Completely nuts

Category “brains”, for obvious reasons (upper left photo). Und Nüsse sind auch etwas sehr Haptisches finde ich. Mandeln (gesalzen) stehen momentan hoch im Kurs (Pistazien sowieso immer, sind allerdings genau genommen keine Nüsse)! Cashews habe ich nie verstanden, und Pekannüsse erinnern mich zu sehr an Insekten, iiiisssssssh. If squirrels actually collect nutmeg (Muskatnuss) is still unknown to me. I wonder which cocktail seasoning they would use otherwise …

Geht mich alles NÜSSE an!!

The beet was Rasputin’s favorite vegetable. You could see it in his eyes.

Many things have been said and written about the red beet, no doubts there. It certainly is not only Rasputin’s favorite vegetable, if not due to its fabulous taste, at least owing to the fact that it turns our pee pink. Who wouldn’t want that?! Be it as it may, I’d like to a) share this fantastic “atomic” specimen which we recently bought at Bio Company in Berlin (and subsequently backed in the oven together with onions and apples and rapeseed oil!), b) recommend as so often before Tom Robbins’ legendary book “Jitterbug Perfume”.
