Apfelmus & trimming my friendslist

wiseheartIch habe heute zum ersten Mal Apfelmus gekocht. Nun ja... zum ersten Mal ganz alleine. Ich habe es schon einmal getan, im Noviziat, vor fast 30 Jahren, aber da hat mir Sr. Verena über die Schulter geguckt. Aber es is heute ganz gut gelungen, obwohl ich es ganz aus dem Stehgreif gemacht habe und nur im Internet nachgeguckt als alles schon gekocht hatte. Zu viel Kochwasser war auch kein Problem, ich habe den Überschuß abgeschöpft und als Apfellimonade verwendet. Und ich habe endlich mal die Chance gehabt, meinen Pürierstab zu benutzen, die mir meine Kolleginnen letztes Jahr zum Geburtstag geschenkt hatten! Oho!
Apologies to the English-speaking friends - my vocabulary doesn't include finer expressions where cooking is inwolved. ~sheepish look~
Also, I've trimmed my friendslist again, removing those who never reacted to anything I had posted in the previous year although still active on LJ. It doesn't make much difference, since I hardly ever make any f-locked entries, but I don't see why should I have my Friends page overflown with the stuff of people who don't give a rat's arsenal about me. No offence intended.
Sorry for the phrasing. My workplace keeps making me cranky.

You're making Apple sauce from 'scratch'?
Yum!
If I'm getting this right, after a 30 year break and a bit a improvisation, it turned out okay, too.
Bravo! Congratulations! :)
When I eat applesauce, I 'zap' it in the microwave to warm it up and I love adding a touch of cinnamon into it. delicious.

Date: 2016-02-12 05:03 am (UTC)I have about eight words of German (my sister studied enough to guide us round when we visited) and ten of French (the latter, as I keep mentioning, I learned from Miss Piggy :)

English, Bureaucratese, and Gobbledygook).

Date: 2016-02-13 11:37 pm (UTC)Then I randomly learned Spanish and French, at both of which I failed for reasons that weren't my fault - the teachers quit, the groups were dissolved and so on. I was well beyond 30 when I started with English, which I found harder than any other language I had learned before, even Russian. Most other languages have a certain inner logic that I still have to discover in English. Sorry. ;))
I like cooking, but I like baking more. It relaxes me than few other things do. Mum is always laughing when I come home from work and head to the kitchen and asks: "So, they have pissed you off again?" And then I work out my frustration on the dough and we have delicious cookies as a result. *g*

(Wir haben 3 Apfelbäume im Garten, mittlerweile kenne ich so ziemlich jede Verwendung für Äpfel die jemals erfunden wurde...XD
