Yes, this pumpkin jam is very delicious. 😋

Thanks for your comment. The preparation for your coleslaw sounds very delicious. You use a lot more spices then I do in my recipe. And I find the idea of using caraway very interesting. This is absolutely necessary to try it out.

@@JessiKitchen to be honest I remembered after I posted I used to make it with more celery seed than caraway. But I definitely want some spice.

Yes, you are probably right. Because celery seeds are commonly used in pickling, coleslaw and spice blends.

Thanks. I appreciate you writing that. 😉☺️

Thanks 🙏

Thank you for your comment.😊 I am sure that this dish from Alentejo will also taste delicious with mussels.Just try it and give me your feedback. I wish you "um bom apetite "! 😋😘

Hello Anabela, 🤗 Thanks for your comment. You can find all the information about the ingredients, size of the baking pan and baking time in my video description. Beijinhos 😘

Thanks a lot for your comment.🤗 It's a pleasure for me that you liked my video. 😊 My goal in creating my videos is to be as short and concise as possible, while still sharing all the important information. Have you tried this recipe yet? Beijinhos 😘

@@JessiKitchen I tried the recipe, and it was great. Thank you. I have made pumpkin jam in the past, but I tried your recipe this time around. It was perfect.

Thank you for your feedback.😊 There are other pumpkin recipes on my channel. For example, "Sonhos de Abóbora", a Portuguese pastry that can be enjoyed in almost every bakery.😋

With pleasure 😉

Of course, in my video description. 🕵️‍♂️😉

😂 Thanks for your comment ☺️ Have a great weekend 😘

Thank you Luna for your comment. 🤗 I'm glad you like the video.😘

Thank you for your comment.🤗 If you like, you can add all of the ingredients listed. Some also like champions, asparagus or leeks.

Of course 😊

Thank you for your comment. 🤗 Once the grape jam has been made, it can be stored in the dark as a preserve for up to a year. Once opened, it keeps in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Thank you very much for your idea. 😚 I will look out for baby bak choy in the supermarket. Your recipe for the bak choy soup sounds delicious with Asian noodles. 😋

@@JessiKitchen Any time, the pleasure is mine🥰

Try it. 🤗 It is worth it .. Cut your watermelon into cubes and put them in the freezer for a while. Then all you need is a bottle of rosé wine and you're good to go. 😉😘

There is a recycling for almost everything. 😉 A delicious, crunchy snack. 😋 But the best is that you can also use the chicken fat obtained as chicken schmalz. It just needs to cool down and will keep in the fridge for quite a while. It can be used to sear meat or simply make a soup a little tastier. Then the olive oil is simply replaced by the chicken schmalz. Big kiss to you 😘

🤣 die Ideen gehen mir nie aus, nur die Zeit rennt mir stets davon! 😉 Probiere das Rezept ruhig einmal aus. Man braucht nur Wassermelone (gewürfelt und tiefgekühlt) und Rosé Wein. Zusammen kommen die beiden Zutaten in den Mixer und fertig ist dein Watermelon Frosé. Super lecker und erfrischend 😋😘

@@JessiKitchen das mache ich morgen sofort!!!

@@gritrudolph9608 Prima! Lass es dir schmecken 😘

Thank you for your comment and your thoughts you share with me. You're correct that historically, certain animals were primarily used for specific purposes. Cows were commonly raised for milk, chickens for eggs, and pigs for meat. The notion of what constitutes traditional or modern cooking can vary depending on cultural perspectives. Different regions and cuisines have their own traditional dishes and cooking techniques that may prioritize certain types of meat over others. Culinary practices are influenced by a variety of factors, and what is considered traditional or modern can vary depending on cultural and historical contexts.

Then give this recipe a try! 😉

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and providing feedback. I appreciate your perspective and understand that the absence of speech may not have met your expectations. The intention behind the video was to focus on visual elements and convey the message through imagery and captions. However, I understand that different preferences exist, and I will take your feedback into consideration for future videos. If there are any specific suggestions or improvements you would like to see, I would be happy to hear them. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

A very big thank you for your comment.🤗 Well, that's a real motivational boost for me.💪💉 I will continue without question! A big hug for you!🥰

@@JessiKitchen 🥰 Yes, you must👏I'm immensely happy to hear that, please keep them coming 😍 A big hug for you as well🤗

Frozen waffles from the grocery store are definitely a faster option! 😉😂But just imagine that wonderful smell in the kitchen when preparing the waffles in the waffle maker.🧇 And if there are any left over after you have prepared them, you can put them in the freezer after they have cooled down and simply warm them up a little in the toaster at a later time! A big Kiss to you! 😘

@@JessiKitchen Happy Sunday, my dear I hope you are doing well🤗 Since I made that comment, I have been to different stores and stood in front of the frozen section multiple times staring at the rows of frozen waffles; would you believe that each time I have walked away at the recollection of your video and the thought of biting into another piece of mediocre frozen waffle in contrast to your fresh creation? I surprised myself as it didn't even require much volition, I would rather go without but this has led to a long overdue waffle that I have been craving😅 I credit you for inspiring me into considering getting a waffle maker which was never even remotely on my radar! You are absolutely right, I look forward to the wonderful smell of fresh waffles wafting through my kitchen🤩 I very much appreciate your recommendation on preserving any extras or leftovers which is ingenious😍 I will keep you posted once I create my first waffle, I can't wait🤣 A big hug for you, my dear🥰

