    @tunaranch No idea what that is. They’re buckets from the Greek yogurt we buy every week at the German supermarket, which he’s adapted to hold hydroponic solution and plants.

    @tunaranch Ahhhh! I’m sure @the_snook is across that stuff. I’m just an amused but clueless bystander. 😂

    @JMCQ87 Ja, ich weiß! 🎉💃

    @dnsmichi NOOOOOOOOOO *shakes fist*

    @CyrilBrulebois @zhenech @s0enke Interestingly, I can’t think of a word for it in English!

    @CyrilBrulebois @zhenech @s0enke Yeah. We just don’t have a special name for that day that you take off work, as far as I know…

    @gregoa_ @CyrilBrulebois @zhenech @s0enke See, that is also brilliant. English *needs* a word for this concept, clearly.

    It’s not every day you get quoted in the @Telegraph! Thank you @TheTomFordy. ❤️ https://t.co/YsVs5cuxcR

    @GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica Gunnar – if none of your children have claimed it, can you please put me down in your Will for the Atari? PRETTY PLEASE?! 😍

    @GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica Some day we will all get together over beers and I will tell you the story of how my Aunt sold her mint working Atari and like 30 games in a yard sale for twenty bucks, about 5 minutes before I found out about it… 😭😭😭

    An absolutely beautiful day in Munich. You could see the Alps very clearly from the hill at the Riemsee! 🗻☀️❤️ https://t.co/feusHmhzP2

    @jrhunt Yep, I’m sure it was PACKED there! The funny “beach” at the Riemsee had a lot of folks swimming. (The Aussie is pretty snobby about what he considers a beach though.)

    @aaronwalker HA! How was it? I was tempted today.

    @craigjamieson_ Took a few weeks or so before Facebook realised I’d moved to Germany.

    A 30km round trip ride for me today across the city to the Messestadt Riem. The Snook to the train and met me, and we had a picnic, walked around the lake, and climbed the Rodelhügel to see the Alps in the distance. Then I rode home and was greeted with a cold beer as reward! 🚴‍♀️☀️🍺❤️

  • Let’s make Flammkuchen!

    Let’s make Flammkuchen!

    A German dish that we really enjoy is Flammkuchen, which is essentially an Alsatian pizza. It’s a common thing you can buy in Biergartens, but you can also make it at home pretty easily!

    Flammkuchen ingredients

    Here are the ingredients you need: pre-made Flammkuchen dough (or you can make your own using this recipe), pesto, crème fraîche, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and beer. (Well, actually the beer is just for the chef! 🍺)

    Crème fraîche and pesto

    The first step is to mix up the crème fraîche and pesto in a bowl…

    Flammkuchen dough

    Here’s the flammkuchen dough unrolled out on the baking tray. It’s rectangular, but you can also make them circular if you’re making your own. The dough comes on baking paper, so you can just bake it right on that.

    Flammkuchen dough with sauce

    Then you spread the crème fraîche and pesto all over the dough.

    Adding cheese

    Next you add the mozzarella. The one I like comes in a single lump and I just tear it up and scatter it around.

    Cherry tomatoes

    Lastly, you add the cherry tomatoes and then season with salt and pepper. Obviously you could put other ingredients on there too – little bacon lardons are pretty popular! Then the whole thing goes in a hot oven for like 15 minutes.

    Flammkuchen

    And here’s the finished Flammkuchen! 🍕🍺

    @jesslynnrose The Snook is under strict orders not to acknowledge The Pants, to look at the Pants, or even to make sure contact with me while I am wearing The Pants.

    @jesslynnrose Eye contact, rather. Stupid Pants.
