Fry Potato ♦ 香煎马铃薯

这是一道德国名菜哦!名菜不一定要很难弄,像这道就真的是简单到我姐姐都可能会煮!!(我姐姐煮菜很烂:P)
This is a famous german dish! Famous dish doesn't mean that it must be very hard to be prepared. This dish is really easy, even my sister can cook it!! (my sister can't cook well :P)

全部材料: All ingredients:
洋葱 Onions
马铃薯 Potatos
盐巴或酱油 Salt or soya sauce
辣椒粉 Chili powder
葱花 Onion leaf

步骤大纲:煎马铃薯(1),炒一炒料(2),马铃薯回锅(3),上菜加点缀(4)。。。
Overall steps: fry potatos(1), cook other thing(2), mix the potatos(3), put to the plate and do some decoration(4)!~~





需要的材料一眼看完,一只手也数得完。。。我再重复一次:洋葱,马铃薯,还有辣椒粉和葱花(可有可无),还有一些盐巴或酱油。。。
the things you need can just count with one hand, really simply...i repeat once again: onion, potatos, chili powder and onion leaf(nevermind if you don't have), and some salt or soya sauce...

1)少少油把马铃薯煎到金黄色像这样。。。考功夫的就在这里啦!一、要有耐心,因为要煎蛮久的。二、要尽量把马铃薯弄开,因为马铃薯会贴在一起(但是如果你只是随便吃的话这个也不怎么重要,煎不均匀“吃进肚子也不都是一样!”《quote from 陈亚霞女士,我妈啦!:P》
fry the potatos until golden colour with just a bit of oil...this is the hardest part! 1st, you have to be patient, because it takes time. 2nd, you need to seperate the potatos evenly because they will stick together (but if you are not fussy, then it's alright, like what my mum said: "Everything get the same when they get into your tummy!" :P

2)然后马铃薯放在一边,一点油把洋葱爆香,洒辣椒粉,盐巴或酱油。
put the potatos aside, use a bit oil to fry the onion, put some chili powder, salt or soya sauce.

3)马铃薯回锅捞一捞,可以了。。。
put the potatos in and mix them together, done...


4)放在碟上,洒一些葱花点缀一下颜色,别无他意。。。
put on a plate, spread some onion leaf as decoration, nothing special...

有没有这么简单哦?就是这么简单。普普名言:“名菜不一定难做,简单也不一定不好吃”。。。
that all? yeah, that's all, so simple. Put Put's phylosophy: "Famous dish is not really must be difficult, simple can also be delicious"...

Love Parade


Love Parade 2006 Theme Song



I missed the Love parade this year due to insufficient kaki and fund for One of the Mannheim biggest event .Pop in Hafen.

Yet again, Its a must go if anyone will be in Germany in July or August!!

The Love Parade was first celebrated 4 months before the demolition of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It was started by the fresh Berlin Underground under the initiative of Matthias Roeingh aka "Dr. Motte". It was held as a political demonstration for peace and international understanding through music.

Until 1996, the parade was held on the famous Berlin "Kurfürstendamm". Since by then, not only the Kurfürstendamm was overcrowded but the streets and even railway tracks near the Ku'damm, too, the parade moved to the "Straße des 17. Juni" which is near the Tiergarten Park in the center of Berlin by the Brandenburg Gate and provided plenty of space. The center of the parade is the Siegessäule in the middle of the park, and the golden angel atop the column has become a symbol of the parade.

The attendance record :

1997 to 2000 Over a million

2001 800,000

2002,2003 about 600,000

2004,2005 canceled use to funding problem

2006 Record high 1.5 million

2007 no figure out yet

The music played at the events is predominantly electronic dance music: in this case mainly Trance, House, Techno, and Schranz music.