@@ewhrlaw5290 Such a waffle iron can be very entertaining. You can let your creativity run free. First of all, you can use any flour you like, great thing for people with food allergies, vegans, diabetics, etc. Then there are not only sweet waffles, no, they can also be hearty! With all the ingredients your heart desires! In addition, such a waffle iron is also educationally valuable, you can certainly invent and implement great recipes with young people. So, what are you waiting for. 🤣😂 Big kiss to you 😗

@@JessiKitchen My dear, I'm excited to share with you that I have purchased a waffle machine and I truly agree that it's a valuable appliance especially for someone like me who have only tasted frozen waffles prior to this You are absolutely correct about its versatility in catering to different taste buds and preferences, although I am partial to the traditional Belgian waffle which is my favorite, I now know I can even make savory and hearty waffles such as a crispy rice waffle😄 That will be for my next waffle project. With regards to the "young people", it was already a handful teaching them how to make pancakes with ready-made pancake mix😅, not to mention assisting with cooking their pancakes on a griddle! I'll have to pass on making waffles with them🤣 Therefore, inventing and implementing new waffle recipes will be a solo creative project for me to execute alone😂😆 I thank you again for inspiring me with this recipe that led to an essential discovery and purchase, a big hug for you, my dear🤗🥰

If your friends still have loquats hanging from their trees, it would definitely be worth a try. The recipe is very easy and quick to prepare! 🤗

@@JessiKitchen Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until next spring for this Agreed, this recipe seems easy enough for me 😁

@@ewhrlaw5290 Now you already have a great idea for the loquat harvest for next year. 😉😘

@@JessiKitchen Indeed, I am eagerly looking forward to the harvest of 2024 and yummy loquat jam for my pancakes in lieu of syrup😁

The two weeks have almost passed. Could you get another loquat from your friend's loquat tree? Unfortunately, the loquat season in the Algarve is already over.😢 a big hug from me 🤗

@@JessiKitchen Yes, more like three weeks! I was finally able to get to my friend's house yesterday, regrettably, all her loquats died and they were dangling lifelessly from her tree I was indeed devastated 😭as I love loquats and wanted to try out your recipes. She told me those were too high up for them to reach. In hindsight, I should have swung by earlier, we were too busy with our day to day to touch base on that; lesson learnt, moving forward I will be more cognizant of the loquat season. It does seem that our loquat season is in tandem with the Algarve. Right back at you🤗

@@ewhrlaw5290 Sad but true, then again next year! But in 2024 with super equipment for picking, even the very high-hanging loquats! 🤩🙂

@@JessiKitchen Yes, my dear, I will be more prepared for next year! I think all it would take is a ladder 😅 My friends are obviously not tall enough to reach those high-hanging loquats, what seems to be a straightforward solution can sometimes escape us😆

Now there are 2 options. 🤔 The first option would be to clean and core the present loquats and freeze them until next fall. And in the fall, instead of pumpkin pie, make a loquat crumble from frozen loquat. Or...the second option: Try this crumble recipe with seasonal pumpkin instead of loquats! That would be a great idea too! I hope I remember in October.🤣

@@JessiKitchen Jessi dear, these options are absolutely brilliant 👏 If only I have thought of them when the loquats were in season and executed option 1 in a timely manner😔 Thank goodness for option 2's redeeming quality😁, what a great idea indeed to turn a humdrum pumpkin pie into a crumble I have a feeling it'll be scrumptious😋 Do you need a friendly reminder😆?

@@ewhrlaw5290 Please remind me! My head is a sieve.🤣

@@JessiKitchen You got it That witty description made me laugh, only because you are a multi-tasker with so much on your plate!

Yes, it is really a very easy and quick "Alentejo" recipe. Just like the oldest dog named Bobi, who also comes from "Alentejo", celebrated on May 25th. his 31st birthday! Happy Birthday Bobi 🎈🎁

@@JessiKitchen Yes, happy Birthday indeed to Bobi🎈, isn't it amazing that Bobi turned 31😃 Life must be good in Alentejo🍹🤠

@@ewhrlaw5290 Alentejo is really worth a trip. But not necessarily in midsummer, because it's just too hot!

My dear, 🤗 I could already flirt with your result of the "Açorda à Alentejana".😋 Your plate was so beautifully prepared.👌 I appreciate your commitment, your thirst for knowledge and your interest. Just fantastic.👏 I send you a big kiss 😘

@@JessiKitchen My dear, I am humbled and touched by your generous compliments😍 You have taken me on this journey of discovery that has stimulated my palate and satiated my gastronomic needs beyond my expectations🥰 What begun as a random search for a sourdough recipe led me to your channel which has revealed a treasure trove of amazing and extraordinary recipes to me🤩I look forward to further explorations🥰Thank you very much, my dear🤗

I had to chuckle for a moment because there isn't a single video about sourdough on my channel.😅 I am all the more amazed that you still came across me. This unknown, the algorithms! 🤫 However, I was already asked about sourdough in a slightly older video comment. Maybe I should do some research on this topic. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your touching comment. It really gives me great pleasure to be able to share my experiences in the culinary field with the world! Thanks so much 😘🥰

