Schnitzel with Potato Wedges
It seems to me that of late I'm not just behind with the blogging, but also with my cooking. Yesterday's dinner was supposed to be for Monday, the day before that was Sunday's
dinner and tonight's, well, that was meant for Tuesday. As anyone with an Internet connection will inevitably have noticed by now, the world cup is currently under way in Germany. Most of my colleagues are avid football fans and would like to watch the games, even when they are on during work hours. Our company reacted to this wish in the best possible way: They are screening the afternoon games on big screen TVs and all members of staff who's national team is playing get to watch them. And that's not all. They are dishing up finger food from the nations playing that day to all who are watching their teams and giving out Pringles and popcorn to all others who 
have moved their breaks to see parts of the games.The day before yesterday, it was Germany's turn, so we got to skip work and were served Rollmops (pickled herring) and Schnitzel (breaded veal fillet) in front of the telly. I don't like either, though, so I stuck with the popcorn and brought my Schnitzel home for Lofty (who loves it). I was going to serve it the same day, but I had to use up the fish. It had to wait until tonight, but that did it no harm. Reheated in an incredibly hot oven (mine does 220 degrees Celsius, so that's what I gave it for 7 minutes, turning them over half way through) and served with fried mushrooms and potato wedges (unlike in the recipe behind the link, I used no spices) they made a great quick dinner. And my salad with anchovies and butter stewed kohlrabi and carrots wasn't bad either.
