White Asparagus

Through our kitchen window in the cottage:

We are living on a dirt road in a small village in the country where we are surrounded by woods and wetlands. Its very green here. Thats the road behind the fence.

In the village we have an adorable market where we can get "Frisher Spargle" which means fresh asparagus. In Germany it is far more popular to get white asparagus than green. I think its delicious. Especially when we eat them like we did on Day 1 when the family came over. I made a soy-cream sauce with herbs and we drizzeled it over steamed asaparagus. Side: boiled potatoes.


Every morning Bea stops by this market to pick up fresh made Vollkorn Broetchen. These are beautiful whole wheat rolls that are topped with Kurbiskern (Pumpkin Seeds) or Mohn (Poppy Seeds).

The cool bread slicing machine in our cottage!
Looking from outside the house into Bea's kitchen. Those are some of the veggies delivered to the house in a crate every wednesday.
