work, uni, doctors and a bit of other stuff...
got my international student identity card, so a new thing done from my long to do list before Australia!
went for a 40 min run with one of my flatmates.
got 3 other ones to sign up for the run (great!)
have uni tomorrow at 10 (skipping the 8 o'clock thing, as usual...), havn't done any homework for that (and we had a lot to do), have two boring english classes too...

so, I have private healthcare here in germany which some people think is better and it is probably but most people argue because they think you are better treated by doctors and in hospital but you're just not! I had an appointment at 16:30 today and it was not before 17:43 that they called my name up!!! and then the whole thing didn't last until 18:00 and the bill is over 202 euros! thats just ridiculous! I don't know about the money but the time I had to wait! So so stupid!

Another thing which is bothering me right now is money. I do have saved quite a lot right now but most of the money will be spent in Australia for either now my six week long trip or needed during my internship there which starts in june next year but still. I do need new stuff once in a while. right now I am looking for a new pair of jeans cause the latest ones I bought from H&M on sale for 5 € just happend to become too big... I don't understand how this is still happening. and I hate it. Last week I wanted to give blood but the refused to because I didnt weight enough. Stupid. And I don't eat healthy or regular or what ever... I don't eat junk food but still, when I eat I do eat a lot. I talked about this today with one of my flatmates how my allergies and stuff are good and bad in the same way. Good because I do have to check what I am eating and that's why I don't buy much processed food nor heaps of dairy things or sweets but bad because I have to spent a lot of money for food and sometimes it is quite hard to find something to eat for me which depresses me too. Argh. I wish I had no allergies. And now the orange time started again, how I hate it. my skin started to look like if I were 13 again and it is just not fun at all. It is seriously going on my nerves and there is nothing to do about this allergy because how should I be able to skip oranges, or more Limonene's, it is not possible! it is almost everywhere! Hate, hate, hate it. I do have to take of the skin of most of all fruit and veggies so I can be sure that there is less Limonene's on them now and having people around eating oranges is just a pain. I start to feel dizzy and my skin turns red and itchy too.

Oh I could go on and on and on...

Älskade Sverige.

Oh I've been missing Sweden lately so so much. And now that it is almost christmas even more. I miss all the snow and the christmas feeling, and open fires and so much more. Like the traditional drink Julmust which you drink in sweden around christmas, and I want Lussekatter, to bake them myself I need Saffron (which is a bit expensive here in Germany and not the same good quality as in sweden) and I miss the best kladdkaka with almond so much. It is a simple chocolate cake which I use to always bake but when you buy it from a special brand with the almonds inside, it is just so much better! and I can eat a whole one all by myself... And pepparkakor and kola... :( and no sweden trip is planned any time soon, not even soonish... not at all... Buhuhu :'(

Sad thing is about to happen! My vegemite is coming to an end :(

Quorn, veggies and bulgur

So this is my dinner for tonight, had no lunch in uni today, due to my long sleep in and it was more breakfast at 12, but that's fine. So after uni I stopped by a different supermarket where they sell Quorn, and oh, how I love quorn. So my dinner was, as you see from the pictures, zucchini, muschrooms, onions and Quorn together with Bulgur. I wanted to make a creamy sauce with cream but the cream went off even thou the due date was set for the 16th of october. very strange. Well, a bit of fond instead and still it was super great. 

German, French and American style how I ate dinner tonight!

microwave pumpkin!

So today after uniwork, which was bit boring cause I didn't really had to that much but say 'hi, how are you, all good with you in Berlin...' maybe 40 times, I went to a slightly bigger supermarket on my way from uni back home, with the thought of only buying milk and yoghurt but ended up with so much more and one of the things was a microwave pumpkin. apparently it comes from Japan, or the original ones do, and it is meant to be cooked in the microwave, or it is possible to cook it in there, oven works fine too.
So this is how my dinner went...

this is the pumkin, it is not that big and serves one person really well, ok I'm used, as a vegetarian to not eat too much...

cut of the top part and get all the seeds and strings out

put it in the microwave like this for 5 min and then with the top on again for 5 more min.

in the meantime I made a sourcream-yoghurt-thing, onion, garlic, tomato, curcumber

chop it fine, fine, fine.

add salt and pepper and mix everything well (tomato and cucumber is inside here as well)

I had some turkish bread from my local dönerplace with it

watched more white collar and paused the triple j radio

pink stuff I'm drinking is magnesia mixed in water and some vitamins

and this is the end.

it really tastes great and its a fun thing to eat. I first ate it out of the pumpkin but later on I (and now my english to explain does not exist anymore...) anyway, just don't forget to eat everything besides the skin :)

Tuesday and it feels like Thursday!

Got up really early this morning (6am) studied and talked to my boyfriend had a power nap and went off to my exam which started at 10am finished around 12 ate lunch at uni, finally again after two month of summer break, got home, more talk with R and then off to work again which was really strange, never started working at 4pm, no customers and you only clean and nothing else... Had a great iced-vanilla-chocolate-coffe-latte and good talks. And I got surprised by the weather! When I'm in my room and the curtains are closed its always low temperature and I have to wear a cardigan even if it's really hot outside so it sometimes really surprises me how warm it is in Berlin which happened today as well. So instead of a nice morning run I went for a evening run instead, always trying new routs around my block. Then two of my very good friends here in Berlin came over to eat left over soup which I brought from work together with bread and some really cheap organic red wine which didn't taste great at all but good conversations and party make up for that. We've been catching up on so much things and it was really needed. So now I'm going to bed with a big of. heavy head. Working in uni tomorrow and I'm looking forward to talking English with all the exchange students, meeting new friends and get to know more people! And a bit of trigonometry study will also happen, hopefully... Exam on Monday!!!!

And I always sleep with my guns When you're gone

It's time to sleep now. Did what I always do on Sundays. Watch 'Tatort', a typical German TV show. Had dinner, same as yesterday but more tomato sauce added and more spices, cooked rice with it and a bit of broccoli. Now I'm going to read my notes for my upcoming exam on Tuesday and then it's time to sleep. New habit, listening to Triple J with a sleeping timer set for 20 min while I try to fall asleep.

Quorn with Pasta!

Oh, how good is it to be able to finally buy Quorn in Germany! As a vegetarian with an allergy against soy it's really hard to find good things to cook with. So, this is what I cooked yesterday for dinner.

First, chop one onion and fry them in olive oil. Then add the Quorn (and yes it does look like meat but it is not!).

Then it is time for a saucepan with water  for your pasta and kidney beans into your Quorn.

When the water is cooking, I added tomatosauce and heaps of herbs. Parsly, peppar, paprika, curry, salt, ginger and curcuma. 

Then just enjoy your meal! 

I ate it infront of white collar. How did I miss that it was back on? Two days and nine episodes later I'm back on track :)

I bought my Quorn at Edeka (Moabogen, Moabit), haven't seen it anywhere else actually...
