Sorry, but the price you have to pay for that service is way too much, I prefer to call a professional babysitter, she get´s her money and you are not reqired to join stupid "neighbourhood-family-afternoons" or such a stuff where the only things that are talked about are: special offers on diapers and great offers at the shopping-channel!

Here we go again! Just returned from a convention in Munich this morning and had the thought of taking a day off work, but when I realized, the house is still a awesome mess (Thanks god the new maid will start her work on monday!!!!) I decided to head to the restaurant and do a new recipe for all of you: Sesame-crusted Salmon with Thai-Aromatics on a Salad with Coconut-cream Dressing ... o.k., that´s it for today, I´m a little bit in hurry now, because we have a date with Tina Turner at the Munich Olympiahalle tonight! ...hope you enjoyed this recipe, Gerd ...simply awesome, this combination of the aromatics: sweet, sour, spicy and the mild taste of the coconut versus the little fire of the thai-peppers! .. é VOILA! Take the salmon out of the oven, cut it diagonal and put it on top of the salad, garnish with some coriander-leaves. Take a big plate, put some salad in the middle, ... Meanwhile you can finish the salad: Add som roquette and mix it in carefully. ... and give it to the warm oven (175°F) for 5 more minutes. Saute it for max. 1 minute from every (!!!) side ... Saute the salmon in the not to hot fat and pour some of the flavored fat over it. Melt the palm-fat in a non-sticky pan and flavor it with lime-peel and garlic. and finally roll it trough the sesame seeds, pat it down a little bit so that the sesame sticks well. ... then dip it into the egg, ... Roll the fish in the flour, shake off the flour that is to much, ... Take the salmon out of the marinade and dry it with kitchen-tissues. Set up for the sesame-crust: Take three plates. put some flour into the first one, in th second one, you mix an egg with some cream and in the third one, pour the sesame-seeds! ...and mix it carefully. Pour the salad-sauce over it... Flavor with a little bit of salt and Five-spice-seasoning. Chop a bunch of coriander-leaves and add it to the salad. Give them to the veggie-stripes. Wash the cherry-tomatos and cut them into small stripes. Put those stripes in a salad-bowl. Peel the cucumber and remove the seeds, peel the carrot, peel the pepper and remove the seeds and the inner white skins. Cut all in thin (!!!) stripes of equal size. On to the salad itself: Cucmber, Carrot, red Peppers, Cherry-Tomatos and Coriander-leaves! Mix it up very well! Add some salt, honey, lime-juice, chopped limepeel, Thai-peppers and ginger root. Now to the sauce for the salad: Warm a little bit of the coconut-cream so it will get liquid. Let the fish marinate in the fridge for max. 1 hour (!!!) , if you let it marinate longer, that marinade colours the fish dark inside! Pour this marinade over the Salmon-Filets. ... and mix up very well! .. and some soy-sauce... Add some honey... Mince some coriander leaves and give them into the marinade. Squeeze the juice out of the lime and pour it over the other ingredients. Peel and chop a piece of the ginger-root, do so with a bit of garlic and add it to the mixing-glass. Peel a untreated (!!!) lime, chop the peel and add it to the Thai-pepper-pieces. Open up the Thai-Pepper and remove all the seeds and the inner white skin, chop it really small and give it in a mixing glas. Now we have to prepare the marinade for the fish. We need Soy-sauce, a lime, a Thai-pepper, some honey, a piece of Ginger-root, a little bit of garlic and some coriander-leaves. Cut the filets in thumb-thick stripes and lay it in a casserolle. Take the salmon and remove all the fishbones with a tweezers. When I prepare fish, I allways use one in "Sushi"-quality, with that you can be sure you can eat it raw and won´t fall sick with food-poisoning. Those filets are cut out of a wild scottish salmon that was delivered to me this morning as a whole fish and it was fished just yesterday in the evening. When working with raw fish and stuff like those extreme spicy Thai-peppers, PLEASE wear gloves and make sure your kitchen-tools are very clean! That´s the stuff we need today: Salmon, hot Thai-Peppers, Untreated Limes, a big piece of Ginger-root, Carrots, Red peppers, an egg or two, a cucumber, some roquette, Palm Fat, Coriander-leaves, dark soy.sauce (Thai-style), Cream of coconut, Flour, garlic, Honey and Five-Spice-seasoning. The first thing I do in the morning when I arrive at the restaurant is heading to the office and check all the Deliveries, the tonight´s reservations and such stuff. ... Hey, don´t take a pic of me before i had a gallon of coffee and one cigarette at least!

Yes, but on my opinion, "Waffle House" is more tasty and the staff is more friendly. Have you forgotten your partner´s birhtday once?

Just ordered a Club-Sandwich with fries and some Caesars´salad as well as a bottle of spring water, a box of cigarettes (Sh.., that´s a non-smokers-room, but it has a balcony!) and a bottle of Chardonnay at the room service - 48,- Euros

"mommy- or Daddy friends" are such a worse thing! The most parents of our kiddies friends act like they ended up with their live. In their opinion, they have done for the society what they are supposed to do: They married, they persuaded a child (or two. or three...), they go to work and don´t need any more time for themselves or their partnership! They call you "crazy", "weird", "irresponsible", etc... when you deny to life your life their way!!! (I feel by far too young to say goodbye to fun in live!) My wife and I really love our kids and we would give our lives for them, they are the greatest treasures we own, but we don´t treat them like "handicapped" beings! Parents who overprotect their children remove them their possibility to develop into "effective" acting human beings. Those kids will have very severe problems as grown-up to make Decisions for their own. So: "Mommy- or Daddy-friends" are LOOSER!!!! Gerd

Oh yes, mostly every night, until my wife wakes me up and tells me I should go to bed now! Do you wake up in the middle of the night and plunder your fridge?

^^ I can understand you so much! Everytime there´s a new wave of bad cold or anything like flu reaching our 2 kids kindergarten, we leave them at home. For parents it the pure horror to see that their children have aches or pain that you can´t take away from them, and it´s even the pure horror that you can´t get a single moment of sleep while having sick kiddies in the house. ...it´s not such a problem with our son: when he feels sick, he is very silent and wants to sleep all the time, but with my daughter Marlene, she turns in an awful "Drama-Queen" that sees her mommy and daddy as private slaves, asking for something to drink, another (=daddy´s) pillow, etc..... all through the night! But, back to basic, in my eyes, Parents who send their sick children to a place where they can infect other children act in a total irresponsible way.

Everytime I go to the states now, I take a "Dollar" rental. Always have made good experiences with that company, their fleet is very young and very good maintained, the customer-service is friendly (at least at the airport offices of MIA, JFK, LAX and LAS) and they have that Young and Easy deal where you can rent with 21 years with all insurances needed and without any restrictions of leaving a state. And:They have the cheapest one-way rental fares. Best for you when you book your rental from Europe, it´s a way much cheaper than booking it directly in the US.

Try this one: Dip your vegetables into seasoned creamcheese (or some compareable lactose-free stuff!) and roll it into spring-roll-dough, fry it: awesome!

Even if I´m not such a fan of ready mixed seasonings, there´s one thing I hardly can´t resist: OLD BAY! Too bad you can´t get it in Germany, so every time I give my relatives in Florida a visit I take a big bunch of Old Bay back home. Hey Jay, a tip to you: Try the same thing you did with the onions with raw broccoli or small portobello mushrooms, I think you´ll love it! Gerd.