@@JessiKitchen 😆Yes, those bizzare catch-all algorithms! But I think more than anything else, it was your good vibes and sincerity that were at play I couldn't be happier having been introduced to your channel🥰 If you recall, I even asked you in an unrelated video to sourdough if you could teach me how to make the Alentejano sourdough😅Therefore, I could be the "suspect" of that particular comment😅 My dear, don't worry about looking into this sourdough obsession of mine; I have attempted repeatedly for a span of two months consistently with different approaches but failed to cultivate a sourdough starter successfully. I ran through heaps of flour and have tweaked the starter as I saw fit, however, I must have missed something. Been there, done it and gracefully accepted it's not my "calling"😁Most importantly, I came out of it with my sanity intact😄, you don't want to know how consumed I was by that! Please continue to enlighten the world😍🥰 My immense pleasure; thank you too, my dear🤗

Hello my dear, 🤩you nailed it. 🥳 It doesn't take much, rather down-to-earth and seasonal to create dreamy dishes. This is Portuguese cuisine! I am going to present you another video link that will make you even more amazed by Portuguese cuisine. Because it doesn't always have to be expensive and doesn't always have to be a long list of ingredients. Video 👉th-cam.com/video/pTqf6KlWCgA/w-d-xo.html

@@JessiKitchen Hello my dear, I'm back🤗I wish to add that you are absolutely right, Portuguese cuisine checks all the aforementioned boxes and it continues to nourish and amaze me🥰 Thank you for sharing this amazing Alentejana recipe, I love it😍

@@ewhrlaw5290 With great pleasure!😍

Yes, eggs are ubiquitous and always present in Portuguese desserts and pastries. But now I have a surprise for you. You will fall off the stool and will hit your forehead. Nothing is impossible in Portugal. Watch at that 👉th-cam.com/video/IDZBScAqYzA/w-d-xo.html 😉

I forgot to leave a comment on Homemade Pastry Cream. 🤔 The pastry cream is incredibly delicious and extremely easy to prepare. Of course you can spread and fill many great pastries with it. But you can also, like me, simply eat this cream as a dessert with a spoon.😋😉

@@JessiKitchen My dear, this is hilarious The same thought crossed my mind, your pastry cream reminded me of a pudding dessert which I could just eat on its own, I know I would be tempted to 🤣 I'm very happy you've shared this very versatile and delicious pasty cream, the fact that all the ingredients are no-frills and natural is a plusI can already envision how delicious this is filling the "guardanapos"🤩😶‍🌫

@@ewhrlaw5290 😂😅🤣 The best idea ever: prepare twice the amount of the cream. One part to fill the "guardanapos" and the other part to devour immediately! 😋 And you don't have to feel guilty, it's all natural ingredients.😉😘

@@JessiKitchen I couldn't agree more with your recommendation which was what I did. I encountered a little mishap with the corn starch, can you believe that the two supermarkets I went to did not have corn starch available? As a last resort, I had to buy a pricier Mexican version of a corn starch but the outcome leads me to believe it's geared towards preparing Mexican dishes. Instead of yielding equal parts of the cream for the guardanapos and to be enjoyed as a standalone, I ended up getting a solidified lump that is anything but creamy😂😅 I don't really know where I went wrong but I would like to give this another try😃

You absolutely have to. These pastries are so soft and light, it's like eating clouds! ☁️😋The word "Guardanapos" in portuguese means napkin. Because these dreamlike pieces of happiness look like this and are folded like this.😘

@@JessiKitchen Your description of these "guardanapos" alone is enough to keep me on cloud nine😁 I'm trying to fit this in as I would love a taste of these fluffy and dreamlike pieces of happiness😆😍

@@ewhrlaw5290 Try it and you won't want to come back from cloud nine! ☁☁☁ Then you can't keep your hands off it.🤫 It is a very delicate and airy pastry.😋 a big kiss to you 😘

​@@JessiKitchen Hello my dear, I'm back from cloud 9 I have actually attempted to make these guardanapos which didn't turn out to be as airy as yours as they were more on the hard side but they were delectable😁 They tasted light with an unmistakable egg fragrance which I enjoyed eating. I endeavor to make them again, I will circle back. I send you a big hug🤗

@@ewhrlaw5290 Hello my dear 🤗, I am very happy for you. An idea on my part regarding the too hard dough. Maybe reduce the temperature of the oven a bit, since not every oven heats up to the same degree. And if you're baking with convection, I would definitely reduce the time. Because the specified baking time of my video refers to my oven without convection. After baking, the dough should have a consistency that you can fold it in. A big hug to you 😘

I know! 😂😉🤩

@@JessiKitchen 🤣

This recipe is perfect for last-minute guests as it's quick and easy to make and can be served with a glass of wine as an aperitif! 😇

@@JessiKitchen With or without guests, I'll be making this for me But I know for a fact that this petiscos will be a hit🥂

@@ewhrlaw5290 🤣 Have you tried this "petisco" - recipe yet?!😋

@@JessiKitchen Between recovering from an episode of a sensitive stomach and not having enough "room" to add this to dinner, I was forced to put this on the back burner. But this is in the pipeline, I promise it won't be long before you'll hear back about this! Yum yum😆🤩

So ... how are you? Is your sensitive stomach feeling better?! Finally, it's time for a new challenge and treat for you! 😉😄

This avocado brownie is worth trying!🥑😋😘

@@JessiKitchen My dear, it has most certainly crossed my mind! I was looking for the full video for these lush brownies but got sidetracked by your other recipes😆 I love brownies and what a unique recipe this is I would love to recreate your avocado brownie recipe, this will be next after the cloud nine "guardanapos"😀

