First things first. Can't start this mother of all posts without some recipes!
Nom-b(e)ars
Shopping list:
1/3 cup or 100g of peanut butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla or a few drops of vanilla extract
2 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup
250g of white or dark chocolate
1 1/2 cup of rice krispies
What to do:
Heat the peanut butter and honey in a small pot until it starts to bubble. Stir in the vanilla. Now stir in the krispies in parts until covered. Scoop the mixture out of your pot, spread on a parchment paper and shape in to a nice flat rectangle. Use a chef knife to flatten it. Set it aside to cool. Melt the chocolate in a small pot and pour it on the peanut butter krispie brick. Throw that monster in the fridge for a hour, cut it into bite size bars and enjoy the sugar rush.
What-we-have-lying-around quiche
Since we had some pastry dough in the fridge, here's a quick and dirty summery quiche.
Shopping list:
Ready made pastry dough of any kind (make sure it's not sweet tho)
3 eggs
200ml of milk
200g of cheese
some feta
asparagus
broccoli
a handful of chopped mint and basil
175g of prosciutto
Roll your pastry out on the kitchen counter and transfer it to a pastry dish. Make sure it fit's all nice and snuggly. Press in the sides. Bake it for 10-15 minutes around 200*C. While your pastry is getting nice and crusty, steam the broccoli and asparagus. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, cheese, milk, basil and mint. Once your pastry is out of the oven, throw in the asparagus and broccoli. Pour over the egg mixture and cover it with prosciutto strips and bake for 30 minutes at 200*C.
On other news
Did we break up? Did we forgot to pay our cable bill? Did Panda move to Nepal where he will live as a goat? No! Tho Panda really want's to go to Nepal one day. We've been up to all kinds of silly shenanigans. First of all there was Telliskivi Street Food Festival we had to visit. What can we say, a whole lot of standing in lines. Luckily the weather was nice so we did our rounds trying to have a bite of everything. If bear stops resisting and finally agrees to let Panda have his own food truck, maybe you'll see us there next year serving you THE ROLL.
We also had our wedding cherries popped (this is a porn blog after all), when Pandas old classmate got married. Wohoo! Kibe! Cute couple, cute place, FOOOOD! Be sure to visit Koluvere castle when you have a chance. Perfect place for a weekend getaway. We wanted to lock ourselves up in one of those comfy rooms and never leave but that wouldn't have been nice of us. You can call us Count Panda and Bear now. Yes you have to bow.
But that is not all. If you keep reading NOW you will get to read some more. Yauza! For the midsummer festivities we crammed ourselves inside a bus with five hundred old ladies who went to Estonian Open Air Museum. Terrified, we stayed on the bus and retreated to our friends place to have a proper FEAST. I'm not holding back on that word. By 1 pm we were so fat and lazy that we barely managed to order a cab. After having a gazillion course dinner with all kinds of tasty things (hats off to Mr. Olivers burgers!) we finished the course with some ribs (who does that) and skipped dessert (see, I'm not joking, it was a FEAST, nobody skips dessert). Thanks for Oliver & Anett & the sous-chef crew for inviting us! Be sure to check out what Anett is up to on her blog!
Now I'll stop making clicky noises with my keyboard, so you can enjoy all the visual goodies from our past few weeks (after Bear checks my typos of course).
