When you work, weekends are cool

As an unemployed graduate, I lost all thrill for the weekend, but now that I've been working a week, I couldn't wait for all the fun to begin. It was filled with  ♥ teaching me how to drive manual in a car park, getting McDonalds (BAD) and eating it on a playing field in the sun, relaxing by the rhine, some ping pong,dinner at Vapianos & a date at the cinema.

 I have to pass my test by the 20th of November or I'll have to start all over again.

We bought a kilo of apricots from a lady at the side of the road

Feelin' Swiss

Lazy Sunday started with 'Züri Geschnetzeltes, Rösti & Rahmspinat'

Having a drink at Veronica's

Our Date-movie:  was funny but maybe not worth the cinema money

Recipe for 'cut meat Zurich style':

1 onion diced

3 thin pork minute-steaks (supposed to be veal)

1/2 pot of sour cream

2 large handfuls of champignons

1 clove of garlic

salt & pepper

1 onion diced

dash of milk 

some parsley to sprinkle

Now that I'm in Switzerland,  I think it was about time that I try to add something Swiss to the recipe list.  My ♥ claims not to be a fan as his Swiss parents have made it far too often, he liked it thought which made me happy.  

This recipe is quite irrational in terms of measurements but I was improvising. The real recipe also asks for some lemon juice, paprika and white wine, so throw that in if you want to be authentic. Finely chop the onion and heat with medium temperature until glassy. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté. Stir in the chopped/or crushed garlic. Now is the time to add the cream & milk (or wine if you have) to make it more 'saucy'. Once all is mixed and looking brown and creamy in colour/texture it's time to add the thinly sliced strips of meat. Simmer these in the sauce until they are cooked and I chose to serve it with Rösti (fried roughly grated potato) and some creamed spinach (none of which I made myself).
