed in actually tossing a pancake as shown in that video you linked to.

No chance. But we didn't do that bad at all I'd say. That heart-shaped pan was quite a challenge in itself. But shhhhhhhh....

Heidi,

the decoration part is the best part. As it is with cupcakes, cakepops, cakes, biscuits etc. Hence, me: sweettooth.

Alexia: The pancakes were absolutely delicious, though I didn't attempt to toss them. That would have been a catastrophe

. And of course I would have liked a heart-shaped pan. I made photos but as I still haven't got a new camera I used my mobile and as I am such a technical freak I don't know yet how to get them onto my computer

.

More comments will be found tomorrow in the recipe itself.

And my spicy lamb I will submit as a recipe, as it turned out really good.

Have a nice evening all,
Angelika

Gave up on "2" day and made English Pancakes - batter, circular pancake pan, toss, Sugar and Lemon.

Did really well on the tossing this year, only one on the ceiling, the one on the cooker was a bit difficult to clean off, but the two on the floor scraped off very easily, and with a bit of sugar and lemon, you would never have known........

There was silence except for the sound of happy chomping

- "what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over" as Granny used to say.

Anyway the thirty second rule applied .......
