It’s short for “eetlepel” :-)

Not really meal prep, but I found that the major step forward was the simple act of planning out the meals I want to prepare during the upcoming week beforehand. This allows me to just buy the stuff I need. I then proceed to cook one meal from my weekly list per day. Over the course of the months I got quite good at finding a mix between quick & easy recipes and more ambitious ones.

For all of this I recommend the Paprika3 app. It’s an invaluable tool for keeping track of recipes, planning meals for the week and even making a grocery list based on the planned meals. With a family, including small children this really cute down on the wasted time of making several trips to the supermarket.

I try to avoid the heavy cream in this type of dishes to end up with a Al Burro sauce instead of the Americanised Alfredo sauce. I understand that this version ends up being much creamier though.

A really nice picture. Although I have never been to Cape Henlopen, I’ve spent many hours studying maps of Lewes for my hobby as an amateur mapmaker. Sorry for the link to Reddit, but I do feel like I’ve connected to that place somehow by virtue of these creative projects.

Ich bin alt genug, um der Stolze Besitzer eines ADAC-Straßenatlasses zu sein; mittlerweile leider hoffnungslos veraltet :-)

Anscheinend funktioniert “Bücherei” als Suchbegriff, “Bibliothek” nur, wenn das im Namen vorkommt.

Leider ein Beispiel, warum der Ansatz von OSM zwar gut ist, aber das derzeitige Produkt leider nicht auf dem Niveau des Platzhirsches ist.

OSM-Daten sind genau so gut, wie Freiwillige sie gemacht haben.

Ist bei Google Maps grundsätzlich an vielen Stellen genauso, aber die User-Basis ist vielfach größer.

Dafür, dass sie “on-demand” heruntergeladen werden wie bei Google Maps, haben sie wohl nicht die Ressourcen.

Leider noch ein Beispiel, wie die Funktionalität leidet. Für eine anstehende, längere Fahrt in den Urlaub müsste ich also das Kartenmaterial quer durch Europe runterladen. Das ist leider für mich nicht praktikabel und wieder ein Punkt, der den etablierten Marktführer weiter auf dieser Position verweilen lässt.

Bitte nicht falsch verstehen; ich würde gerne weniger auf Google-Dienste zurückgreifen und tue das an vielen Stellen (Mail, Cloud-Storage, Kalender, Browser) auch erfolgreich. Gerade Maps hat aber einfach keine ansatzweise gleichwertige Alternative, die nicht gleich zum Hobby wird.

There’s more with an agreement. Some also have a partial agreement, where only a written test is necessary. Here’s the full list, if you’re interested: https://www.german-way.com/for-expats/living-in-germany/german-drivers-license-reciprocity/

Can you tell/show me how/where I can use OSM as a replacement for Google Maps. I’ve given OsmAnd a try and found it lacking.

I ran a few tests such as searching for my local library. Unfortunately I had to use the exact wording (“Stadtbibliothek”) rather than simpler, more common wording (“Bibliothek”). The Google map found it immediately. Similarly I searched for a local Café, which I easily found in Google Maps (despite not capitalising anything). Meanwhile the business is not present in OSM, despite being the most popular Café in my town.

Additionally navigation doesn’t work for me for regions I haven’t downloaded. How would I go about getting it to work for navigation to places further afield that I haven’t downloaded?

Unfortunately this seems all to plausible. Despite Firefox and ad blocking in general, there’s very few services that rival Google’s Android and (in my opinion) none that can honestly rival Maps at present.

So, it’s basically a loss leader in this scenario to feed other sevices like the ad network?

driving license was another one mentioned. Having it not expire before you can transfer it is preferable

This is a giant, often overlooked issue. My home country of the Netherlands for example doesn’t allow a simple transef and makes you take a test (because road safety is important to Dutch people!). In Germany it’s even worse. There it depends on the state you obtained your US license in, since Germany has agreements with some states but not all…

Awesome! I didn’t even realise it, but this is a great recipe for Lent.

Sorry, I added the pic directly instead of linking to it. The picture is from the original recipe source.

Can confirm. I’ve lived in the Netherlands, France and Germany for basically all my life and I don’t recall ever actively saying thank you to a bus driver. I don’t even remember when last I exchanged any words with one thanks to modern fare systems.

On the contrary I say thank you to cashiers at the supermarket or staff at the bakery several times per week.

In conclusion: chickpeas are awesome and I love them

This is such an annoyance. As someone who regularly reads and watches media in several times different languages, the scourge of auto translate has only become worse. With the advent of more capable translation tools this will probably only get worse. I’ve already switched my OS language to English on all of my devices and found that it helped a little.

My daughter really loves Zucchini nuggets with a dip of Hummus. For the Zucchini nuggets, just use shredded Zucchini, panko, grated cheese (Mozzarella works well, but it’s really up to preference) and some herbs. Use an egg or two to bind everything together. Form into nuggets and bake in the oven until nice and crispy on the outside. Use any dip you fancy. We often use Hummus or chili sauce.

These are awesome! I really loved them when travelling in Portugal. I could eat them for almost any meal.

I don’t think I remember this trip specifically, but we travelled extensively in the area between 1991 and 1997. That’s my grandmother and my mother standing besides the car. I believe my father and I hiked up the hillside and took the picture from there.
