Pizza

The biggest Pizza in the City.

Half Italian Sausage, half veggies.
I invited my boyfriend for a birthday dinner, we watched “Despicable Me 2” before that (cute movie, the first is cuter and funnier but pt.2 is good too).
The pizza is so big it hardly fits on the table (and plate) and guess what?! I ate it all!

It’s a Girl

Today it’s official – I’m becoming my second niece!

So, sometime in January 2014 I’ll have two nephews and two nieces 🙂 I’m having trouble remembering the birthyears already. I know the dates, but the year?! Too challenging to remember.

See T1, now you know what I blog about… important things like this (and enough not important crap 😉 ). You can even comment below 🙂

I posted this blog post exactly 7! years ago

Gnocchi with a Bacon-Cream Sauce

It’s a dinner which goes fast and men (at least mine) love it (it’s got bacon) 🙂
Got the idea from my mom, she made it a couple of weeks ago and it was soo good so I started making it as well (with the help of my boyfriend of course).
Gnocchi with cream and bacon
You need:

  • Gnocchi (500g for two people)
  • Butter (you can use oil, but seing it’s a quite fatty meal already (cream, butter, bacon) I use butter for the taste
  • Onions
  • Bacon
  • Cream
  • grinded Parmesan Cheese
  • To spice it up: Herbs, sunflower seeds, black & white pepper, Curcuma, salt

In a pan, put a chunk of butter with the onions and let them get glassy. Then add the bacon and sunflower seeds if you want. Add the cream and grinded parmesan and let it simmer. Add spices.
I then made the Gnocchi in a separate pan and added the cream sauce and mixed it all together. Tastes good with a big mixed salad on the side.

Things I love while biking in the City pt.I

What I love and enjoy most when I ride to work and back home: little hideaways where there are no cars and almost never people. I always look for little sideways I can ride and I’m more than happy to take a bit longer to work but to have the feeling I’m riding in nature.
Biking in the City
Sometimes it’s really hard to believe I’m in the middle of a big city 🙂

Slimmed it down

I’d like to buy a GPS watch for biking and jogging. I think I had about ten different ones on my amazon wish list and always read the reviews and also googled a lot of reviews. You go nuts – it’s just like with little digital cameras, there are so many you go nuts reading all the reviews and deciding.

I slimmed my choice down to four, the Garmin Forerunner 210, 310XT, 410 and 610.

So, today I went to a store named “Runners Point” to look at all those watches.

They didn’t have the 410, it sounded like the 610 was the newer version. I liked the 210 and 610 on my wrist, my favorit from the looks was the 210.

I decided I probably don’t need all the functions the 310XT has, also it’s huge, it’s like having a computer on your wrist (which, actually, I wouldn’t mind – I thought it was bigger when looking at it online but it did fit quite well).

So, I was looking at the 210 and 610. The watch should track my route, should tell me how fast I am, measure my heart rate and a thing which would be really nice – to measure the altitude difference. That the 610 can do, the 210 not.

So, sometime in the future I’m going to buy the Garmin Forerunner 610 with its touchscreen and hope I like it 🙂

Oh – my Hamartoma is gone!!! So so happy! The doctor just couldn’t find it. I stopped taking the Nuvaring in March which might be a reason for its disappearance but who knows…

[EDIT]Friday: Bought the Forerunner 610. We shall see 😀[/EDIT]
