Mittagessen

Der letzte Tag der Woche in der Kantine bringt, nun  ja, interessantes Essen.

Überbackene Schweinsmedallions mit Zuckererbsen und Kroketten


It's raining cats and dogs

Yesterday was a quite evening after work. My dear and a dear friend did their weekly creative meeting while I was strolling around in Guild Wars 2 and completed my monthlies.

Since I really stared to pour in the evening I returned our friend home with our car, so that she wouldn't get too soaked.

Back home we just watched one episode of Top Gear on the couch.

Our cats love the lower temperature due to the rain and they were quite active the whole evening.

Mittagessen

Der Schnitzeltag ist gekommen und mit ihm das Schnitzel der Woche.

Hühnerschnitzel in Cornflakespanier mit Beilage nach Wahl


The late update of Guild Wars 2

After work I went to my parents for dinner yesterday. The sweet delight of the week was a soft cheese soufflé.


After that I went home in the pouring rain of the evening and then went to our nice local vet to fetch the medicine for Bubu-bear and to get an appointment for Mieze-cat for a - as the assistent jokingly called it - small service: remove tartar, trim the claws and brush the fur.

Back home I tried to play with the cats for a bit, but I seem to have fallen asleep during the play session. When I woke up again I wanted to try out the latest update in Guild Wars 2, but it hasn't arrived yet. When it finally was available to download and play it was quite late so I decided to play it today and of course post pictures here as well.

We concluded the evening with another episode of Da Vinci's Demons.

Bubu-bear is sound asleep and doesn't seem to notice the big eye that's watching him yet again.

Mittagessen

Heute war die Wahl wieder leicht, da ich kein Gulasch mag und die Puffer auch komisch ausgesehen haben.

Schopfsteak mit Ofenerdäpfel und Fisolen


Minty chocolate

On my way home yesterday I went to Merkur and did some shopping for this week's baking, because I needed mint syrup. Unfortunately I forgot some ingredients, so I had to shop again at Spar when I got home.

Finally home, the cats welcomes me and wanted to be entertained, which I did for a short time before relaxing myself for a bit.

After dinner I started baking and this week it was a chocolate mint cake, where the chocolate is inside the biscuit layer and in the form of mint-choloate bits inside the cream-mint filling.


The evening entertainment at first was logging through Guild Wars 2 a bit and afterwards falling onto the couch and watching one episode each of Top Gear and Da Vinci's Demons. The later is getting better by the episode - at least in our opinion - and we have only seen two so far. Let's see how this turns out...

Mittagessen

Die Woche beginnt mit (optisch) wenig ansprechendem Essen.

Gebratener Leberkäse mit Erdäpfel und Gemüse


Und das gibt es den Rest der Woche:


Games and more

Yesterday we couldn't sleep as long as we wanted, because we had to leave earlier. For lunch we went to get ourselves food from a grill buffet, which we tried for the first time. It was quite good, bur for my taste there was too little variaty of meat and sides. The salad buffet on the other hand was quite ok.



On our way home we manage to get into the rain and then I had to get out the couch piece from the day before.

Back home we were waiting for out guests, dear friends who we invited for a board game afternoon.

The first game we played was Las Vegas, which was quite well taken by our guests. After that there was small break and we presented some holiday pictures on our screen. After that we helped ourselves to the delicious food our guests brought with them, before we started play the next game: Dungeon Fighter.

I think there are no friends left at the moment, with whom we didn't play that game already. It's always great fun and good for some laughter all the way. This time the fight was quite close again, but we managed to do it thanks to some healing fountains on our way and then we finally defeated Great Cthulhu!

The last game we played then was Star Fluxx.

In the evening we watched the current episode of Defiance followed by an old episode of Top Gear before we went to bed.

Gandalf is obviously quite pleased to be in the same picture as me.

Photo session with cats

On Saturday we tried to sleep longer. It worked almost fine, but our cats wanted to be fed at some point anyway.


At noon I went shopping while my dear went to her roleplaying session. So I did the shopping for the weekend and for the planned baking session later that day. I came of course home quite sweaty and exhausted.

So I lay down for a bit and the cats were kind enough to let me sleep for a while. Afterwards I brought three old couch pieces to the car for later disposal and then baked the promised apricot cake.


Afterwards I did a photo session with the cats. The result of this session can be seen over the next few days here in this blog.

In the evening, when my dear came home, we watched the season finale of Hell's Kitchen and I have to admit it was a worthy winner this time around.

