Hallo meine Lieben, happy Tuesday! You can link up on my friend Alyssa's blog here. 1. The Fussball match yesterday was more than nerve-wracking. I thought Germany would lose but thankfully they have the best goalkeeper and some good luck. 2. Have you seen my guest post on Sara's blog? 3. I like peanut butter fingers (I do use a spoon though. Boring, I know.). I have to think of Joey every time I eat peanut butter. 4. Have I ever mentioned that I am totally addicted to vegan dark chocolate peanut butter. That stuff is addictive. The thing is that I never really cared for peanut butter before I moved to America...but now I rarely bake without peanut butter. And I also use it for cooking. It's so versatile. I really love to eat. 5. I also never cared for marshmallows before I went vegan. But now I could eat them every single day. It's weird but I do like the vegan versions of things I never ate before in their "regular" version (tuna, shrimp, steak...). 6. Which is the best book you have read this year? I am working on my never-ending book wishlist and I really want it to be never-ending. I finally need to read the Simon Beckett crime novels. Don't know why I never checked them out before. Well, I do know. Lack of time I guess. source Pretty much. But you have to add animals. 7. I rescued a blind worm from a busy road today. You can see a picture of Ella (that's her name) on Instagram. 8. Jennifer Love Hewitt is a new cast member of Criminal Minds? Are you kidding me? I don't want that. 9. Is it weird that I don't want to eat crackers just because they are bunny shaped? I guess it is weird....I am sure they are delicious and they are definitely vegan...but still. 10. Saltwater fish drink water but freshwater fish don't. source Have a very happy week!

Our book selection for this session of Cook the Books, is Life from Scratch. This memoir by Sasha Martin was chosen by Debra of Eliot's Eats. This year seems to be the year of memoirs. We started the year off with Stir a memoir that inspired these delicious Poached Apple-Pears and followed that up with Dinner with Edward which prompted these lovely Coquilles St. Jacques. Following this memoir we are going to be reading Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking. I can't wait. Should you wish to join us for Life from Scratch it is still early enough to join in the fun. Get yourself a copy of this touching memoir and stop by Debra's Invitation Post for further submission information. You won't be sorry you decided to join. I loved Sasha's story of the flawed mother that she loved unceasingly. Of her struggles trying to adapt and accept her "new family". Of her tragic losses in life and finally of her discovering her self-worth with the assistance of a good man, the demands of motherhood and the solace of the kitchen. I especially enjoyed that Sasha started as a food blogger. Her goal was to cook from every country in the world. Posting from one country each week until she covered 196 countries alphabetically. I liked how she portrayed that the family of a food blogger is just as involved as the cook and writer, not always willingly and happily, but involved nonetheless. My meals are often met with Frank sticking his fork around the dinner I serve, trying to identify the ingredients before looking up and saying "What is this?". I will start on a long dissertation of all the ingredients and how good they are and he will say "Oh, it's a blog thing". I guess that just about says it all. Our families learn never to eat anything without asking if we have already taken photos. Once, not knowing if I had already photographed a cake that I made and since I wasn't home to ask, they photographed it for me so that they could have a piece. Oh, the sacrifices they make LOL. This meal I made, was one of those meals that was met with a look from Frank. I told him it was a traditional dish from Zambia and he responded with "you're blogging about Zambia?". This led to an entire discussion about this memoir and made wonderful dinner discussion as we enjoyed the dish. I got the recipe from a Lenten handout from CRS that I got with my rice bowl for donations, and knew it was perfect for this memoir about cooking around the globe. I adapted it slightly by using mixed greens instead of spinach because that was what I had in my refrigerator. The following day, I cut up some Citrus Marinated Chicken Thighs and added it to these leftovers and it was a wonderful lunch. Ifisashi (Peanut Stew) adapted from CRS 2 c. water 1 c. peanuts 1 onion, sliced 2 tomatoes, diced 5 oz. mixed Spring Greens salt and pepper to taste Bring water to boil in a medium pot. Add the peanuts, onion and tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the greens. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and peanuts are softened, 15-20 minutes. Serve over steamed brown rice.