You absolutely have to try this. Very quick and easy to make, and a nice gift for someone close to you. It only takes 2 ingredients! 😉😘

@@JessiKitchen I was more captivated by the strawberry candies than the rum🤣 You're right, it's quick and easy and it's ingenious how you mix the two together and "viola" ! I doubt the stores carry these candies, I'm pretty sure because I buy hard candies every now and then and our hard candy options remain lackluster🙃😄

I love candies more than anything. Much more than chocolate. And here in Europe there are so many companies and brands. You fall off your chair, or you have hyperglycaemia.🤣 For my "Strawberry Candy Rum" I used soft strawberry candies from Haribo. Haribo is a very famous gummy bear brand, with German origin. There are so many different types of this brand in Germany that you could try a different type of candy almost every day. 🍭🍬 But this brand is not only known in Germany, but throughout Europe and beyond. Each country now also has specific varieties, tailored to the tastes of the residents. These soft strawberry candies are particularly popular in England, France and Italy. But after some research I found out that there are hardly any Haribos candies in the USA. The best known there is the Haribo gold-bears. So I googled another solution for you. Here are some websites with obvious variants for you, so that you can produce your own Strawberry Candy Rum, despite the lack of Haribo in the USA. 👉www.candynation.com/strawberry-gummy-drops 👉 www.justcandy.com/products/ns30034-strawberry-puffs 👉 www.candyfavorites.com/gummi-strawberry-puffs 👉 www.candystore.com/products/strawberry-and-cream-drops?variant=42688728498363 Now there is one more reason to make a trip to Europe. Because of the candy variety! I wish you a nice weekend and send you a big kiss 😘

@@JessiKitchen Good evening, my dear! I hope the weather is pleasantly warm and breezy in the Algarve🌴sun🌞 You don't say😁! I'm surprised by your love for candies 🍬 What is your favorite candy? I had a good laugh over your hyperglycaemia remark🤣 I am so relieved we have an anemic selection of candies here, to my disbelief; otherwise, I'd be a likely candidate for hyperglycaemia! You're spot on! We only have the Haribo gold bears and a limited few options such as the sour and coke-flavored gummies😒 Thank you very much for scouring the net for equivalent variants on my behalf, now I know it's a gummy version that you used for this recipe contrary to what i initially thought was a hard candy! This strawberry candy rum will be next in line after the Mandarin liqueur😅 Agreed, the gamut of candies is another reason to visit Europe😆, however, only Portugal and Spain are on my radar🥰 I wish you a restful Sunday tomorrow if you don't have to work, if you do, I hope it'll be over with in a cinch🤗

@@ewhrlaw5290 My favorite bonbon? This is not just a variety that are equal to a lot of varieties. 🤣😂 Where do I start only 😉 I love it especially fruity. Saure Sweet are not my thing, and I always turn the face to comic grimaces. 🤪 I love but also licorice, unfortunately there are only little varieties in Portugal here. Denmark, on the other hand, was the purest liquorice paradise. I believe in the Northern European countries is a little more. Currently, I am always working on the weekends. It's a lot going on and it's summertime. The last weekend in July I'm free 💪 a big kiss to you 😘

Thanks a lot ,Terry , for your comment! 🤗 A great question you asked. There is another video on my channel called: Homemade Kiwi Jam (th-cam.com/video/w9Com7BGP9c/w-d-xo.html). I used fresh kiwis for this video, but shouldn't you be able to make the jam with kiwis that have already been cooked? It would be worth a try. 😉 If you should try it, please give me a comment regarding your preparation of a kiwi jam according to my recipe with already cooked kiwis. Thanks very much! 😗

Thank you for your reply. :) Jam from cooked kiwi came up quite well, but for next time I would put less sugar. 500 grams was too much, but I guess everyone needs to find out the right amount of ingredients for them. :) Thank you for the idea. ♥ But I probably did something wrong while preparing syrup, because it has good consistency and it is sweet, but I can't feel much of a kiwi flavor there. :/ To be honest, I haven't had kiwi syrup yet before, so I don't know how the flavor is supposed to be.

@@AsteriaUniverse Hello Terry, thank you very much for your feedback! I'm glad I could help you with this idea. In my video "Homemade Kiwi Jam" I used 500 g preserved sugar ( 2:1) for one kilo of cuted kiwi. For me, the question arises as to how many parts of kiwi you used for 500g of sugar, and which sugar you used, so that I can give you more information about the excessive sugar content. Jam - how much sugar does it need? You need the sugar for preserving. The sugar removes water from the environment and thus also from possible mold. But if you work very hygienically, e.g., sterilize the jars and lids with really boiling water or in the oven and then fill the jam well up so that no oxygen remains, then the jam will last for a long time with little sugar. For the kiwi syrup! A kiwi syrup should have a great aroma of kiwis. A few things can contribute a significant role to the intense flavor. There are many different types of kiwis. The kiwifruit originated in China and Taiwan, but today the kiwis from the supermarket come from many other countries. Such as from New Zealand, California, Italy, Spain, Greece, Iran, Chile, Turkey, France etc. The kiwis that I used in my video are from a private cultivation in a garden, they are very small in shape than a common kiwi from the trade, but they have a very intense taste. Since the kiwis come from very different countries, each kiwi has its own special taste, which could also play a role in the production of the syrup. Big kiss

