Beginning of February I started a new project that leaves me almost no spare time at the moment.<br />
<br />
Luckily the chili seeds I sowed a while ago, are now growing into tiny plants, without much effort apart from the occasional watering and fertilizing.<br />
<br />
<br />

I already got tons of ideas what I'm going to do with the first chilis I'm going to harvest.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that I got the chili plants sorted, I'm going to start sewing my carnivals costume. This year I'm going to be a Funky Roman woman.

I have loved soup for as long as I can remember. I could eat soup every single day and at any time of the day. Thin and clear ones, vegetable, fish or meat, creamy or lumpy. Sounds a bit pervy? Not really, I hope!<br />
In 2007 I travelled through Japan for a couple of weeks and I really got into Miso soup - even for breakfast. I am talking about the savoury, full of soy protein, kind.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I went out for lunch with some girls to have a ladies lunch. My friend Barbara ordered fried eggs with extra tomatoes. As I saw the tomatoe water running over the fried eggs I suddenly had an epiphany! Tonight I was about to have soup. Nothing really exciting you might think but please bear with me - I was going to prepare a consomme - the baptism of fire for any chef.<br />
<br />
So I bought the the very few ingredience you need to have to produce a tomato consomme (Mirepoix, tomatoes, basil) and turkey minced meat, cream and eggs for the turkey basil buttons.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi211jl2CAzJUbaHCJM2eqblg_zl6NWkxW0keaoM1NT4sqgk-aA35SHa_FRqv3pqWnDoG0rIgzYv7XVhEqfJh6GareHRkpckkDz0B4KS9o2VEmYdWgqVylUBB4_BvL6P7bvNjquxbGITikq/s1600/DSCN4805.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi211jl2CAzJUbaHCJM2eqblg_zl6NWkxW0keaoM1NT4sqgk-aA35SHa_FRqv3pqWnDoG0rIgzYv7XVhEqfJh6GareHRkpckkDz0B4KS9o2VEmYdWgqVylUBB4_BvL6P7bvNjquxbGITikq/s320/DSCN4805.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I also got some chili (rather mild ones - this is Germany after all - the land of salt and pepper). I just wanted to have the extra twist in my consomme.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglkVg5_5v688GKue4luhyphenhyphen__CPg44dAUU7QmRsdkL2Nx6DOa1ofUHKt6DQ4XWeI4fz0wUhJTkefvk7EC6ftOIwEzD4AxE5QZInRAxEyNQsWsPWzuCClMM67-iMBLrkzoo5UexcDR4An34bq/s1600/DSCN4813.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglkVg5_5v688GKue4luhyphenhyphen__CPg44dAUU7QmRsdkL2Nx6DOa1ofUHKt6DQ4XWeI4fz0wUhJTkefvk7EC6ftOIwEzD4AxE5QZInRAxEyNQsWsPWzuCClMM67-iMBLrkzoo5UexcDR4An34bq/s200/DSCN4813.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>All ingredience are generously chopped and get thrown into one big saucepan filled with water.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEW9egtkjaiOoHPyuPfN3-r7SdNj6TVoq3Q6k1Z6fhyaNrNuUynTdQE3V3pht3A5EEAYCUJrS3XaFVVfKzO0pxslm3fZJiEIrkVzQGKTu5WYCuTNGuOS7WzfwgQ5UNc54xnJxYnl9yGoJw/s1600/DSCN4814.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEW9egtkjaiOoHPyuPfN3-r7SdNj6TVoq3Q6k1Z6fhyaNrNuUynTdQE3V3pht3A5EEAYCUJrS3XaFVVfKzO0pxslm3fZJiEIrkVzQGKTu5WYCuTNGuOS7WzfwgQ5UNc54xnJxYnl9yGoJw/s200/DSCN4814.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>Everything is only vaguely measured and after 30 mins of slow simmering the consomme base should look like this.<br />
The base now get filtered through a colander and leaves a smoth liquid. This liquid however is not quite right for a consomme, it still needs to get purified. I didn't want to go really wild tonight so I decided to stick with a single consomme, not a consomme double, which is purified twice. And that does take forever!<br />
<br />
While the filtered liquid gets the chance to cool down, I prepare the clearing mixture. Just take a bit minced beef and one egg white, mixed together. It is vital that the mixture cools down in the fridge too.<br />
<br />
I then started to prepare the mixture for my turkey basil buttons. I needed a smooth mass that I could squeeze through an icing bag. I chopped up some basil leaves and mixed the minced turkey with cream and 2 eggs as well as an egg yog and some salt and pepper. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihdw6_zolUKEhB-0BvaUBn47JfD_NaNVuA2bgP460d-KOcHYjXWME3BGhBmXay3OGDY7Uk2VO3CWxn4SYhhaY0Qn_lXTMkMkYwiMz4mGFfaKtpgKxi6OS-t4TPnbuwyqR9mE-woCkYmo9z/s1600/DSCN4817.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihdw6_zolUKEhB-0BvaUBn47JfD_NaNVuA2bgP460d-KOcHYjXWME3BGhBmXay3OGDY7Uk2VO3CWxn4SYhhaY0Qn_lXTMkMkYwiMz4mGFfaKtpgKxi6OS-t4TPnbuwyqR9mE-woCkYmo9z/s200/DSCN4817.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />
Meanwhile I started boiling some water to prepare the buttons. I squeezed the content of the icing bag over an oven grid into the boiling water.<br />
<br />
Again, I used my gut feeling to judge when the buttons are done. And you want to be careful with Salmonella and all.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSDprmnV2TObIH0aONXtjvY9pqG7rNU9UsRWF7x5miWpfdSFtCj4Q7aKzyOBfhq4w01WdDDQH-fZelMC_BlFOn6o3ahVwVm8aoxGI_NQZeO2EUG0-M4xwzWsMVPcRktdJTNYnXoLGNFwW/s1600/DSCN4818.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSDprmnV2TObIH0aONXtjvY9pqG7rNU9UsRWF7x5miWpfdSFtCj4Q7aKzyOBfhq4w01WdDDQH-fZelMC_BlFOn6o3ahVwVm8aoxGI_NQZeO2EUG0-M4xwzWsMVPcRktdJTNYnXoLGNFwW/s200/DSCN4818.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />
The filtered consomme base can now be purified. The protein mix together with the liquid are slowly heated up again, The cloudy bits get trapped within the protein mix and that leaves a clear consomme.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisV89TbdJciWh9_a6YaGV4GzeWt_mc3ESG0gdTpwJcngFYAuTEfQq4YXAJVdIAWBv9f4K06p8LES8GZ2fR7ydLH9Ulng4CMKYnV_ope7jDuRb5R0xiaEBU6wYepUg49HUjFvxxuc_BJ4bO/s1600/DSCN4819.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisV89TbdJciWh9_a6YaGV4GzeWt_mc3ESG0gdTpwJcngFYAuTEfQq4YXAJVdIAWBv9f4K06p8LES8GZ2fR7ydLH9Ulng4CMKYnV_ope7jDuRb5R0xiaEBU6wYepUg49HUjFvxxuc_BJ4bO/s200/DSCN4819.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>The liquid now needs to be poured through a tea towel to get the last precious drops out of the consomme mix.<br />
<br />

