045: strawberry jam

This holiday was one of the craziest and most enjoyable yet. It's all about loosening up and enjoying friends, food and fun. Here is a pre-Christmas meal once again at my neighbour's house. There is something so magical about the way Lisi cooks. She showed me how she makes schnitzel.
Next time, I wanna learn to make spaetzle.

This is the Austrian equivalent of matzo ball soup.


Freshly dredged and fried schnitzel! There is a mix of bludgeoned veal and lean beef.


Luckily, I watch enough of the Food Network that I immediately recognized these to be fingerling potatoes and wasn't at all shocked that some of them were purple!


I love when kids have their food sliced into a million pieces. Do you see the purple tater?


Oh hai.


The kids brought over these cookies which had pieces of toblerone in the centre. cute.


And obviously tea.


One thing I've learned far too late is how lovely winter is when you're dressed right for it. Leave your phone at home, put on big dorky boots and mitts and go for a walk in the snow!