Thank you for your comment. 🙏 Try the pumpkin jam recipe, it is very delicious. You are absolutely right, it is quick and easy to prepare. 😉 Beijinho 😙

Thanks for your comment.🤗 I wish you a lot of fun with the preparation. Please share your experience with this recipe for cherry syrup later 🍒. thanks 😚

Yes, just 25g of flour and a teaspoon of baking powder. It may sound a bit strange, but it has to be like this. If there is too much flour in the dough, the soft and tender dough will break when rolled up. Ooooh... I'm curious about your opinion. PS: I didn't succeed with the first orange roll right away. Then I was so ambitious, I did a wide one immediately afterwards. Just about the amount of flour! 😘

@@JessiKitchen My dear, your orange roll knocked it out of the park😍🍊💛 Thank you so much for your prompt clarification, just so you know I was hellbent on making this today and sure I did😉 I followed all your instructions precisely except that I misread the amount of orange juice, I squeezed 1 cup instead of juice from 1 orange 😂 I was anxious when the batter appeared watery while being baked but I ran with it, I set it at 350F and turned it up to 360F after the tenth minute as I thought it might help solidify the batter. All in all I baked it for about 25 minutes and it gradually solidified. The fragrance of butter, eggs and oranges wafting in the oven was pure bliss and mouth-watering😍 Your recipe and the ratio of your ingredients are flawless and it is evident you have made efforts to refine it! Now I appreciate why the amount of flour seems far less than what most cakes would require. Keeping the roll intact aside, I find that the most significant difference I have noticed is that your orange roll recipe tastes refreshingly clean and it brings out the essence of all the ingredients without the artificial aftertaste of all commercial cakes/pastries to which our palate has acclimatized😒 Besides, it's not smothered with cream; the sugar coating in my opinion accentuates this cake roll. Jessie, your orange roll has raised the bar to the level where I don't think I will ever have the appetite for any of the chemically-laden cake rolls. I couldn't resist how decadently tasty the orange roll is, I ate almost half of it after dinner and this ought to tell you how much I love it😋😍🤗 Thank you so much for your encouragement to give this a try at this extraordinary introduction to what I think I've missed out of what cakes ought to taste like until today! A big and warm thank you hug for you😎🤗🥰 To sum up on my opinion : 11/10 on a scale from 1 -10 🍊😆👍

@@ewhrlaw5290 My dear 🤩 you very much for your opinion and the high score. I am very pleased.🥳 I also found it very interesting and exciting to read your personal report on how others have experienced this recipe and the preparation. It also gives me clues as to where I should be a bit more detailed in the description! I am very happy about your comment and I am really happy that my passion can also infect others. We've been writing a lot about the orange roll over the past few days, so I got the idea to make another version with lemons. 🍋It wouldn't be typically Portuguese (although there are as many oranges as lemons growing on the trees here) but it would be a derivation and extension of the recipe. A big kiss to you 😘

@@JessiKitchen Jessi, well-deserved🍊😍 You've done a fantastic job with outlining your recipe meticulously, keep up the great work👍🤗 I am a firm believer that one's sincerity can touch hearts, and one's passion can inspire and ignite that in another- you are exemplary of these🌞🤗 A zesty and tangy lemon roll is in the making 🍋? This will dovetail nicely with your laranja rolls! Yes, please bring it on😆😎

@@ewhrlaw5290 Thank you for your compliments to me! 😊 I'll work on the lemon roll cakes. Promised! 🤫🍋😘

Liebe Grit, ich habe den Pak Choi Kohl im Supermarkt gesehen und dachte mir, der sieht aber toll aus. 😋 Ausserdem kannte ich diesen Kohl noch nicht und habe ihn noch nie verspeist. Also ran an den Speck! 🤣 Apropos, den hätte ich auch dazugeben können. Schmeckt bestimmt auch sehr lecker! Es ist ein sehr einfaches und schnelles Gericht. Für die Zubereitung habe ich mich an die portugiesische Küche gehalten. Immer schön Olivenöl und gehackten Knoblauch. Damit kann einfach nichts schief gehen. 😉 Das PakChoi Gericht war ausgeprochen lecker und aromatisch. Auf jeden Fall wiederholungsfähig!

Hello my dear🤗, I'm very well and happy right now, because I'm in holidays. I enjoy my life in Denmark. 🇩🇰⚓⛵ I've been here for a week and I still have a few more days. My first visit to this country. It's so beautiful here, pure nature, green meadows, wonderful architecture and very friendly people. Here is a link from my Instagram account, where you can see photos of Denmark.🇩🇰 instagram.com/jessi_fiesta?igshid=ZDdkNTZiNTM= I've been looking for squid ink pasta in your area, it seems to be proving very difficult indeed. But you can buy this pasta at Amazon. I therefore advise you to cook the dish according to the recipe with normal spaghetti. I promise it will be just as good. 😋🍝 I'll get back to you as soon as I'm back in the Algarve. A big kiss from Aarhus. 😘🥰😍