A few more basil leaves for decoration and a nice big soup plate e voila - Bon appetite!<br />

I do have a balcony but I discovered that birds just love to attack new plants and they even start digging plants out of their containers.<br />
<br />
My solution is quite simple - I grow herbs on the window sill. I tried growing herbs beforehand but somehow they never got past the stage of germination.<br />
<br />
In 2011 I will try, once again, to grow my own hers. And I started with it two days ago. From the UK, where I spent Christmas, I brought back some seeds for peppers, chilis and herbs, but also some growing kits. I'd love to think that my previous attempts of flat gardening failed due to the lack of proper equipment.<br />
<br />
I started with, what I think is easy to grow - chives, chilis and basil on Monday, Jan 10th.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpMawoUrbNtwiMMEzjOEVGyMpIZux9BdNqJq6drL0grImxb7cewI0r6k5HPzjjKY5ErB8JDgZ6w9sbh7oKUQStIcUb99synP56l1seLe0SQoCa5IkW2p50Iw5BObktVahPS2VbjuFZ21Q/s1600/DSCN4759.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpMawoUrbNtwiMMEzjOEVGyMpIZux9BdNqJq6drL0grImxb7cewI0r6k5HPzjjKY5ErB8JDgZ6w9sbh7oKUQStIcUb99synP56l1seLe0SQoCa5IkW2p50Iw5BObktVahPS2VbjuFZ21Q/s320/DSCN4759.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
In the two pots in the rear row I sow chives. In the middle one and the front row I planted hot chilis. I hope they turn out nicely, as Mr. Zefixchen is a hot chili addict.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dtjq7x7R-KOZCxSlEq7HBD2fYySRfQFV1GLMdsDvuWE1uAwt9yGVamhyE-s3PEpVj1CasBoMSGsK8jHbxqYobRQym7R0Gx4fl_CKOYPJhwjrsAEfXbzHekXuFWQ24Bi3CmNzdsyEkXds/s1600/DSCN4764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dtjq7x7R-KOZCxSlEq7HBD2fYySRfQFV1GLMdsDvuWE1uAwt9yGVamhyE-s3PEpVj1CasBoMSGsK8jHbxqYobRQym7R0Gx4fl_CKOYPJhwjrsAEfXbzHekXuFWQ24Bi3CmNzdsyEkXds/s320/DSCN4764.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I also brought back this growig kit for peppers and chilis back from the UK. The 12 individual seeding pots were very flat. I poured some warm water over them and they miraculously grew. 3 different kind of peppers (chayenne, worldeater and barancio).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMd1atbJ7GPUMCu40-VgY1uH-4h7OxG67UcAQLzF2UQWTwCdK2aOiBThSd4z5sR1JXeR1CphbX42xVS1_9FA33xcbyxk-KqXI3AXPYukWUd-8mpNc06FURolIMncNqjA-VXYXLKk74fNF3/s1600/DSCN4765.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMd1atbJ7GPUMCu40-VgY1uH-4h7OxG67UcAQLzF2UQWTwCdK2aOiBThSd4z5sR1JXeR1CphbX42xVS1_9FA33xcbyxk-KqXI3AXPYukWUd-8mpNc06FURolIMncNqjA-VXYXLKk74fNF3/s320/DSCN4765.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The two kits are now placed on the radiator in the living room that I don't use. Hopefully it doesn't take long before the green spouts appear!<br />
<br />
I also wanted to have some fresh basil, which I adore. Apparently the basil seeds need to germ not in soild but only covered with foil (light induced germination).<br />
