Hi Dudes,
on monday I arrived in Karlsruhe. In 2002 I spent a couple of months in Karlsruhe and did an internship at Siemens and a small software company. So I am quite familiar with the city and made a short trip to the “Karlsruher Schloß” taking photos. Again with sunshine and blues skies – I am really lucky with the weather. I hope it goes on like this.
I stayed for a couple of hours at my aunts place and she prepared a nice “Wurstsalat” – hmm yummy. After this we baked a cheesecake with red oranges.
In the evening I traveled further to Ina and Andre. There we made a pumpkin-paprika soup with garlic croutons and spinach-gnocchi with roasted pumpkin and spinach. I have never prepared homemade gnocchi before, I think it has worked quite well. Maybe a little bit more salt for the dough next time. As dessert we had a piece of the cheesecake we prepared at midday. You can find the recipes between the pictures below.
We spend a cozy evening with wine, good food and music. Many thanks to my aunt Annedore and Ina and Andre for being great hosts on my tour. Next stop: Freiburg
