Re: What's For Dinner?
I've never been a big fan of pumpkin... but perhaps it's only because I didn't grow up with it and I was served a very tasteless pumpkin pie as a kid a few times....
But for tonight I foud a can of soup in a drawer, creamy tomato, added some macaroni and heated up yet another garlic bread!

Re: What's For Dinner?
I was busy today and so I ate my lunch in a restaurant. It was an OK thing, but a bit tasteless and as all restaurant food, it was not that big on real nourishment.
So for dinner I decided on super-quick and very nourishing and tasty Indian recipe - Paneer Bhurji!
I ommited green and red chilli and used a bit of a smoked paprika instead, likewise I substituted an Indian cheese with normal cottage / curd chees. The food was ready in twenty minutes and I ate it with dark bread, to wipe out a tomato sauce with it. It was absolutely delicious, yum!

See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Yeah, I recommend that website heartily - the lady conjures up the tastiest food literally out of nothing and it usually takes only a little time to cook.

Re: What's For Dinner?
I usually substitute it or buy it from our local Indian place (they make some excess they are not using in their restaurant and sell it to the public).

I've made paneer before, it was quite cheap and easy, although I made a huge mess of my kitchen!

At the moment I don't feel too tempted to try - I'm afraid I wouldn't have the patience

Feta is very overpowering and tasty, so if I was you, I would really use just "Quark" as it´s called in Germany:
(Milchprodukt)

Re: What's For Dinner?
Our quark is too soft, probably - and I wouldn't want to start pressing it for better consistence, which might work, though. (I told you, my kitchen skills are a mess

Re: What's For Dinner?
In Slovakia we can choose between softer and firmer consistency, so I presumed it´s similar in Germany. But I think even softer quark wouldn´t hurt this particular dish - it would be only a bit more runny.

Re: What's For Dinner?
No, here's just one basic consistency available, unfortunately - you are talking of Tvaroh, aren't you?
Wow, we are becoming experts now!

Yes, it´s called Tvaroh where I live. (You´re knowledgable, I´m impressed!)

(Wikipedia is my friend ... You can find there even the differences between German and Austrian/Hungarian/Slovakian soft cheese culture!!!)

I guess Sherlock would be proud of us, knowledge like this might be handy, some day!

"No, it was NO feta, it wasn't even Topfen or Tvaroh, it was Quark, soft and runny, which could only mean that the nephew couldn't have done it ..."
