der mann ohne eigenschaften

I basically haven’t been here on DW in quite some time. Haven’t even read your entries. I have been busy but I have also been feeling crappy. So much angst. Perhaps I can pretend you want to read about my cooking anyway. I’m a member of a thing called food2change, they collect food that should otherwise been thrown away from stores and handel out. Last time I got five packages (240 g) of pulled oats. It might be an international product, most products are international, but just in case it isn’t, Pulled oats is a meat imitation made from plant protein from oats, beans and peas. First I made a beef bourguignon inspired stew with two of the packets. But instead of wine I used store bought beef stock with red wine in it. The combination vegetable imitation meat and beef stock might sound, well what to call it? Counterintuitive? If you happen to live in a country with lower alcohol prices you can use red wine instead. (If you happen to live in Bourguignon you can add local Marc to it too, but that stuf is expencive if you live here.)

Then I made a pie with apricots and another packet. Both things turned out good. Then I frosted most of the stew and pie. So I have quite a lot of meals in the fridge. Plus I still have half a kilo of Pulled oats left.

Another product I got from food2change is a seed mix of quinoa, millet, buckwheat and amaranth. I boiled it and mixed it with water, sourdough, flour and salt to get a bread. It’s quite good, I really like the bread.
