karohemdHave just eaten (some Waitrose Japanese Beef cook yourself in the pan thing with some nice rice), now to relax a bit and then make Dippadoom™ for tomorrow. I should do the washing up as well and have a shower to get rid of the stubble from getting a haircut this lunchtime.
Then more of Use of Weapons and an earlyish night.
Off to the House of Leaves tomorrow, yay.

Date: 21/5/04 08:26 pm (UTC)last question, I swear

Date: 21/5/04 10:40 pm (UTC)I think we've been through the fromage frais question in the past, the closest US thing we came up with was "cheese curds".
large tub: 500g
medium tub: 250g
Also, the texture/runniness of both yoghurt and quark will vary from brand to brand.
mustard: I use German mustard from a tube, i.e. not powder.
However, I think any of the above would work, use the one you like most.
It's more of a guideline than a recipe, I use "the right amount" and wouldn't be able to tell how much it exactly is.
Feel free to experiment with differnt herbs (I used mint once which added a lot of freshness) or additional flavours.

The one I buy here is actually called Quark so I guess you would find it in the US under that name as well, especially as the US tend to have more German words than the UK.

Date: 21/5/04 10:50 pm (UTC)Probably see you there :-)
(I would suggest we should share a car, but that would involve my having some clue as to when I intend to set off :-)

Date: 21/5/04 11:06 pm (UTC)I inted to crash over and come back on the Sunday after waking up (probably around the same time).
Send me a mail at karohemd at yahoo dot com and we work something out.

Date: 21/5/04 11:51 pm (UTC)Really don't know yet, but we may as well get in touch tomorrow and see if going in one car makes sense... (But then we'd have to argue about whose car :-)
We should probably exchange phone numbers, it'll probably be easier than e-mail. I'll e-mail you mine...