@@JessiKitchen Howdy Jessi 😎🤗 I am excited for you and equally happy to know that you're on vacation and enjoying a much-deserved respite from work or simply just enjoying a nice getaway😃 Thanks tons for sharing pictures of your trip in Aarhus which looks beautiful by the way, very Scandinavian 😂 and I look forward to browsing through your extensive photo collage of the Algarve! I've wondered what your dog looks like, now I know your dog is a Pom 😍 He/she is very beautiful😍, this breed is very sassy from my encounter with them and they do pack a punch despite their tiny size😂 Very kind of you to run the search on my behalf, I checked earlier and only Amazon carries it but they normally charge a premium which is aligned with their Whole Foods stores price structure. There is an Italian specialty store in my city, I will go in tomorrow and see if they carry it. I couldn't wait for the weekend, I actually made this for dinner tonight and I used brown rice and quinoa pasta instead. I believe you, you are absolutely right it tasted delicious even with a substitution of pasta type! It was easy to prepare, not to mention how clean and organic it tasted; your recipe rocks 😍 Your recipe couldn't have landed at a better time when I have all these shrimps sitting in my freezer but I lacked creativity to put together a gratifying meal like tonight. Thank you again! In fact, I love this so much that I intend to cook this and your favorite canja 😉 when I am ready to invite my friends over again. No worries about getting back to me, I just wanted to make sure that you know that I did respond to your previous replies albeit a week late because I was recovering from a middle ear infection that plagued me for months which I mistook for swimmer's ear which is common since I'm a swimmer. Last but not least, guess what? I am psyched to share with you and I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that my cousin texted me yesterday that she's on your turf (in your hometown)😆😎 She and her family drove from the Basque country all the way to the Algarve, and they are staying at the Rocha Brava resort. She sent me pictures of the caves, the trail that connects the seven hanging valleys and today she sent me pictures of the beaches in Lagos - absolutely stunning😍😍😍! Jessi🌞, have a blast in Aarhus and enjoy the rest of your trip! Have a safe trip home and I send you a big hug from this side of the pond😁🤗 It rained again this week😪 but it'll be 23C throughout the weekend - Yeehaw😉🌞

@@ewhrlaw5290 Hello my dear 😃 , I have arrived back to my home country. It was a very nice trip and is highly recommended! When I landed in Faro in the evening, a very warm air got around my ears. My dear man, compared to Denmark, that was a temperature difference of almost 20°C. I hope you got over your middle ear infection well. Because that can really hurt. The pains are like contractions. What a joy your cousin is in the Algarve! How small is the world. Does she live in the Basque Country? Or was she just vacationing there? If she lives in California like you do, tell her to bring you a package of squid pasta. 😜 I was on the website of the "Rocha Brava Resort". That looks great. Your cousin is having a good time. She has also chosen a wonderful corner of the Algarve. Fantastic beaches, caves and much more to discover. Surely, she also did a boat tour on the Algarve coast. How long is she staying? She should definitely go to the island of Armona. 👉th-cam.com/video/XZzUfG1lzkA/w-d-xo.html I also call this island the Caribbean of Portugal! Also, I am very pleased to read that you made this recipe and used a different type of pasta and rice instead of the missing squid pasta. Fine! 🤩I am very happy that you liked this recipe and that you even want to cook it for your friends. You get to the point with your words organic and clean, that is what makes the Mediterranean cuisine special. And shows once again that with only a few ingredients and time you can prepare fantastic and healthy dishes. A big kiss for you 😘

@@JessiKitchen Welcome back, Jessie, home sweet home😉🌞Your pics of Aarhus are fabulous😁 The temperature difference is pretty dramatic! Tell me about it, that has been the pattern in L.A. for the past six months with over 20 degrees of difference in temperature between day and night! It consistently dipped to as low as 3 degrees celsius in the morning, you can imagine how fun my swim was out in the freezing cold in an outdoor pool😅 Bipolarity at its most extreme. Do you prefer the climate in Denmark to the Algarve or the other way around? Thanks a lot, I'm all good now and yes, the pain was like contractions and it was tormenting 😫 Sounds like you were inflicted with it before? I couldn't even sleep because the pain was throbbing. A small world indeed and plenty of joy to be had! I believe they were there for 4-5 days. My cousin loved her stay in the Algarve and was very impressed, I am sure it was so comforting considering how windy and cold it is in Pais Vasco. She lives there permanently because her husband is a Basque. She stated that she knows I will love the Algarve since she is privy to my gravitation toward the water. I told her not to entice me😂 If only she were heading back this way, I would ask her for a favor to get me the squid ink pasta😂 If she were living in California and visiting the Algarve, I would ask her to drop off those pancake mix for you! Thank you so much for checking the place they stayed at and for validating it and also those gems/attractions of the Algarve she visited! She also mentioned that the food is tasty😃 Not sure if she did the boat tour, I gotta ask her. Thanks a lot for the link, I'll share the link you sent me with her; the beach on the island of Armora is breathtaking! No wonder you've named it the Carribean of Portugal, aptly so! Once again, thanks a lot for this remarkable and healthy recipe; I will share the pics with you when I make it next with the actual squid ink pasta😎 A big warm hug for you - a wondrous day at 97F (36C) today🤗

@@ewhrlaw5290 In the summer I prefer the climate in Denmark and the rest of the year in the Algarve. Because in summer it is incredibly warm here. So warm that you don't even have the energy to walk anymore. But.... There is always a nice breeze and wind from the sea. So you are not hemmed in between mountains. In my opinion you enjoy the Algarve from September to May! But 36°C already in California, how many degrees does the thermometer rise to in summer? Then it's time for your Raspberry Gin Fizz! 🍹🥳😋

