Made (American) Chinese takeout-style Hot and Sour Soup for lunch. Not bad for a first effort. This version has chicken stock, pork shoulder, and egg (original recipe). In the future I might try a vegan version.

Grittibänz & Hiking
Took the day off for the Immaculate Conception and baked Grittibänz and went for a hike in the fog. Was that very Swiss?
Cat butt cookies
Our son printed cat butt cookie cutters in two sizes to represent our two cats. Note the nuts on the larger tomcat cookies. 🤣
Cream cheese recipe
We also made fresh cream cheese (with chives) to serve with the bagels. Surprisingly easy.
Bagel recipe
We made our first ever bagels today (NY style, naturally). They might look like Benjamin Button, but they were so delicious. First decent bagel I’ve had since moving to Switzerland three years ago.
Pizza dippers
In other news I have just invented “pizza dippers”. That’s where you tear off hunks of fresh-baked pizza dough bread into a dip of pizza sauce and toppings. Where’s the wine?
Pizza dough bread
That feeling when you think the pizza dough is rising in one oven and the other oven is preheating to 220°C, but then you realize it’s all the same oven.
More hand rolls
More hand rolls. This might become my go-to weekday lunch: tasty, healthy (I think) and relatively quick.
Vegan hand rolls
Vegan hand rolls for lunch. Made with quinoa instead of sushi rice. These have a little bit of everything inside, including wild garlic, oyster mushrooms, and lemon zest.
Sweet potato soup
Just cooked up a shitload of vegetable soup in the pressure cooker. Must be at least 8 liters of soup. Mostly sweet potato but has a little bit of everything (including fennel and a radish).
