Wow, I think YOU need to give me recipes. I've been eating so simply. Roasted brussel sprouts with salt, pepper and olive oil is my favorite. Pillsbury crescent rolls are vegan, so I make little pizzas out of them on the fly or roll them up with sesame seeds and crumbled seaweed. I haven't gotten fancy with it, yet. I'm eating a lot of food, though. More than I ever ate with animal byproducts in the mix.

Seriously, send me recipes!

Hooray!!! What a great example for them to set for their child. I used to work at a fast food restaurant that captured mice on sticky papers and I used olive oil to get them off and then put them in a box with a bit of food and then released them in a field. I don't know how anyone could let them die like that but it happens all the time. It's so sad. I hope this video may encourage people to be kind to little animals. promote

What about ants? <IMG class=smiley src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/tongue.gif">


Good point! No more walking on the grass and crushing the ants people!


Thankfully I've never had ants in my home, but I always put the spiders outside. :


I will treat you as I do the spiders. ;


Haha! Kidding! You know you're my favorite ant.

Somewhere's a local owl is saying "Mouse with olive oil, delicious!"

Brilliant. I just pan-fried a steak as it is too cold to bbq here in Canada. Hence the stumble upon. I liked the mere-blessing he did with the rosemary. I would like to add that the pepper should not be added til later - as it burns on the pan and tastes less.

*edit - also, wear a bloody apron or you will be soaking your gear in baking powder, or dawn, or whatever gets out olive oil.

I can report that the one in the photos went extremely well with beef sausages and wholegrain mustard.

Thanks for your answer, you've confirmed that we've been calling it exactly what a German would most likely call it too (except perhaps in German and not English).

I would put in a few juniper berries too if they were more obtainable here.

hi there,
never heard of a name for it, though I'm not a specialist on German cuisine I can imagine that for having around a million recipes for "sauerkraut and potatoes" there is no special name other than what it consists of. It's definitely a popular side dish around here. Fits amazingly well with any kind of meat, i.e. salted pork leg, roast, steak, etc.

Something's been bugging me... I cook this dish which starts with onion and carraway seeds cooked in olive oil, then I add parboiled potato and coat with oil, then cover with sauerkraut and cook on the back burner on low heat until the rest of my meal is done. Actually that part doesn't bug me at all, it's extremely yummy : What does bug me though is not knowing whether this is a German dish, whether it's all or only part of Germany, and what it's called. Photos for reference:

Two teaspoons of olive oil infused with the decade old souls of lost children.

Sans souls if not in season.

holy extraovercomplicatedness batman!

1 egg
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup milk - (just add a little more if you want them thinner)
turn em when they bubble, butter em as you stack em, sweeten em as you eat em.
my 6 year makes them for us on the weekend.

as reggie watts says "why shit so crazy?"

i hope i'm not disrespecting americans knowledge of all things pancake. after all they did come up with the microwaveable jimmy dean pancake and sausage on a stick. sausage wrapped in pancake. microwaveable. with choc chips. on a stick. and microwaveable.

My tried-and-tested pancake recipe:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (depending on desired sweetness)
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1 3/4 cups milk (I use Vanilla-flavored soy milk)
1 egg
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon
Mix dry and wet ingredients seperately, then whisk together until lump-free, let stand until thickened, and then cook on medium heat. After about 30 seconds in the pan I add some sort of fruit combination into the pancake including blueberry, raspberry, pineapple, strawberry, apple, etc. I then cover the fruit with some more batter. Blueberry & pineapple is an especially delicious combo. Cook until golden on each side, then top with maple syrup or whipped cream (or both).

>> ^Crosswords:
One of the problems I have with a lot of pancakes is they're too dry, I shouldn't need a tub of butter and a gallon of syrup to make them moist enough that they don't get stuck in my throat halfway down.
I'm dubious on the use of melted butter, I generally find vegetable oil produces better results for moistness in baked goods.


Agreed. I don't like a lot of restaurant pancakes for this reason. I always use olive oil and add fruit to mine (see above recipe).
