Well. Nothing really. Only indirectly. In my head, so to speak. The man with the lighter pink flood Röhrenhose must I do for weeks ringing ears. Probably he has already thrown a few balls against homeopathic tinnitus. Alex has nothing to do with it. God forbid.
So. Last year, buk Alex Castagnaccio. As always, the photos of the recipe was super nice and appealing. I had never baked Castagnaccio (not eaten) and made me so in search of chestnut flour. Not applicable. Even in my beloved spice mill, which has everything else, they told me that it was too specific. Some time I Pam wrote of Mestolo that in Dusseldorf which is at Basic.
Basic is a health food store, with nothing but healthy whole-food items and hair color from plant extracts, stones instead of washing powder and the like. They have good products that sell much of it fits but not in my kitchen (we do not eat as many grains). And somehow I always, I am for those shops do not "eco" enough. I also take Ariel and Dash. With Washing nuts and stones I have never worked before. ( Whether for washing the mysterious box of the pasta machine is suitable?)
Okay. I'm prejudiced, you say it. However, I need absolutely chestnut flour. So I drive one morning on the free day out. Peppinello with the Lord. I wonder briefly whether I should color the hair first with henna red, but then let it. I do not have the appropriate wardrobe. And, no. The Lord Peppinello is not the man with the lighter pink skinny trousers. Although a proposal ... it would be worth it.
( check this point, I all-time parents living men in women's pants, and their associated henna wives forgiveness. I know that my aura is negative. Can wegpendeln this?)
Before entering the shop (Friedrichstraße in Dusseldorf), we conduct ourselves politically incorrect, because we parked right in front of the entrance stopping. Contrary to my expectations is not a small country store Basic but a kind of supermarket with shopping carts and all the trimmings. When I take one of the cars, says the Lord Peppinello: "I think you are buying only flour. Since you surely do not have cars, or do you immediately buy hundredweight? "
He knows me. I know him.
I push back the cart and say (in mine insulted liver sausage) Place: "Give even the car key, we go again. "
The following is a quiet run little bickering. We can even rumkeifen not last. Otherwise quite possible to scare the Biotomaten (which look like they were last week already been ready for the dustbin). Mr. Peppinello brings a shopping basket and says, "Now Hinne do, we are in no parking."
After several environmentally degradable, anti-allergenic, what white-i-like-tested shampoo bottles, various herbal teas, whole wheat pasta (yuck) and the same longer had in his hand had let my eyes wander and I find the shelf with the flour. Numerous varieties and Schrotungen.Eine healthier than the other. As is also the chestnut flour. Sonnentor chestnut flour claimed. With images of Hildegard von Bingen . (I say yes, all witches herbs in health food store) to in small cartons 200g. The price confused me at first. I have no idea. Converted it costs 22 € ... ... not per hundredweight, but per kilo. Fundamental kind. But I also get a wonderful piece of prime rib ... or a large piece of boiled beef.
Peppinello The Lord is on the side shelf and examined it completely strange things. Quinoa. Bulgur. Millet. Expensive black lentils. The romped However the here and this here. Since he only says: ". They've got the bang is not" When he sees the price of the chestnut flour, he just shakes his head. Then shrugs his shoulders and says: "The pine nuts we have at home. You need not buy. "
I need but still white beans. And search and coriander Schabziger clover, I need this week for another recipe. I am also still rye and Spelt flour. And coarse sea salt. And the shopping basket is full. If only we had preferred to take a cab. We go to the checkout. The shop is unfortunately rather empty, so my stereotype of the typical health food store customers can not really . Confirm The esoteric inner mid-fifties are probably still in office ... or in the community college. The Rauschebärte probably still asleep. Only a confused elderly lady gets in front of us for their purchases correctly on the tape. Behind us is a completely exasperated mother with two cranky toddlers. One in the arm, one leg hanging on her. The stroller has fully loaded it with various organic baby food. The content is in color for all grades of the same. As Kotze or similar body waste. course it can not let the Lord Peppinello. He says: "If I had to eat it, I would have a bad mood." Fortunately, the woman hears not. The baby in her arms you crying like a madman in his ear.
Fortunately, we got no nodules, ie from home and ran to the Castagnaccio.
you wonder just where the light-purple pants man? The will come. Do not worry.
Here is the recipe from Alex .
- 300g chestnut flour
- 500 ml water
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 handfuls of raisins (soaked in water)
- 1 handful chopped walnuts
- 1 handful of pine nuts
-
1 sprig of rosemary (finely chopped)I have only dried since
chestnut flour smells funny. Not even for chestnuts. I will sniff the young Peppinello. He says it smells like sausage or ham. Air dry. I sniff. He has a point.
I Stir the ingredients. Everything is quite fluid. Well. If so. During the baking time I look at the often the Unopened packet chestnut flour. Hildegard von Bingen front on it. I introduce myself with a flowing robe and hood. Weia. I call my girlfriend to A., and ask if we want to go on the afternoon with the children to Logolino. This is an indoor playground to let off steam, if the young in bad weather at home too much on a rampage. Whether the children of women from Organic market may seem, I do not know. They would get there, there are problems in the education of a technical nature that is not Logolino whole-glass. Only chicken nuggets and french fries. Slush and ice (water with sugar and dye).
Alex writes that the Castagnaccio is ready when the surface is crispy. Okay. Done. My photo does not look as natural as that of Alex. And I should tell you something? I do not like the Castagnaccio of Alex, or the tasted of Mestolo ... Mine was botched. Hildegard of Bingen-from-magic has not worked. Although we very much like chestnut, we will enjoy in the future as a whole. Baked in the oven. Neither the consistency nor the taste of Kastanienfladens has promised. Too bad.
When we are in the afternoon in Logolino, I will tell my friend A. (which is incidentally also Alex) from my failure and my trip to the health food store. And then he enters the scene. The man with the lighter pink skinny trousers. Nearly two feet tall and about fifty pounds. Since where to stop the legs I see huge feet in suede boots. Which is covered with purple velvet ribbon above the sole. jingle bells on velvet. From the stem of the boat looking out socks. My breath.
I poke Alex. "Look," I say, "the was determined today in Ökoladen. He has only bought seeds. What eats the other not. "Alex snorts, as he comes towards us. I can barely speak yet. In addition to me so there is a magazine rack for bored mums (Gala, Bunte, woman in the mirror). To which he controlled. It has that facial expression I hardly can describe the. Modestly full of self-satisfied bliss. He flips around. I hiss: "I bet he takes the 'parents', or 'My family and I'?" Of course. Parents. With the eyes I'm looking from the hall, and try to guess which children belong to him. I think from that he is on maternity leave. His wife works. It is independent Reiki Master. Makes sound bowl therapy and such. Gong! Dong! Man I'm stupid. The children go to Waldorf school. Or in the forest nursery. Determined. As babies they did not wear diapers, but cloth diapers. Similar as he is now wearing batik wrapped around his neck. No. Not similar. Exactly this! When his wife comes home tonight he is cooking her a nice cup of tea. They eat 27 different spoon Schuessler salt . Then he reads it in front of the fireplace (ecologically valuable pellet-firing) in front of the Kama Sutra. In the health food store here that he has today purchased. They give each other so much. Ommmmm! Ommmm!
you think sometimes that what's wrong with me? Technically brain?
