Yule...

Yesterday we celebrated Yule :) I gonna give you a few more information how we celebrate it, but today I just wanna share with you what me hubby got me as presents...

handcrafted swiss watch from Audi


handcraftet fleur de lis ring, made in Hamburg

I think there is not much more to say about those two.. just.. pretty awesome and I never thought of presents like this..

What did you get your loved ones for Yule? :)

..what a girl needs..

Don't you want to know what a girl needs? Well in my case it is pretty simple. I need to have my purse with me, when I'm out. It does not matter if I am at work or just out for shopping or even only out for a coffee with friends.

Well the stuff in my purse differ.. wanna have a look at the stuff I am taking with me to work everyday? Alright.. there you go.

One of my favourite purses. The one I am taking to work most frequently, because of its size..

..and this is what's inside of it.

• at least one scarf, but most of the time it is not only one
• my wallet
• a bottle of water or any other softdrink
• coffee
• cough drops
• painkillers
• lump sugar
• keys
• my works ID card
• a pen
• cigs and couple of lighters
• parfume and vanishing creme samples (don't ask me why.. I got no idea at all)
• tea (at the moment black tea with choclate and raspberry flavor)
• tissues
• an umbrella
• gloves
• my glasses
• pocket mirror
• antiseptic
• couple of lipsticks (two different colors, lipgloss, lip balm)
• chewing gum
• ear phones

.. well at least now you know why my purse has this size..

Hope you enjoyed.

shoes.. shoes... shoes

Why shoes? Well, because I am just a girl and I loooove shoes. Luckily Mike is almost as crazy with shoes as I am so there is absolutely no need to explain why I need to buy a new pair of em..

I would like to start with two pairs of shoes, so different, but linked together like no others in my collection. Pictures first... ;)

Demonia Boots "Vampirella", 4.13 inch heels, size 10

converse chucks, size 9.5

You now may ask why those two are linked to each other? Pretty simple. I was wearin the "Vampirella" boots at our trip to Poznan, because I simply love them and - to be honest - they have been purchased for this trip. I was naive enough not to take another pair of shoes with me. What to say, my feet hurt like hell one day after the concert. But on the other hand Mike and I wanted to take a walk trough the city. So what to do? Exactly. Get myself a new pair of COMFORTABLE shoes.

Luckily stores are opened on sundays in Poland and not closed all day like they are in Germany. So I could get myself those beauties and start walkin... ^^"

Hope you kind of enjoyed..
... and consider yourself as forwarned.. there are a lot more pairs of shoes available.. and every one comes with a small story.

Last week has been a late shift week, therefore I had absolutely no time to start the project I got in mind for ya. Additional to this I had to fight damn flu again at the end of the week and did not do that much, but cooking. It may be not only classic german dishes, but at least all are vegan ;)

Thursdays dinner

boiled potatoes and savoy cabbage with cured tofu

Fridays dinner

mac n cheese with soy sausages

Sundays breakfast



toast with vegan cold meat, vegan yoghurt with fresh kaki and cocoa, cup of tea

Sundays lunch

mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts and vegan meat loaf

Hope you kind of enjoyed this little information, huns. I will try to find some more time for you guys asap.

Lunch on sundays

Once we talked about recipes, I think it was the one for Bigos. At the moment I am too lazy to translate it, but I'd like to share this one with you. Vegan fast au gratin potatoes with mushrooms and tomatoes.

What you need for 2 people:

• 8 - 10 potatoes
• 300 g white mushrooms
• 125 g cherry tomatoes
• 1 onion
• 100 g grated vegan cheese
• 1 cup of soy granulate
• salt, pepper, paprika, dried sweet marjoram, cayenne, granulated vegetable broth
• 200 ml soy cream
• vegetable oil

Take a cup of soy granulate and add salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne and granulated vegetable broth. Add water until the soy granulate is covered completely and heat into microwave for 3 minutes at maximum. Peel the potatoes, cut in halves and slices, let potatoe slices simmer in salty water until almoste done. Peel the white mushrooms and cut into slices as well, cut cherry tomatoes in quarters and slices onion into small pieces.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan and slightly broil the onion pieces. Add precooked soy granulate and let broil until slightly brown. Add white mushroom slices and tomatoe quarters and let broil for a few minutes until you add the precooked potatoe slices. Let broil a few minutes again until you add the soy cream. Finally add the grated vegan cheese, dried sweet marjoram, salt and pepper. Stir and let boil for at about one minute. That's it. Ready to serve.

Hope you enjoyed. :)

the last..(almost) two weeks...

As you have recognised.. my time to write for you is quite limited. But at least I am taking pictures for you of whatever.. ;)

Let's start with my day off last week, wednesday.

