Making

"Off the Cuff "

Plum Kuchen

or any other Kuchen!

I don't have a lot of time to fuss and have a busy schedule,
but I don't want to forget to make a Kuchen!
If you think about it.....what a wonderful way to get your fruit intake.

I know myself well enough that when I am weak, after dinner
and watching TV that I will want a sweet treat.
I know I can go to my Kuchen which is made with fresh fruit and decent ingredients.

So I have devised a way to make a kuchen with self rising flour to save a few steps.
(Also how to make your own self rising flour)
I also don't measure much or fuss with an exact recipe, which I encourage you to do,
as the kuchen dough does not need to be totally exacting as some baked items. 
My Grandma didn't measure most of the time for this. 

So maybe you will see it is not that much work, and you don't need to set aside
a whole morning or afternoon to do it. You can also do it in steps,
The fruit when you have a few minutes, then the crust and bake.

In this newsletter I am going to make a plum kuchen
but you can use this for any kind of fruit you see that is a good buy,
I of course favor, apples, plums, peaches, but don't leave out, banana's,
oranges straweberries and more.

I am using videos because I am not really using a recipe here,
just going "Off the Cuff". If you want the recipe with pictures is provided.

Get creative. Kuchen is a palate for your fruit artistry.

Plums just happen to be a family favorite so when I see them at a good price I get them.

Wildecker Herzbuben -
Herzilein

Ein letztes Glas'l mit alten Freunden
die geh'n allein nach Haus.
In den Straßen
in den Gassen
geh'n langsam die Lichter aus.
Ich seh' auf einmal den Mond gleich zweimal
das hat der Wein gemacht.
Ich weiß du wartest schon seit Stunden
und liegst bestimmt noch wach.
- Doch ich sag ganz lieb:
Herzilein
du mußt nicht traurig sein
ich weiß
du bist nicht gern allein
und schuld war doch nur der Wein
-und du sagst sicher:
Spatzilein
ich werd' dir noch einmal verzeih'n.
Die Hauptsache ist
du kommst heim
- so kann nur ein Engel sein.
Da ist schon der Bahnhof und das alte Wirtshaus
ich geh' noch einmal 'nein
ich glaub
ich könnt' noch ein Glas'l vertragen
ach was
ich lass' es sein.
Alles bewegt sich. Der Kirchturm er dreht sich
das hat…
One last glass'l with old friends
they go home alone.
In the streets
in the streets
slowly go out the lights.
I see the moon twice
that's what the wine did.
I know you've been waiting for hours
and I'm sure you're still awake.
- But I say very nice:
Herzilein
you do not have to be sad
I know
you do not like to be alone
and it was only the wine that was to blame
-and you say:
Spatzilein
I'll forgive you again.
The main thing is
you come home
- that can only be an angel.
There is already the train station and the old tavern
I'll go 'no' again
I think
I could handle another glass
what
I'll let it be.
Everything is moving. The church tower he turns
that has…

Marilena -
A Lausbua muss er sei (HQ)

this song title translates similar to
He's Got to be Cheeky

He's gotta be cheeky
Yesterday I was at my gran's
and she asked me:
"What kind of boys do you like?"
Answering I told her:
 
I'm open to all sorts,
I like to take a wide view.
But there is one thing
on which I won't be moved!
 
[Chorus:]
⎡He can be tall, he can be short,
but he has to be cheeky.
Whether he's fat, whether he's thin,
That doesn't matter to me.
 
If he's rich – wouldn't be so bad,
If he's poor – that's no matter.
I have no special wishes, just –
he's gotta be cheeky.⎦
 
Yes, there are many great boys,
but they've got no nerve.
I much prefer those
who like a lark from time to time.
 
Because with one of those there is always
something to laugh about,
And then I can be sure
that life would never be boring.
