What's For Dinner? (Part Deux)

You know what's awesome? These puppies!

Why? Well, first of all, they are magnetic, that is awesome for so many reasons. They stick together wonderfully in the drawer so you don't have to go hunting for that quarter teaspoon but you can separate them easily for use! (Read that as - you don't have to wash them ALL because you dirtied one spoon.) I also really love the oval shaped spoons because they fit wonderfully in spice jars. 

I thought that I would bring the "What's for Dinner?" post back for round two this week. I had a lot of fun with it and it is definitely a great way for me to learn how to use our monstrously intimidating camera and Lightroom.

So, without further ado, I give you What's For Dinner (Part Deux)!

Main Course: From biggest bowl to smallest we have white rice, kimchi, eggs, soy sauce, and sesame seed oil. This is followed by scallions and sesame seeds.

Side Dish: The unlabeled ingredients are (from left to right, top to bottom) scallions, soy sauce, BACON, sugar, ground ginger, and garlic.

For the side dish I deviated from the recipe a little bit by using bacon (in place of an unnamed sea creature). I am so glad I did. Bacon was a delicious substitute!

I hope everyone has a great day! Good luck!

Edit: Go to the bottom of this post for the answer!

This is!

While I was practicing mise en place, preparing everything for tonights dinner, I diced up a few things and started thinking that the colors were just brilliant and would make a pretty picture. Then a little idea hatched... I thought it would be fun to snap some shots of all of the ingredients for a meal and see if you guys could guess what the final dish was!

Here is the updated picture labeling all of the spices and rather difficult to guess ingredients.

Give it a go! Good luck!

The Answer

Milka!

I found Milka!!

My father used to go on business trips to Germany and he'd come home with bags full of these wonderful chocolate bars. I do find it amusing that it is a company now owned by Kraft, luckily the quality is still much better than any other chocolate bar found here in the U.S.A. and thanks to gold ol' wikipedia, I have just learned that they got their name because the chocolate is made with Milch and Kakao. Nifty, eh?

Anyway, I spent all morning searching for a desk and chair so I could start on my office furniture project... Alas, I didn't find anything that I loved, and I refuse to buy something that I might not like down the road. (That is a lesson I have learned the hard way unfortunately.) However, I was quite hungry by the time I was done perusing all of the consignment shops in the area, so I stopped in to check out a little place called "Euro Deli", that sells German speciality foods. I picked up one lamb bologna sandwich and one "ham in bologna" sandwich, both of which were quite tasty. I was waiting just about to leave the store when I spotted the Milka and pretty much squealed with joy.

I grabbed three varieties... Alpenmilch (milk chocolate), Alpenmilch Schokolade Kuhfleken (appears to be milk chocolate with white chocolate), and Marzipan-créme. I have to admit I don't like the marzipan, but the other two are quite tasty!



See how well my photography skills are progressing? I am well on my way to crossing that item off my list!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful
Friday
 Saturday!