Hello Tiago, thanks a lot for your comment. 🤗 100ml cold water is needed for this recipe. Also thanks for the attention, I changed the amount of cold water in my video description. 👍 Beijinhos 😚

@@JessiKitchen Thank you very much for the answer ;)

@@bombain Hello Tiago, did you succeed with the Portuguese Carob Tart? And did you find the recipe easy and was the tart delicious? Beijinho 😗

Vielen Dank liebe Grit. 😃Hast du schon Tintenfisch Pasta mit Shrimps gemacht?! Einfach köstlich 😋😘

@@JessiKitchen na sicher👌

Super. Du weißt es zu genießen 😉😘

My dear 🤗 , I only found this message now. It's already more than 2 weeks old. 🙄 I had to laugh reading your lines. Mandarin juice with a bit of alcohol. 😉Yes, the Madarine liqueur can also be sold as a juice! 🤣 You have to try it next Madarine season. This juice is very tasty. burp! 🥴 The "Raspberry Gin Fizz Cocktail" is a very refreshing and fine thing for the summer. And summer is just around the corner, so a bottle of gin and respberries should be in the house as soon as possible! 😎 big kiss 😘

@@JessiKitchen Hi there, my dear, greetings from another day of heat which stood at 30 C today which was quite nice🌞😉 Gin on the rocks came to mind but I settled for a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc instead😬 No worries, I suspected my replies probably took a long swim to get to you 😂Hopefully you'll receive the rest of my previous replies at some point😀 You cracked me up with your sense of urgency reminder that a bottle of gin and raspberries need to be in the house ASAP 😂 Your go-getter approach rocks! Guess what? I actually bought a bottle of gin less than a week after I watched your video! I had it on the rocks and made another by adding a cranberry-raspberry sparkling water in the absence of raspberries😆 I'll get the raspberries ready for this fine thing of a "Raspberry Gin Fizz Cocktail"😎 in time for summer. Until I can find an alternative for the base alcohol in your Mandarin liqueur, I will have to sit this out. But I can imagine how thirst-quenching and refreshing it must taste! Sending you a big hug and plenty of good vibes🤗😎 💛🍊

@@ewhrlaw5290 Hello there, with these warm temperatures it is always good to have a bottle of gin and ice cubes at home. On some summer days there is nothing better than a glass of gin tonic water with a slice of cucumber, lemon or orange in it! It also tastes delicious with a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange. But there are also lovers of gin who prefer to drink it with mineral water or on the rock! There are so many great gin tonic recipes out there that you don't even know where to start and where to stop. Gin tonic is a very popular drink among locals and tourists, especially in the summertime! For your Madarine liqueur you can also use white rum or vodka. It just shouldn't be a strong self-aromatic alcohol. Have a nice GinWeekend 😉and a big kiss to you 😘

@@JessiKitchen Happy Sunday, my dear🤗🌞 I have an endless supply of ice cubes with the gin on standby and ready-to-go😆, once again you have enlightened me with brilliant ideas that inspire me😍 Not to mention how I love learning about your customs and local preferences! I might have tried gin with tonic eons ago but the only memory I had was how Bombay Sapphire just didn't do it for me. Notwithstanding, I look forward to trying out each of these gin recipes you've shared with me😉 I am happy this gin that I bought recently is agreeable. As you may have guessed, I am currently so entranced by Vinho Verde to the extent that my favorite whisky has taken a backseat😅 Thank you very much for the tip on making the Mandarin liquor, it was music to my ears when you mentioned vodka as an alternative base because I do have them readily-available. I was planning to kickstart this yesterday but wasn't in the mood to extract the mandarins😅 Once this "project" comes to fruition, I will most definitely post an update/comment on your video. A warm hug for you, my dear🤗😎

@@ewhrlaw5290 Hello my dear.🤗 Vinho Verde won't let you go!!🤣You will probably enjoy the wine throughout the summer. And then all the delicious gin drinks too.😉🍹 You are fully booked for the next 4 months. 🥳😂 So the loving and understandingly whisky must wait for you until winter! ⛄ On the subject of mandrin liqueur: You have the ambition and desire to do something, but the motivation is not there. I often feel like you too. Then just let it be, the will dies last. 😎 By the way, Portugal also produces very delicious and qualitative gins. You fall off your squat. 😅🤪 I send you big kiss 😘

Thank you very much for your kind words.🤗 The salad is simply wonderfully refreshing and aromatic. Chickpeas are also high in protein, carbohydrates and fiber. A great idea also for summer days when you don't feel like hot food.😋😘

@@JessiKitchen Hi🤗 Although I like chickpeas, I rarely ate them because it’s not prominent in my culture. Until I saw your video, I didn’t know they need to be rinsed off! That’s why I used to find their taste to be a bit off, thank you for being so detailed in your video; it really helps😍 I’m thrilled that I’ll be eating them more often since I’ve picked up this fabulous recipe from you😉 Thank you for sharing its nutritional benefits and I second you on this being a great idea during summer when hot foods are not as appetizing, I prefer something more cooling like😎 Not to mention how versatile this is, I made this again on Monday and used this last night to make a wrap with romaine lettuce on a naan bread; it was crisp and delicious😍 Jessi, thank you again for introducing this fantastic recipe to me, a big warm hug for you🥰🤗

@@ewhrlaw5290 Always with pleasure! A big kiss for you 😘

@@JessiKitchen Right back at you🥰🤗, thank you.

