Fluffy carnival Quarkb—Jr: from aunt Mary
The most beautiful and fifth Season, the Cologne starts on the 11.11., at 11: 11 am. On the day the session is the opening of the carnival, and on this day, the city is in front of joy's head. Because from now on, the revelers may be revelers to ash Wednesday, whenever you want. I love the carnival, especially because there are so incredibly delicious traditional Süßgebäcke. The 11.11. around, there is St. Martin, the Weckmänner, the taste not only to our son. And far in advance, before the street carnival begins, there is again in the bakeries "tipsy" in Berlin, the Americans with clown face, caps almonds but balls, especially my beloved quark.

Because the quark balls are for me the most delicious round Süßgebäcke, you can imagine only. Fluffy and soft and just the way snacking. For a coffee or just a snack. And because I, unfortunately, no "real Cologne girl," am but only from Cologne in the heart, I have no family recipe up your sleeve. But my best friend has one and she told me her family recipe a long time ago. The recipe of your aunt Maria. Lucky for all of us, that you allowed me it ? to put on the Blog . My best friend, who is also a seamstress, by the way, the beautiful fool's cap and the epaulets, which I use in my photos as props. It produces you in your Tailor's shop Beautiful cuts as unique to.
The ricotta balls recipe from her aunt Mary's for my taste is unbeatable, because the quark balls, especially fluffy, and better than all that you get to buy so. This is probably the soda, say the ladies of the family. Therefore, it is for me, especially in the Carnival season not only once, quark balls from "aunt Maria" even baking.
Because that for me is part in the carnival, bake Christmas squares in the Christmas season. An absolute Must-have. A Trick You should however note that deep-frying does not fat must be hot and at the first slight Bubble Test on the spoon You give should be the first batter Cam into it.
But not only the quark balls fascinate me live at the Cologne customs since I have been here. There is so much of what makes this city lovable and livable. And in no other city I have experienced so far, this intimate and unconditional love of the residents to the home town in Cologne, Germany. For me, as the Imi, it is Not as out-of-town-Cologne here, after so many years still heart-warming, but also sometimes a bit irritating ? . In the carnival, the Cologne, and your city and celebrate life, but also, and especially, themselves and their deep bond. United in the kölsch dialect, the "Stranger" will never really understand.
"Et gitt kei Wood, dat künnt say,
I Wat föhl, when I Kölle thinking
When I think of ming home!“ (Lyrics to the chorus of the Band's Cat Ballou)
If I trällere Cologne carnival songs, then this is how, as a child, as I have in the gibberish English is sung. Always in the corner of the eye looking for me someone caught that, I'm text sure and don't really know what I sing there. When I think of the carnival, or him speak, I did not by the way of the many shadow sides of the head, he has, inevitably, also in the Luggage. I don't want to mention here. I have the pink pages in front of your eyes and the light-heartedness and the shining eyes of the people, to slip in my Love, their joy in other roles, and to be for a short period of time, someone or something else.
In this sense, Kölle Alaaf, I wish all of you to Cologne revelers a beautiful carnival session and all of the other revelers that do not come from Cologne, a great carnival time or Fastnacht ? .