With its water-cooled sound systems on every truck, the parade produces a sound floor of many megawatts. The parade basically lives through those trucks. The trucks usually feature local, or important, clubs and their DJs. It has become a rule that only trucks that have sponsors from a techno related field, such as clubs, labels or stores, are allowed. It costs a lot of money to equip a truck. They are usually open on top and feature dancers. Their box-systems are mounted on the side or the rear. There are two tactics to choose from: Follow a truck that features a style that you like, or have them all pass you so you can see and hear more.

Love Parade is a place where some exhibit and enjoy other people's exhibitionist tendencies. Some attendees enjoy carrying around toys such as pacifiers or facing masks. Often the crowd is imaginative in terms of clothing (or lack thereof) and appearance.

One famous picture from the Love Parade is people sitting and dancing on streetlamps, trees, commercial signs, telephone booths, which gave the event's nickname "the greatest amateur circus on earth". Although it is not allowed, there is probably no better way to see and be seen. However some people used this for special jokes, like hanging up things such as bicycle locks, on trees and poles, but such actions are very rare. The police of Berlin are usually quite tolerant when it comes to people enjoying themselves. There haven't been any major incidents in over twelve years of parade history - except for the high drug use and people passing out due to dehydration or hyperthermia, the number of injuries as well as the number of crimes is extraordinarily low.

Ok.After so many bla bla bla insightful review.Come to my part, as a party goer.

Am I a party animal? Nein , just try to enjoy my life in another way.

Pig Knuckle ♦ 德国咸猪手 ♦ Schweinshaxe

Germany has 3 famous cuisine: Pig Knuckle, Sausages and Beer...today i'm going to introduce you German Pig Knuckle - Eisbein!~~
德国出名的美食有三:咸猪手,香肠和啤酒。。。今天来介绍一下德国咸猪手!~~~
Im Deutschland gibt es drei bekannte Spezialitäten: Schweinshaxe, Wurst und Bier...heute stelle ich dir die Deutsche Schweinshaxe!~~




Normally if you buy a Eisbein like this in a restaurant, it costs you around 7(the prize in Czech Republic) to 10 euro (at normal place in Germany), Munich October fest sells even more expensive (15 euro)...these two we bought them from a supermarket, costs only 3 euro each (the cheapest one that we found recently), so we bought 2...
平时在餐厅里点这样的一个猪手(又名脆皮猪肘),大概要7(捷克那边的价钱)至10欧元(德国普通的地方),慕尼黑啤酒节卖得更贵(15欧元)。。。这个是我们在超级市场打包回来的,仅仅3欧元一个(目前找到最便宜的!),我们买了两个。。。
Normalerweise eine Schweinshaxe, wie so im Restaurant, kostet von 7(in Tschechische Republik) bis 10 Euro (im normalen Restaurant, Deutschland), München Oktoberfest kostet sie sogar teurer (15 Euro)...Diese haben wir vom Kaufland gekauft, nur 3 Euro pro Stück (die biligsten Schweinshaxe,die wir gefunden haben). Also kauften wir zwei Stücke...




The whole piece of Pig Knuckle is cooked like this, and slice it out only when you want to eat...How to cook? i don't really know...but what i know is that it's very complicated (the easiest way is to go out and buy one, hahaha)...the amazing part is that the knuckle is so thick but yet the salty taste can be tasted even at the inner part...
烹饪的时候就是整个这样煮,吃的时候再切出来吃。。。至于是怎么煮呢?小弟还未参透。。。听说是腌过一遍,再用汤熬煮,再烤,再炸,再烤(很复杂就对了,最容易就是去买一个,哈哈)。。。厉害之处是这么厚的猪脚从内到外都带着恰到好处的咸味。。。
Das ganze Stück der Schweinhaxe wird so gekocht, und dann bis kleine Teil geschnitten...Wie kocht man sie? ich weiß nicht genau...Als ich weiß, ist es ganz kompliziert (Kauf einfach von Supermarkt! hahaha)...Das ganze Stück ist so dick, trotzdem schmeckt sie auch salzig am Innenteil...



Help yourself!~~Enjoy your food!~~
来德国就要试试这道美食哦!~~~
Probier Mal!~~Guten Appetit!~~
