hope you are having a fantastic weekend! It's raining over here so I am spending my time reading and cleaning and reading and playing with the pets. And reading.
Check out my friend Celeste's Five Things as well.
1.This "Nussecke".
I can't even tell you how excited I was when I found a vegan Nussecke in the bakery this morning. It'a a pastry made of nuts and chocolate and oats and it tastes so delicious. It's so rich that I could only eat half the thing so far which is surprising because I can usually eat a lot.
2. This syrup.
I also discovered this vegan chocolate syrup this morning and I could not resist. I mean, hello...everybody loves chocolate syrup and you can use it for ice-cream, in your Müsli, in your yogurt, with your pancakes....I love the fact that it only has 3 ingredients: agave syrup, cocoa pasta and sunflower oil.
3. This book.
A new Icelandic crime novel! I can hardly wait! There will also be a new book by Arnaldur Indriðason in January.
4. This book shelf idea.
The more books you own, the more shelves you need. So I guess I need to get creative because I don't have my own castle with huge library yet. I need more storage space for my books, that's for sure. And I think this is a fantastic idea.
5. This pie.
Oh my goodness....a chocolate pudding pie. I think I could eat the whole thing right now. I am searching for some new vegan baking recipes right now and stumbled upon this awesomeness. I will definitely try to bake this pie. And eat it all alone. You can find the recipe here.
I hope you guys are having a fantastic weekend!
Mmh, that Nussecke looks delish! So, I take you are still in Germany? When will you return to the US?
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, sweetie! xxx
It was delicious! I want to try to bake my own Nussecken! Yep, still in Germany! Hugs!
DeleteHaha, its a very foodie five things!!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to pick up an Icelandic crime novel before my trip to Iceland. I consider you to be the expert on Icelandic crime novels so maybe you can tell me your favorite?
Yeah, definitely. :) Well, I like food.
DeleteSure I can recommend you some Icelandic crime novels. I think my favorites are the ones by Arnaldur Indridason. His books are all good but I liked "Voices" a lot. "Jar City" is also one of my favorites.
And I also like the Sigurdardottir books, "Someone to watch over me" is probably my favorite!
Oh man, chocolate pudding pie...nom nom nom!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it looks so good! :) I really need to try this recipe. I need to bake some more!
DeleteI really need more bookshelf space... books are slowly overtaking my entire apartment
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, I know how you feel! Seems like your place looks like mine. :)
DeleteThe Nussecke sounds delicious. Haven't had one of these in ages. :)
ReplyDeleteMe neither! I really need to try to make some myself!
DeleteHii
ReplyDeleteGuten Tag!
Nice cake!! I love chocolate too! and the book shelf is looking really classy...books storage can become a real headache when collection is good and u can't decide which book to keep out of it..I know ur pain :)
Guten Tag Ankita! :)
DeleteChocolate is so yummy! I could eat it pretty much every day! And yeah, I really need more space for my books! There are so many and I don't plan to stop buying them! :)
I'm heading to the Antique Fair in San Telmo neighborhood in Buenos Aires in a bit. I can't wait to discover few more antique kitchen necesities for food photo styling plus explore more of the neighborhood. I've been staying in nearly all week here - trying to be productive with work and of course catching up with last year's travel posts.
ReplyDeleteThe pastry reminds me of a lot of vegan Austrian pastries I have tried. Have you tried Bernds Welt? They make amazing vegan pastries that taste nearly authentic as the real ones (probably the best pastries I had around the world). Here is the link: http://www.veganmiam.com/?s=bernds+welt
Enjoy your weekend, Katrin!
Oh wow, that Antique Fair sounds fascinating! I hope you had a wonderful time there and found some great things. I hope life isn't too busy for you, Rika!
DeleteI have not heard of Bernds Welt but best pastries in the world sounds promising! :) I'll have to check it out! Thanks so much!
Have a great week!
Food and books - two of my favourite things in the world!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Nussecke... that reminds me, my colleague gave me a recipe for Nussecken that I'mm yet to try out...
I am glad we agree on these things! :)
DeleteLet me know how the recipe worked out for you! I really want to make some myself! They are so delicious!
Those shelves are awesome! Such a cool way to dress up a boring wall :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think so too. I would love to have this in my house!
