It's the time of the year again. Strange and noisy things are happening in our #Kitchen… 🤔

Another load of the the world’s best #Muffins. Crafted with ❤️ by @evelynefoerster. Thanks so much. 👍❤️🤣

I had a few CPU cycles to spare on my #Apple #MacBookPro. So I generated another #FractalArt image of the #Mandelbrot set just for the fun of it. 🤣

I’m not an entymologist, but my layman’s guess is that this is a stag beetle, that I saw in our garden today. 🤔

Wenn ich irgendwann dann doch endlich mal aus der Tretmühle des Jobs in den wohlverdienten Ruhestand entlassen werde, dann ist die #Knutschkugel #Microlino genau das Auto, das ich dann noch brauche.

Leider ist es auf schweizer Strassen mehr oder weniger Selbstmord, mit so etwas rumzufahren. Zu gross ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass man die Begegnung mit dem nächsten #SUV nicht überlebt. 😔

Bis dahin fahre ich wenigstens vorsichtig einen #Fiat500.

@evelynefoerster übt sich mal wieder im #Backen. Ich kenne das Ergebnis und weiss, dass es wieder sehr lecker wird. 👍 Ich freue mich schon drauf. 🥰

Einen Tipp gebe ich: es ist nichts typisch schweizerisches. Die Raterunde sei hiermit eröffnet. 🤔💡🤣

This old #Garden #Grill finally has to go. 👍

It is damaged beyond repair or usability. The protective top is regularly moved askew by wind and heavy snow, the moss thrives on the base plate. The lattice holder mount can’t be moved anymore and the whole thing is crap anyway. 🤣

So, @evelynefoerster and I decided to get a #BigGreenEgg instead. It's smaller, can be put away (and protected against weather). We’ll see how that turns out. 🙃🍗🥩🍕🥗🌽

#Summer

https://www.biggreenegg.com 🥚

The rain protection on top is always moved askew by either wind or the snow being too heavy during the winter.
The bottom plate is the ideal place for moss to grow and flourish but not to be used as a fire place.
The old lattice holder mount is so rusty that it can’t even be moved and thus used anymore.

Snickers and Wotan. Both enjoy getting up late, if at all, that is. 🤣

Erm, correction: Loved it! It’s gone already. 😔

Trying out Ivory on the #iPhone. Just like @MonaApp, it has no language selection in the composer window.

@ivory: Why is there no language selection button in the composer window? This is one of the very essential functions. Please add that.

My first try at training a rat to ride a motorcycle using #GenerativeAI and making it look like oil on canvas. I was curious and it was just a try to figure out how it works. Nothing serious and I will not try to make it my personal #Art form. Yet, I'm impressed by how powerful these tools are, even free versions.

It’s #Apple #PatchDay again for #maxOS, #tvOS, watchOS, #iOS and iPadOS.

Again a few gigabytes to download. 🤣

It happened again: #Muffins galore! 🤣

Thanks 🙏, @evelynefoerster ❤️

My favorite: a muffin and a coffee.

Kann jemand mal bitte die #SVP zurück auf den Boden der Realität holen? Drehen die jetzt ganz durch?

Arme #Schweiz. Ich möchte nicht wissen, was die Zukunft bringt, wenn die so weiter machen.

Had to set up a new #Chicken house today. This is #BadQuality made in #China. The instructions look like a typical #Ikea setup. This thing needs at least 3 people to set up. @evelynefoerster and I did it alone. I wouldn’t recommend that. I wouldn’t even recommend buying this thing.

@evelynefoerster and I were on #Vacation on to a very special occasion to #Austria 🇦🇹 two weeks ago. We enjoyed it very much and had a really great time. 👍🤣

Here are some impressions of the #Landscape. Hope you like them. 🤣

I’ll make this a 🧵 due to the 4-image limit. Also, please excuse the fact that images in this thread do not contain a useful #AltText this time. I can’t comment individually an all images in the thread.

Gerade im #Baumarkt: Ich fragte die nette Dame am Infostand, wo ich denn #Lüsterklemme​n finden würde. Sie kannte den Begriff nicht. Ich habe ihr kurz erklärt, was ich meine, worauf sie mich ohne Umweg zu den Lüsterklemmen geführt hat. 👍

Dort angekommen, stand auf allen Packungen nur "Reihenklemme". Interessant dabei: auf #Wikipedia findet man unter "Reihenklemme" nur eine Weiterleitung zum Oberbegriff "Klemme".

Ich kenne den Begriff Lüsterklemme seit meiner Kindheit.

That #Chicken was perfect. 🤣 But it's all gone now. 😔@evelynefoerster and I had a perfect #SilentSunday afternoon sunny chicken meal. 🤣

#BBQ #Barbecue #Grilling #BigGreenEgg

The chicken is ready to be served. It’s standing on its stand inside the now open Big Green Egg and waiting to be taken out.
The chicken was cut in halves and we both each had one half. The picture shows one half of the chicken on a plate, along with three roasted champignons.
All gone. This is the stand on which the chicken is positioned to be roasted equally from all sides. It’s more or less a cone formed by thick wires to hold the chicken upright.

I don’t know what @evelynefoerster is planning again, but I know that it will be tasty. Maybe another #Gugelhupf? Who knows? I think, I will have to wait until tonight to find out. 🤔🤣

I only know some #Ingredient​s so far: butter, two eggs, some milk and a little oil of unknown flavor.

My wife (@evelynefoerster) made #Muffins a few days back. I didn’t find the time to post images yet, but basically, here’s the story how it went told in pictures… 🤣

A not so white but green #WhitMonday in #Switzerland. Time to relax and enjoy. 🤣

paulfoerster, 1 year ago to random

@evelynefoerster did it again. 🥰 Today, #Sunday, is #BakingContest. #PeanutButter #Muffins. A little dry, but still tasty, though I‘m not that a big fan of peanut butter. I‘d suggest adding #Raisins next time. 🥰🤣
