Same old, same old

Yesterday I was for dinner at my parents and it was roasted bread dumpling with egg.


After that I continued to fill boxes with books before going home to the cats, who eagerly awaited my return - and their food.

Afterward I went to Guild Wars 2 for the dailies and after that on the couch to watch some recent episodes of Gotham and Mysteries of Laura.

"I bet there's something for me as well!"

Mittagessen

Und den Abschluss der Kantinenwoche macht diesmal

Putenrollbraten mit im Ofen gegartem Wurzelgemüse, dazu Hörnchen


The weekly Viennese Bake Off

Yesterday I was at my parent's for ... yes, dinner and it was an Austrian speciality - Kaiserschmarrn.


Afterwards I packed some more of my paperback books, before heading home. On my way home I did some shopping for the weeekly baking session. When I came home the cats were very interested in the shopping bag. "What's inside that bag? Something for us we reckon!"

After a short stop at Guild Wars 2 I started baking because the cake needed to bake for almost 2 hours. It was a good idea to start early, because otherwise the cake might have been finished about nowish. The recipe was from the BBC, more to the point from Paul Hollywood - one of the judges of the The Great British Bake Off. It is/was a Piña colada Madeira cake and we will see how it tastes or is appriciated.



After that I went to Guild Wars 2 for the dailies before sitting on the couch with the cats and watching the latest episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

"This mouse tastes funny, I think it has already expired!"

Mittagessen

Da ein Schnitzel per Definition ja nicht deftig ist, heute mal ein Schnitzel.

Gebackene Schweinsmedallion mit Beilage nach Wahl


Cleaning up - needs to be done

Yesterday I was at my parent's for dinner, which was bread dumpling with mushrooms.


After that I dd some more cleaning up in my old room - now I have most of my soft-cover books in boxes for storage. Afterwards I went home where the cats awaited my return. So I played with them and then fed them before going to Guild Wars 2 myself to do the dailies. After that I did some cleaning up in our flat as well and hope that soon the board games will be sorted the way I want them to be.

The conclusion of the day was the most recent episode of Sleepy Hollow and before I went to bed I had another playing session with the cats.

"I'm still watching you!"

Mittagessen

Wieder etwas sehr deftiges am Speiseplan und wieder nehme ich etwas anderes.

Überbackene Hühnerbrust Provenziale mit bunten Nudeln


Usual Monday

Yesterday I was at my parent's for dinner and it was great pancakes.


Afterwards I went home and was greeted by a horde - at least that what it sounded like - of hungry cats. Turned out it was only our two so I quickly fed them. After that they wanted a play session, so I complied. Then finally I was allowed to do something on my own.

First I went to Guild Wars 2 and the current Halloween event and then I wacthed the most recent episodes of Once Upon a Time and QI - while being warmed by a fluffy cat-warmer on my lap.

"I'm just sitting here and waiting till my food appears right at this place."

Mittagessen

Die Woche könnte deftig anfangen, aber ich habe mich für etwas anderes entschieden.

Kürbistortelloni mit Kräuterpesto und Parmesan


Und so geht es die Woche über weiter.


Time for whisky

Yesterday I was out for lunch with my dear at Mohnwirt.



After that we went to the first Austria Whisky distillery and did taste some of the whisky. Of course we also bought some for tasting back home again as well.

In the evening I was playing some Guild Wars 2 before watching the latest Doctor Who together with the cats - and it was quite a woody performance.

"This mouse tastes strange, but there must be something to eat for me!"

Not quite a relaxing Saturday

On Saturday I slept longer and got quite a big breakfast. Afterwards I wanted to go photo shooting in the inner city. On my way there I made some problems with my health and so I decided not to continue.

I wanted to take a quick lunch at Burgermachern, but they - until further notice - open on Saturday later in the afternoon. So I went on to Mariahilf and visited Harry a second time this week before going home early.

Once there I felt a little better, but still I didn't do much for the rest of the day including doing stuff on my PC.

In the evening I baked something for my dear - Mary Berry's cherry cake (out of the Great British Bake Off). I think it worked out quite nice.


The tom cat is looking suspicious - in reality he's just avoiding the camera.

Friday's shopping trip

Yesterday was my long shopping afternoon and after a short break at home to fed and pet the cats I went to Mariahilf. On my way there I stopped atTasty Donuts and Bobby's to buy some stuff for the nice Planet Harry team as a cheerup. For lunch I once again stayed at mySchnitzel before I moved on to Harry's shop.


This time there was a lot of good stuff for me to buy, especially for Star Trek Attack Wing. Well packed I then went on to buy our dinner at Natsu before going home to the hungry cats. They were quite happy about their small portion of the fish and some time later I was even allowed to eat my portion as well.

I spent the evening in Guild Wars 2 together with The Grey. Of the planned guild mission we managed to do only a part and spent der rest of the time at the Halloween event to collect some nice loot.


The pussy cat likes to lie at my neck - on top of my chair - and look over my shoulder.

It's Halloween time in Tyria

Yesterday, when I came back home from work, the cats already awaited me. But they must have been so bored that they wanted to play first before getting fed. So I just did that and afterwards I was allowed to get something to eat myself. During dinner I played the Halloween festival in Guild Wars 2. While the loot was good, there was again nothing special about it.

Then I wanted to watch some tv series on Hulu, but I had massive problems with the Internet/Chello (the provider) and after much struggling I finally managed to watch the recent episodes of The Simpsons (the Halloween one) and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

The cats also want something, but they are waiting what I have to offer them first.

Mittagessen

Obwohl heute die Wahl leichter gefallen wäre, sind wir heute geschlossen in die Pizzaria gegangen und haben unsere WM-Wettschulden in Form von Pizzen eingelöst.


Vienna Bake Off

Yesterday I was at my parent's for yet another time this week - apple strudel.


Then I had to lie down for a bit, because I didn't get much sleep the night before again - because of the storm and cats who were a little nervous about that. After that I went back home and fed and played with the cats before starting to bake. This week a recipe from Mary Berry: chocolate orange tart.


Afterwards I went to Guild Wars 2 and started doing the Halloween event and earning a lot of loot (nothing fancy though).

"This is my spot in the sun!"
