catching up

today Skaterina ate peaches from her tree

they were put in the freezer and now they are free !

once upon a time Skaterina went skiiing with some old pals

with the family daughter they met up in Davos, Switzerland, for the first

Alp on the journey

Skaterina broke her leg on the beginners slope

which was actually about half way up the Alp

not at all like a little bunny hill / it was steep

what made it the beginners slope was all the beginners !

Skaterina fell down so much that the family daughter was glad she had broken her leg or she might have slid all the way to town

so, cast on her leg, they went on to Kitzbuehl, Austria

they drove over from Davos so they stopped in Lichenstein for lunch !

liver dumpling soup / oh my

In Kitzbuehl she stumped around on the cast and a cane

she took the tram and went up the Alp to where the skiing took place

there was a cafe

the skiers cd eat without leaving the slopes

since it was kinda far up there / and, you know, steep

Skaterina noticed plates of food that she cdnt identify / she didnt speak much german either

Was is das ?  was all she cd manage / didnt understand the answer at all

the plates looked piled high with some kind of noodle

this was the most popular meal for the skiers

years go by

she never forgot those plates of Was Is das ?

when she opened a restaurant

she bought some Time.LIfe cookbooks

each book was a different country's cuisine

in the book of Austria she discovered Kaiser Schmarm

she was an inveterate recipe reader

(and we know there are some spelling checks to be done here)

Kaiser Schmarm was Ruined Pancakes

you know how when you make crepes the first one or two arent so gorgeous ?

put them aside

then when you want to make Kaiser Schmarm you saute some apples, raisins, brown sugar or other sweet, add the ruined crepes which you tear into pieces

today Caterina cut the crepes she made the other day / she cut them in strips like fettuccine and added them to the peaches which were warming in butter

little maple syrup

wonderful breakie on a snowy day

will be back soon with Spell Check
