My rules: if it's animal protein, it shouldn't
be wasted. If it's fat, it shouldn't be wasted.
If it's chocolate, it must not be wasted.
Agreed on the last statement, first one is a probable agreement, second
is iffy.
With the current atmosphere of abundance, fat
is much less prized than it once was, except
by people like me.
There actually isn't a BVG 148 route any more.
We left in July of 1992; I'm not surprised the bus routes have been reworked in the time since.
As I understand, the demographics of
the neighborhoods have shifted a lot
since the reunification.
No surprise there. We were there for the reunification and about 2 more years; they still had a lot of issues to work out when we left.
Now the country is pretty unified; I've only seen
a couple cities in the East, Dresden, which has
always tried to maintain its international charm,
and Chemnitz, which is just as dreary as all the
descriptions of East Germany but is apparently
pretty prosperous. I've not been to Leipzig but will
eventually get there. The West, of course, has boomed.
Berlin, aside from the constant reminders of the Nazi
and Communist eras, is throughout a cosmopolitan city.
Possibly. The main thing was that if there's
filler in a German sausage, it's starch and
fat; at the Sheraton it was fine-ground pigskin.
The pork flavor was also intenser, and I found
the German ones more herbal (sagey, mostly).
Time to do some investigation.
Done already.
And the conclusion is....................(I guess I have to read more
Fido).
I don't want most things bad enough to sit in front of a small
screen to > watch them. Easier to do without and spend my time/eneergy on other
things.
Lilli beams them onto her giant-screen TV,
sometimes with ok results (sometimes very
unpredictable ones).
I do mine on a small lap desk, a lot easier for me to manage.
Lilli's laptop video can be sent directly to TV.
The U lines are well thought out and convenient.
They were when we were there. I suspect they've not changed too
much, > except maybe adding more lines and reconnecting the ones
between East & > West.
I think there may have been a new one or
two constructed.
Wouldn't be surprised. We had a line was some blocks from where we lived
so we'd hop a bus to (start or) end the trip. Most trips, either by bus
or train took at least one, sometimes more, transfer(s) to get to our destination.
You were so far toward the western edge that you
might as well have been in Potsdam or Brandenburg.
There's an S strain to Potsdam, and for the same
ticket I understand you can get on the Regio.
Lines are pretty well interconnected with transfers to get you most anywhere in a good sized area.
Helps to have had to do a lot of urban
planning from scratch.
Better done by scratch than to try to connect up odds and ends of lines
here & there. Guess they initially just reconnected what had been sealed
off or walled off, then started reworking everything.
Problem of course is that it generally
takes a catastrophe to justify that magnitude
of urban renewal.
Title: Stuffed Steak Roll
Not the way that I do it but..............
I'd do something else besides cornbread, scallions,
and Kitchen Bouquet, for sure.
Sugar beet syrup (R˙benkraut)
categories: Westphalian, German, sweet
yield: 1 batch
sugar beets
Sugar beet syrup too is a rather popular spread in
the Rhineland. Unfortunately it can't really be
produced at home. Not only it is too complicated,
but sugar beets are only sold in tons. This recipe
here is only for completeness.
Wash the sugar beets and cut them into pieces of
the size of a finger. Cook them. Then steam them
for several hours at 105C. Squeeze out the such
produced sugar beet mash under high pressure and
boil down the sugar beet juice until it has the
consistency of honey.
