BlogDay 2006

BlogDayHeute ist BlogDay. Nachdem mein bescheidener Blog schon hier und hier** (http://thecookingadventuresofchefpaz.blogspot.com/2006/08/happy-blog-day-august-31-2006.html nicht mehr verfügbar) erwähnt wurde, wird es Zeit, die 5 Blogs vorzustellen, bei denen ich in unregelmäßigen Abständen vorbeischaue und die nicht in meiner Blogroll stehen.

Es handelt sich sowohl um englischsprachige Blogs aber auch um deutschsprachige Blogs.

Ich verfolge mit Interesse

Favo(u)rite kitchen-tool or gadget: Ice-cream scoop(s)

This month Cate from Sweetnicks asks for foodblogger’s favorite – without u – cooking tool. Cate is not the only one, who’s interested in kitchen tools. Pamela from
Posie’s place (link www.posiesplace.net now defunct) started a one off blogging event and asks for Favourite Kitchen Gadgets
For both questions the answer is: ice-cream scoop(s) my kitchen tool of the year 2005. In November last year I had only one, now I own three with different sizes. 10 ml, 20 ml, 40 ml.

Of course you can use them to scoop ice-cream, but I also use them to get equal portions of dough. The 40-ml-size is good for muffins or this dish. The medium scoop was used for rhubarb-dumplings, salmon profiteroles, (Black) only White Cookies. And it has the right size for the 24-hole muffin tin. I used it for the Mini carrot muffins

With the small one I made 200 peanut cookies for the Advent basar at school.

I would be lost if it wasn’t for my ice-cream scoop(s).

Blogging by mail

Stephanie – The Happy sorceress – from Dispensing Happiness is hosting the Blogging By Post event. I got my swap partner and did some shopping. My parcel starts to a long journey abroad, so I had to chose things with a long shelf life. Here is my choice:

Blogging by mail Paket 001

I managed to reduce the parcel’s weight under the allowed 2 kg and brought a 1927-g-parcel to our post office.

Although one counter was closed, I didn’t have to wait long.

I hope the parcel passes the foreign customs without any trouble.

01.10.2006: My parcel finally arrived at the Restaurant Widow 08.07.2020 **. You’ll see what’s missing ;-).
