Sauerkraut Takes Over




Look what Germany has done to me! I cannot get enough sauerkraut. This seems like some ridiculous combination that would only make sense if you were pregnant (which I am definitely not), but it seems to make total sense in my current head space. It's very simple:

- tofu wurst/sausage
- gnocchi, boiled and then fried in a pan with oil until browned
- mushrooms
- garlic
- sauerkraut thrown in at the end to warm

I swear it works. I was going to do the same with potatoes instead of gnocchi, but was too hungry to wait for potatoes to cook. I have been eating really crappy since I've been in Rostock, Germany to teach a 7-week English intensive course and haven't had time to cook/had been living in hostels while working/Rostock isn't the most vegan city ever.

Anyway, found a Bio/Organic market and spent almost 30 euro there (ouch). My body will thank me though, I hope. I'll make up for it with all the lunches I won't be eating out during work now? Maybe?

But yes. I live in Germany now. This is why my updates have been a bit lacking. Unfortunately, the move and ensuing craziness mean I cannot participate in Vegan MoFo this year, but I will be back in a month or so with updates, recipes and the norm! Hopefully also cool vegan discoveries from Germany and Berlin! I have not abandoned you Nommies!

Until then, you may just have to put up with me raving about sauerkraut for a bit longer...
