Evening Thoughts

[GiancarloZ]

I think some subspecies are really better than others, juicer and more savory.

Plum Butter (Pflaumenmus)
Here a recipe and pictures. I have seen the original plum butter from Germany at Walmart. It takes too long to cook to actually make it yourself.

Generally it's creme patissiere or creme anglaise. Both make a delicious filling.

I can taste it looking at the pictures. My grandma's is amazing. She makes a huge amount each time and gives to everyone in the family.

I just noticed how much more enjoyable Evening Thoughts are than Morning Thoughts.

Well, evening is generally more laidback and relaxing, isn't it?

That must be the German heritage you were talking about?

Though my grandma is Italian she lived in a mixed German and Italian village and learned a lot of recipes with the German neighbors. My grandfather is half German, half Italian but culturally German, as he didn't have any contact with his father's side (who was the Italian one). So German food is their daily thing.

Phew. Now that I've sat down I'm pooped. It was an eventful day. A couple hours at the hospital, a late lunch then laundry. I almost didn't do the laundry and now I'm glad I did.

I have some tea here. Are you guys sharing those delicious looking treats?

 

[Mendalla]

Of course. Dig in.

I have some tea here.

Curious how the weather affects our tastes. I learned to really appreciate tea here, during winter. Now I'm a big tea drinker. Winter and tea make a great pair.

My pastry recipe is completely German/Lutheran. My biscuit/scone techniques from my Mom.

My evening thought is that I miss my Mom. I had a nice facebook yack with my youngest sister tonight. There are wyrd connections between them and my daughter.

Also, English people from England drink tea, hot, regardless of weather.

My grandparents were Irish and English. I learned early on that tea will cure what ails ya

And for the Italians - it's broth!! At any hint of illness, my mother-in-law would get the soup pot going & within hours a big pot of broth would be ready to cure all ills.

Did Gabriel live on the dark side and deliver aspirations at night?

Maybe a little bit of both like us human beings? 100% saints and sinners.
