Classical potato salad

Dear readers one of my favourite meals ever ist a fresh handmade potato salad. I like the suebe variant with oil,onions, vinegar and dill as well as the classic salad with a cream sauce. It`s important that it`s fresh and handmade, so I learned how to make one. And what can I say? It`s one of the most delicious dishes I am able to create. My bf and my roomates, even my parents, go crazy for it.

You need:

- two small or one big potato per person
- two pickeld mini cucumbers (cornichons) per person
- one big onion
- one sweet apple
- two small or one big egg
- a half or a full can of sour creme
- remoulade
- spices

Cook the potatoes, I like to make jacket potatoes (Pellkartoffeln)
Skin them, slice them, put them in a huge bowl
Slice the cucumbers, chop the apples and  add both to the potatoes
Cook the egg, skin it and add chopped egg

The cream Sauce:

Skin and chop the onion as fine as possible
Mix the sour creme with one to three spoons of the pickle sauce from the pickeld cucumber and add the onion
One to three spoons of remoulade will make the sauce creamy
Taste with spices like pepper, salt and sweet paprika

Mix the sauce with the salad

Enjoy!

Udon Miso Soup

Today I tried to cook a Udon soup. Of course it doesn`t look very good like in a restaurant or like a real japanese would make it but it tasted quite well and I can assure you that its very healthy. If you want to learn more about traditional japanese cooking I recommend the following youtube channel:

For the soup you need:

snow peas
miso soup pastery
udon noodles
tomatos
cucumber
tofu or egg
spring onions
 additional: carrots

Miso pastery

Tofu

Udon

- chop the onions, snow peas, tomatos and cucumbers
- place the udon in seperate bowls together with the cucumber and tomatos, make sure your bowl is big enough because you will need space for the soup

- pan the snow peas and the onions with salt and pepper (if you like, also carrots)
- fill off with water, wait until it boils
- add miso pastery and let it slowly blend in
- taste

-add tofu and let it steep for five minutes in the boiling soup
-after five minutes fill up the bowls and let the noodles steep in the hot soup

You can add chilli or soy sauce if you like.

Textil Kontor in Leipzig

In this post  I want to write about a fashion shop in Leipzig, which convinced me totally. This shop is called Textil Kontor and you find it near the city campus and beneath the 'Städtisches Kaufhaus' in Kupfergasse. Its an outlet. They ALWAYS display very, feminine, playful and romantic clothes in the window. In April I discoverd the perfect pair of trousers. It was made of couched, off white cotton. It was the perfect mori girl and yet adult pair of trousers for the summer, I`ve ever seen. I said myself, that I will give them to me as a present to myself when I submited my BA thesis. As I finished my BA thesis I was afraid, that the trousers could be out of stock but they were there, waiting for me. As I said to the women, who own the shop, that I submited my BA thesis, she gave me a 'Bachelorette price reduction'. AWESOME!
The trousers are a dream. Perfect for hot days. The ankles are uncoverd, which remains the feet fresh, but the thights are coverd, since I dont like these super short hotpants. The cotton is very light and pleasant to the skin. Soooo good buy. The shop provides alot of beautiful dresses, too. It is not very cheap but if you want something special and exclusive, you can find good deals there rather than in a regular designers boutique. I can recommend this shop and I think I will go there a second time, when I need a dress or skirt for a festive occasion or a job interview.

Vacation

Dear readers,

finally I`ve finished my Bachelor`s thesis. I`ve submited my thesis the past monday. (I hope I pass) Fortunately, the summer weather returned to germany just this day. We had one week full of heat and sun. I went shopping with my mom, who was there to help me throug the correctures. Chilling with friends by having a game night and a tasty menue with carrot soup, beetroot noodles and a tiramisu my mother made, was my celebration of the occasion. Now I am at my bf`s parents house at the baltic coast. It is very relaxing and fun. I was already bathing in the bay of Kiel and enjoyed cooking tasty meals with my bf. Did you know that my bf is a genius in baking?
 I will post some recipes soon. Miso-Udon-Soup, Carrot- Orange- Soup, Tiramisu with fresh fruits. Sound yummy? 

I also want to say thank you, to all my friends, my sister, my mom and my roommates for helping me throug the BA stress with correctures, distractions, leniency, listening and talking. Thank you all. With you, the work was almost fun. Anyone who like to know what my BA is about?

Long time no see

Dear readers,

I am busy working on my BA graduation paper. So, I`d like to say sorry for the rare updates. Of course, I am sitting inside and working, writing and reading but I also try to grasp some pieces of summer as well. So how is summer in Leipzig: the summer is always very, warm and long but also very humid scince this city is located between two rivers, three lakes and a canal. Humid air and a lot of rain as well. But nevermind, we have also 3 lakes! That means bike tours throug parks and fields alongside the river till you reach the place of desire (beach). That is summer for me and I am glad I can have that all in this city, alongside open air concerts, summer theater and flea markets. In addition, Leipzig provides you the following awesome summer things: warm nights in beer garden,  park and barbecue, and chilling in the park feeding Squirells, you find always something is happen and you can always find a place to go with your friends and family.
The most important aspect of summer in general is that I can wear DRESSES AND SANDALS. Gosh, a summer without naked legs and  bare feets is a waste of my time. ;)
So, here are some glimpses of my rare summer grasps:

Rainy June

Hey, hey

its cold and rainy. Eeeeew. I thougt this is june? Month of midsummer, sun and beach action? NOOOOOO. But is it worth whining? NOOOOO, again. My mum says: ''There is no bad weather, there is only bad clothing.'' Its so true. Summer rain have so much advantages. The green is greener, the air is clear and clean, and all plants are strengthen up and seem to be juicy and fresh. Time to grap the camera.

The following pics were taken in Friedens Park.

After 5 min. the sun showed up. yay

The raindrops looking like little gemstones

Wave & Gotik Treffen

Hello dear readers,

Three Graces

Today I want to share my love with one of the coolest events in Leipzig, the WGT. I bet you`ve heard of the WGT. It is a festival for the dark scene since 21 years. The last 2 years I was part of it and it is a lot of fun. This year I couldn't afford the ticket but I longing to go again next year. But even if you haven't a ticket, when you life in Leipzig you are automatically a part of it, because the city is full of darkness. ;) A lot of goth, cyber goth, gothic lolitas, wavers (YAY, I just love New Wave and Dark Wave <3), batcavers, EBM & Industrial people (yay, my favourite musics beneath wave in the dark scene), dark metal fans, medival nerds, fetish people and a lot more of fans of subgenres of the goth scene are comming to Leipzig from all over the world (Japan, South America, North America, Europe, Australia) to celebrate a luxury, dark, hypnotic and scary pentecost. You can find concerts of stars of the dark scene also as of new comers, partys,  exhibitions, lectures, movies and performances related to all possible genres of goth in different locations all over Leipzig. Everything and everyone seem to be a littlebit insane and darker and the air is full of the heavy perfume of patchuly. I LOVE IT.
One of the best parts of the WGT are the beautiful and extraordinary stylings of the guests. I have choosen some of my favourite outfits this year and did some experiments with effects. Enjoy the dark side.