I am not sure if I told you, but Mike and I had a quite small bed for the last years. And finally we found one big enough for both of us and... uhm.. Lucie, who actually occupied Mikes part of the bed.. As long as she stays over there it is quite okay with me. XD Actually thats all what I have done that day.. After the bed has been delivered at about 8 am I needed to remove our old bed from this room. It is now on stock in our spare room. :p Hardest part was to get the new bed together.. I still got two lovely blisters at my right hand, but it is just a lovely bed, so we're really happy with it.

This is how breakfast looks on weekends. When I got enough time to prepare it and we can take our time to enjoy it. What it is exactly? Vegan yoghurt, fresh pomegranate, cocoa, vanilla sugar and fresh plums together with a large coffee. Afterwards? Taking a long walk with Lucie. As it was unbelievable foggy this morning I took a lot of pictures. See below.

As I sad.. quite a lot of pictures.. but this has just been a great morning with my silly dog in the park :)

This week is an early shift week again.. As it is quite cold and I am afraid not to arrive at work in time I am using another bus connection. So I leave for work at 4:10 am.

Yeah.. I know.. too early.. too cold.. too windy and too foggy. But what shall we do.. the week is almost over. Looking forward to quit work tomorrow afternoon and take a bit time off.. My sister and me are planing another project on our blogs. More to come soon ;)

You may read this and ask yourself. Why is this post in english now and no longer in german? Let me explain.
One of me best friends is livin in the US, too far away but still a sister, a soulmate. She kept asking for more information regarding Europe, Germany or better what the way of live is over here.

So I got an idea how to show her our 'way of life'.

Angela, me love - this is for you. ;)

Today my day started at about 4:00 a.m. With a sip of coffee, sip of cherry coke and painkillers. Cuz for some reason me night was.. well too short and I got a lovely headache the whole day. Nevertheless I needed to leave me hubby and our cheesy ear dog at 4:40 a.m. latest, to catch me bus at 4:52. Afterwards I need to change buses 3 times to get to Garbsen and start to work at 6:00 a.m. (you may have a look at google maps ;) )

10:00 am - lunchtime. Today I had a large mixed salad and a slice of well apple-peach or whatever pie, obviously can't tell. Finished work at 2:30 p.m. - finally and had a quick cig while waiting for me bus, taking me home.

Autumn is here and you can see all the great colored leaves out there - even if it already started to become pretty cold.

After a little walk, we are finally there - home sweet... well... you all know the rest..

.. and who's always there to welcoming you home? Exactly. Lucie is there, watchin TV and.. well is not really lookin too happy to seein Mommy...

As my baby is not happy to see me, I need to do something she really loves. Yeah, your right Hun. Head to the kitchen and get myself a quick lunch. Todays lunch? Pierogi, filled with peach, covered with some sugar and peach sirup. Hope you're not gettin too hungry, Love. ;)

As I need to get up too early for me and always get too late to bed, it's about time to catch some sleep now, as it is already 4:00 p.m. ^^

Woke up at about 6:00 p.m. to recognize that I'm freezin me ass up again for some reason. So what to do? Take a loooooong and hot candle light shower. Makes everything better, then everything else.

In this short version of me day, it may sound like I'm eating the whole day.. Oh.. did I already mention it? Hungry again.. Todays dinner? Worlds most delicious leftovers, Bigos.

I know.. it looks.. uhm.. ugly.. but you better not look at it, but eat and enjoy. Nothing more. Just nomnomnom. lol. Oh wait. There has been something more. Cuz I tried to eat and watch last weeks episode of...? Yeah.. you know it, I know it... no need to beat around the bush..

What? Why I only tried to eat? Cuz actually I kept starring at the screen and punched the spoon right agains me chin. To complete the picture - course there was food on the spoon ... ;)

Everey day in this early shift weeks ends with: gettin ready to take Lucie for a walk. As it is windy and cold and foggy outside gettin ready for a walk looks like this:

Well, Love, this has been me day.. gonna get my ass to bed now. Hope you enjoyed. Miss ya.

Oldtimer Treffen Seelze 25.04.2011

Kann ich schon wieder nur Fotos posten....?! Ich denke schon ^^ Denn allzu viel gibt es hier wirklich nicht zu sagen. Strullerhasi war schon wieder mit Hund und Gatten unterwegs und ich will euch die vielen tollen Wägelchen einfach nicht vorenthalten. Deswegen, sorry für die Länge des "Bilder-Posts", aber dafür gibts ordentlich was zu gucken. :)

Ächz... zugegeben, das waren jetzt wirklich eine ganze Menge Fotos, aber glaubt mir ich hab schon ein paar weggelassen und alles was es in diese Auswahl geschafft hat ist doch durchaus ansehenswert. :)

Ich hoffe ihr hattet ein wenig Spaß und habt noch einen schönen Abend.
xoxo Strullerhasi
