I’ve been wanting to bring this recipe online for a very long time, but somehow it always ended up at the bottom of my to-do-list. Well – today these Mini Corn Dogs have *finally* made it onto the blog! They fit perfectly to my little “Independence Food Week”. I decided (quite spontaneously) that this week before the 4th of July aka. “Independence Day” all-new recipes will have a reference to the US of A. I guess I had too much time in lockdown to do things and no real plans on what doing ;P
Well well well… all you can see now are these delicious Egg Salad Sandwiches aka. Tamago Sando – but there was actually a different plan for this post today. If everything had gone the way it should have, there would be a little travel blog post or at least a preview of a travel blog post here now. The sandwiches would have been the snack on the side along with the story… but life sucks sometimes. There is no other way to say it ;P
Last week I already wrote a bit about what should have happened this week and the previous one. This June would have been a month full of traveling all over Asia. I would have gone to Bangkok first for several days, then Korea for a week and last but not least Japan… I wanted to visit Japan and especially to Tokyo for a very long time, but it never worked out so far. Unfortunately, this time it did not work out either ;) Instead of the usual reasons “no time” or “no money” it was a global pandemic that kept me from visiting Asia. I have to admit, that the reason this time is a valid one. And also not my fault ;)
Well… Japan is not going to make a run for it nor going to sink into the ocean anytime soon. If they are not blowing themselves up in a nuclear meltdown again (knock on wood!), the chances are pretty good we can try it again next year or the following one. Let’s just hope for the best…
Anyway. If everything went as planned, I’d be probably sitting in a funny and colorful coffee shop in Shibuya uploading some travel pictures and eating a Tamago Sando. I’ve heard the Japanese like those sandwiches a lot. Unfortunately, I can’t tell from my own experience, because I’m not really sitting in a funny coffee shop in Japan ;)
Very well then. Of course, I made the sandwiches some time ago, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to show them here during my (planned) vacation. So you are looking at old bread basically ;) The sandwiches were delicious though. The difference to a regular sandwich with egg salad is probably the Japanese mayonnaise aka. Kewpie mayonnaise. You need that to make a “real” Tamago Sando ;) You should be able to get it in any Asian supermarket – besides Sriracha sauce that’s what almost every store is selling…
Well. Maybe you have some ideas for typical Japanese snacks and sweets and can tell me something about them. I would love to make some more typical desserts from Japan so I can stop complaining and whining about my crushed holiday dreams ;P
It’s “Bake Together” time – once again! You might have read this already several times this month if you are coming by here on a regular basis. Beginning of the month we had a whole week of “Bake Together” recipes – all vegan. A really nice collection you can find here and on Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. Today we are doing our “regular thing” which is always happening on the last Sunday of the month. Well… I will explain in a moment – let’s have a look at this delicious Spinach & Tomato Frittata first ;)
This week is all about vegan recipes. Every day something new, every day without any meat or dairy products. Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I wanted to do something different for our regular “Bake Together”, so this week is all about vegan recipes. Today is “vegan snack time” and snacking means dipping here, so get ready for some delicious vegan Lentil Dip with vegan Flatbread aka. Naan ;)
Blueberries are quite popular berries I think. Not only here in Germany – all over the world. The U.S. and the U.K. have many delicious recipes with those little blue fellas you can make – not only sweet stuff though. Blueberries also work well in savory dishes. Here you will find those blue berries almost 100% in sweet bakes. Since I already have quite a collection of recipes with blueberries I decided to make a little list with my “Top 15 Favorite Blueberry Recipes”. Everything from cake to scones – if you like blueberries you might like this little collection. Hopefully, you can find something you haven’t made so far ;)
Who says cookies have to be flat?! Cookies can have any shape or form – if they want to. Today’s cookies you can even use to drink out of them if you like ;) Cookie Cups are a nice base for may different sweet desserts – the liquor shot after dinner or maybe to create a nice dessert with some ice cream like these Banana Split Cookies Cups, for example. Many things you can do with those little cups ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
