Sweet and Sour Tofu with Veggies

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept.

I needed to switch up my lunch routine, so I decided to see if I could wing a sweet and sour sauce. According to Mr. Squirrel, I can. :)

Ok, I almost feel bad for posting this... because it is too simple. But it is also too good! This is my recipe for sriracha mayo. It also works beautifully with wasabi.

Easy: Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce - Paprikasauce für Nudeln

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

This is one of those recipes that I came up with because some ingredients needed to go. In this case, we are talking about some perfectly fine, yet slightly dehydrated bell peppers. Contemplating the next day's lunch, I figured a pasta sauce would be a good choice. It's super simple to make, too!

Creamy pasta sauce will be served with arugula, tomatoes,
and moxxarella at work tomorrow!

Dinner chez Squirrel

Just a quick English version because chances are that the details don't apply to you (for reasons including your physical distance from my living room).

There will be a dinner in my (and Mr. Squirrel's) living room! I am inviting four strangers/acquaintances/friends to dine with me and Mr. Squirrel on August 15, 2015. There will be a five-course meal, hopefully some good conversations, and a nice evening. I will not charge anyone for anything, but there is going to be a little donation piggy bank so I won't have to actually cook and feed everyone on my own ;)

So. Jetzt habt ihr den Salat! Es wird ein Dinner geben!

Am 15. August (Samstag), bei uns im Wohnzimmer im wunderschönen Duisburg. Mr. Squirrel und ich laden vier Fremde/Bekannte/Freunde ein mit uns zu futtern! 

Es wird fünf Gänge geben, Wasser wird auch da sein. Wer spezielle Bier- und Weinwünsche hat, darf gerne selbst was mitbringen....

Was das kostet? Nichts. Aber ich stell ein Sparschwein auf und wer sich da erkenntlich zeigen möchte, darf das gerne. :)

Inzwischen sind schon alle vier Plätze weg, aber ich führe eine Warteliste... Bei Interesse also einfach auf Facebook per Nachricht melden oder ne Mail schicken. 

Das Menü? Das ist schon in Arbeit ... wird aber noch nicht verraten!

Beer cupcakes. There I said it.

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

My team manager's birthday was last week and it is customary where I work that coworkers decorate the desk of the birthday boy/girl and bring cake. So I took over the cake part. And since my colleague is allergic to a number of things and I didn't want to openly ask her about things that should not be in the cake, I decided to make a cake from ingredients that I had seen her eat at work. Now the beer part might sound a bit odd in this context, but I should probably mention, she once brought a beer and walnut cake. So... here we are: 

Beer and walnut cupcakes with chocolate chips and a coffee and chocolate cream <3
