It is coming to the end of the year. I am already looking forward to setting up the Christmas tree soon. Maybe, I should do it sometime next week.

The oyakodon is a type of Japanese rice bowl (donburi) which has both the parent and the child (chicken and egg) together in the same dish (hence the term ‘parent-and-child donburi’). It is basically a rice bowl that is topped with a kind of omelette that’s cooked and combined together with a light stock and sauce.
A financier has French origin, a cake baked with ground almond, eggs and icing sugar and that takes the shape of a rectangular gold bar. I love how this cake comes with fruit toppings, because it makes them really palatable, attractive and irresistible for both the young and old.
I love how busy this dish looks! There are red, green, white and brown; bright and dull all coming together in one pan. My favourites – avocado, egg, red chilli. And the best part of it is that I can eat as much as I can and stop whenever I am full.
Back when the guy was working in Frankfurt and when I flew over to visit him, I don’t really recall eating a lot of Semmelknödel there because they always serve this dish as a side along a main dish such as roast meat, schnitzel etc, which is a lot for my small appetite (it’s their version of carbs after all). For me, I’ll always give this a miss and then order something else, like, erm, some cold Brezeln (pretzels) or sausage or Weisswürste (veal sausages) if there are.