Thank you for your kind comment. 🤗 Celery is a very healthy vegetable and it is well known that in America this vegetable is a staple in many dishes, smoothies and juices. Even the Bloody Mary deserves a stick of celery. 😎 Celery is an ideal vegetable for soups, like in this chicken soup, I totally agree with you. There's just one personal thing, I just don't like celery. Maybe a trauma from my childhood, celery was everywhere.😂 How is the weather situation? I heard on the news that there was more rain and many places are under water. I send you sunny greetings from the Algarve. It's finally getting warm here ☀🥰

@@JessiKitchen Hi there Jessi😉 You are spot on about celery’s popularity in American dishes and its nutritional value! If I may add, our classic tuna sandwich is also celery-based, which happens to be one of my favorite type of sandwiches. You cracked me up with your witty quip about garnishing a Bloody Mary with a celery stick🤣 I’ll gladly take the celery stick but I’ll pass on the Bloody Mary😅 Now I know the story behind your “allergy” toward celery, I hope I didn’t re-traumatize you by mentioning it! It made a rare appearance now and then in my meals when I was growing up, I guess that’s why I’m receptive toward it. You’ve inspired me to make your favorite soup last night🤗 I must admit I was blown away by how distinctively good it turned out😍 In the past, the few times when I made chicken soup it was basically with vegetables and packaged chicken broth to substitute for the chicken because even when I would add chicken portions to it, the meat would be discarded and never eaten. This time around I was intent on sticking to the essence of your favorite soup recipe and I shredded the chicken breast per your demonstration. The fact that the chicken meat becomes bite-sized after getting shredded makes it the perfect complement to the soup! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and I appreciate it more now than I did before, thank you for sharing 🤗 The rain has ceased (gone on vacation🤣) here in LA for the time being, but I read that the Central region got slammed pretty badly and certainly under water! I can’t imagine having to be evacuated and airlifted from floods😰 But I’ve dealt with wildfires before, from being trapped on the freeway while the fires were raging on the side of the freeway to choking on smoke while surrounding mountains burnt. Well, that’s part and parcel of living in California 🥵😅 I sure appreciate your sunny greetings, sending you good vibes and warmest wishes😎🤗

​@@ewhrlaw5290 I am very happy about your message regarding your made chicken soup.🥳 You dared to make them?! Fine! There is a big round of applause from me. 👏👏Preparing is a lot easier than you think and well worth it. Since there has only been talk of snowstorms and heavy rains in California lately, I have completely neglected the annual fires. Of course, this was always reported here in europe. Maybe you should change the state that you live in. As beautiful as California is and as it is known worldwide, it has many pitfalls.😟 Take care & big kisses 🥰

@@JessiKitchen Happy Sunday, Jessi😉 I hope it’s been restful and relaxing for you, now that it’s sunny and warm in the Algarve, your dog can enjoy a nice walk without getting his/her paws wet😎 Thanks tons for your generous acknowledgement🥰 You’re right, it wasn’t as complex and definitely well worth the efforts although it did test my patience🤣 Your recipe tastes delicious, clean and natural without that superficial chicken flavor that is detectable in all the packaged chicken/ turkey broth although supposedly made with natural ingredients. Now I can resonate with why it’s your favorite soup🤗 I guess I underestimated the magnitude of media coverage our State receives in Europe. Yes, our blazing wildfires and all that fun stuff😅 According to the latest data, close to half a million people moved out. Not that I’m immune from the challenges and pitfalls, not at all! Good question…..I choose to stay because I appreciate the upsides of what California offers such as its comforting Mediterranean climate, access to an abundance of produce and healthy foods and my friendships among other reasons, it comes down to working out a balance with its downsides and challenges. The grass is not always greener on the other side. I live by the philosophy that in life we win some and we lose some, this is perhaps to me the most pragmatic and grounding approach to navigating through every aspect of my life. In a way, perhaps this mirrors or aligns with your appreciation for your beautiful country😍and to stay despite lower wages. I miss your oatmeal and apple pancakes terribly, I had to try to finish the bagels last Sunday and today I have to try to enjoy this healthier pseudo-chocolate thingy😂 that I don’t want to waste but it turned out be lackluster and unsweetened😅 www.target.com/p/kodiak-protein-packed-muffin-mix-double-dark-chocolate-14oz/-/A-51812243 I picked these out for your reading pleasure, they do outline some pertinent figures and reasons for the exodus from California: abc7.com/amp/are-people-leaving-california-where-should-i-move-to-housing-in-moving/12826300/ www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/why-are-so-many-residents-fleeing-california Sending you good vibes and a big warm hug 🤗😎

@@JessiKitchen Dear Jessi, I just finished watching this and I thought I would share this with you in the event that you’re interested in a more in-depth understanding. I find this perceptive and objective and the comments section is very telling if you have time to comb through them: th-cam.com/video/7ggNbVd8f3M/w-d-xo.html

Hello my dear,🤗 it's actually not easy to buy Quark in America! That's a bit sad. Since Quark is very delicious and healthy. Here is an internet link for you regarding Quark: malaysiandigest.com/where-to-buy-quark-in-the-usa/ A big kiss from the sunny Algarve 😘

@@JessiKitchen Thank you for looking into this on my behalf, very kind of you🤗 There’s a Trader Joe’s in San Dimas that is close enough for me to check out😉 I’m curious to find out what quark tastes like. I send you big warm hug despite the persistent rain🤗
