Ohrwurm is German for Ear Worm

And ear worm is English for having a song stuck in your head, which is the case for me every morning. Good thing we have youtube so I can spend 4-10 minutes watching music videos right? This morning though, I have to admit it was a show tune called Cold Feets from the play called The Drowsy Chaperone. Right...so anyway, what about the food?

Breakfast
* kiwi
* apple
* Justin's honey nut peanut butter squeeze pack

It seems like the peanut butter ship must have sunk on the way to Denmark because until yesterday I couldn't find it anywhere. It's probably better because it's an addiction and at nearly $6 for a small jar, it's enough to break my non-working income bank. But, addictions are addictions and as such, we must feed them. Lucky for me I had a secret stash hidden away for desperate moments. 


Lunch
*left-over gnocchi + beet root pesto + olives



red herring soup
* herring boiled, cooled then de-boned
* strain stock to remove bones
* sauté onion, zucchini, cabbage + any other veg you want
* add spices, especially paprika + bay leaf
* add fish + stock + milk and boil until achieve desired taste

My friend had me for lunch. Her husband caught these herring fishing somewhere near Copenhagen. Here's a link to fishing near CPH, can't wait to try this! 

Dinner
left-over gnocchi two ways

Russian John Style
* gnocchi + butter + pepper + sour cream + parmesan

my way--gnocchi salad
* gnocchi + chopped fresh spinach + chopped raw zucchini + chopped yellow bell pepper + lemon + capers + olives + beet root pesto

note: I've packed gnocchi once again for my train ride tonight, but now that we're over it, we froze the rest.

elderberry juice aka hipster mixer of choice
* a little dab'll do ya when you add it to water

dessert
square of Choco love chocolate, also stashed away from the States

Tasks
* farm work resumes June 2nd, heading to Deutschland tonight

Events
* there is a world of fermented goods around me these days--kombucha, water kefir, pickles, sauerkraut, sourdough. All to be discussed in detail eventually. And, as my friend Fiona says, "Ferment the world!"