Ecliptic space battles

After a short working day I went home back to our cats and to my dearie. Since Planet Harry was still closed for vacation and the weather was still quite hot, I decided not to leave the flat again for the rest of the day.

Later that afternoon some friends came over and we had a lengthy game of Eclipse. My plant beings were being decimated quite quickly, especially from a nasty space pirate race.

Since the game took quite a while, we went to bed quickly afterwards, without watching any tv series episodes that evening.

Bubis is perplexed - "Are you taking pictures of me?"

Car demons

Yesterday I left work earlier, because I went to see a doctor. On my way home I bought us dinner - döner - and back home I almost had to fight for it because our cat wanted a share. When I finished she was quite disappointed, but some play sessions made her happy again.

We then spent the evening quite relaxed and later fell onto the couch. I showed my dear the first episode of Da Vinci's Demons and we decided to continue watching it together. The conclusion then was an old episode of Top Gear.

Mittagessen

Und schon ist die kulinarische Woche wieder zu Ende. Zum Abschluss gab es wieder schwere Entscheidungen und das ist dabei rausgekommen.

Panzarotti mit Prosciutto & Salbei in Nussbutter garniert mit frischem Ruccola


Apricots and chocolate

Yesterday after work I was at my parent's and got really delicious Marillenknödel.


Since I returned my father's car I then went home via public transport. The cats were impatiently waiting for me already and some time later my dearie returned from her spa vacation.

We spent the evening being exhausted and at home, the only thing I still did was the weekly baking of this almond-chocolate cake.


Afterwards we fell on the couch and only managed to watch one episode of Top Gear before we had to go to bed.

The tom cat found a new box and has to inspect it very carefully.

Mittagessen

Da ist er wieder - der Schnitzeltag!

Cordon Bleu mit Beilage nach Wahl


Pirates on the horizon

I was at work quite long yesterday and thus came home very late. The cats already started to look for a new owner, but I came back right on time and they didn't leave me out of sight for the rest of the evening - you can't be sure when he's gonna come back.

After dinner I then did go out again, but not far. I loaded my dad's car with comic boxes and old games for the X-Box, PS2 and Wii, for safekeeping. The cats very nearly panicking when I was going out the door again. Both of them then presumably waited right behind the door for me to return. Then again everything was fine again for them.

I spent the evening on the couch watching the first episode of Black Sails. The tv series recounts the story before Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and is slightly less brutal than Crossbones. We will see how the series progresses and if I continue to watch it.

Busbi is happy in our bed, but still is curious why the big eye is watching him.

Mittagessen

Heute war die Wahl etwas schwerer aber nachdem keine Leber dabei war wurde es

Gegrilltes Allerlei mit Pommes frites und Kräuterbutter


Of heat and demons

It was extremely hot in the ciry again yesterday. So I was glad when I finally came home. The cats were quite merry despite the heat, but they also wanted to be fed. After I've done that I quickly went out again to do some shopping and after that to stay home for the rest of the day.

After a little bit of Guild Wars 2 I then watched the very first episode of Da Vinci's Demons. It is quite interesting and I guess I'll continue to watch the season. The funny thing is that I also got the urge to continue to play Assassin's Creed 2 - both the series and the game take place in Florence during the Renaissance.

After doing the household chores and some playing with the cats I fell into the bed exhausted and sweat-soaked.

The cat sleeps quite peacefully now.

Mittagessen

Die Woche beginnt und die Auswahl fällt schwer.

Jungschweinschnitzel in Parmesankruste mit Erdäpfel und Zucchini


Und das gibt es den Rest der Woche dann:


Water in the city

Yesterday my dearie went on a short vacation with her mother to Bad Blumau. I went to see my parents at Alte Donau for lunch, because due to the heat in the city it was better there than in the flat. Unfortunately the cats weren's that lucky, but I left them wet towels on the bathroom floor, perhaps that did help them after all.


For lunch there was some grilled stuff, which tasted very good.


Afterwards it was siesta time for me. And no, I didn't go into the water (again).


Back home the cats were desperately waiting for me already and they got their food immediately. Then I found some RPG bargains on willhaben.at so I checked that out and went to collect it on the same evening.

The rest of the evening I spent watching Ender's Game, interrupted by some cat amusement sessions, but that was ok since they deserved it.

The cats are plotting or waiting for something or they are just hot - who knows?
