maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Autumn starting to come in and so I made Goulash for dinner - this is a veggie version and very tasty too. 141
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Our local pool closed the outdoor pools today. After our morning swim (indoors) we attended the closing event which is one where people can bring their dogs to the pool and they can play (the pools are then emptied and cleaned). Was fun. Not the best picture though - sorry. #dogs 060
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Balcony garden has turned up trumps once more. From mixed tomatoes to Spaghetti alla Norma (with added aubergine and basil). Delicious. Can't tell you how pleased I've been with the balcony garden this summer. #gardening #balconyGardening 051
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Parcel arrived today from Medimops - that's my bedtime reading sorted for a week or two (maybe a bit longer than that) #books #mysteryNovels 050
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Today's haul for tonight's ratatouille. I've been so pleased with the aubergine and pepper plants. There's another meal's worth still on the plant. And my toms are coming in. #balconyGarden #gardenProduce 040
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 04/08/2026In the Spring, I bought a mixed packet of seeds - no idea really what they were. Put them in a trough on my balcony. Anyway, this appeared this week. I don't know what it is - my friends say it's a zinnia - but I like it. #bloomScrolling 070
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Another hot day but at least my balcony flowers are enjoying it #bloomScrolling #balconyGarden 050
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I've been watching these grow in a neighbour's garden - a reminder I now live in a wine growing area though I guess they're dessert grapes not wine grapes. #Summer2026 040
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 28/06/2026The hot weather still hasn't let up in Germany so we went out for the traditional Italian solution. Mine is raspberry & salted caramel. Him Indoors had salted caramel too but with whiskey cream! Zwei kugel. #iceCream #Eiscreme #summer2026 040
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 24/06/2026These seem to have come into flower overnight in all this heat. #summerFlowers #bloomScrolling 622511
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 11/06/2026This truly magnificent tree lives in our local town park and this is how it looked this morning during my morning walk on the way to the coffee shop. #trees 090
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Went out into our local town yesterday where they're having a festival and decided to visit the part that was the craft fair just to 'have a look'. We are a couple of hopeless spendthrifts. You can't really tell from the picture but the glasses have a beautiful iridescence. #brunnenfest #oberursel 050
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Since we moved apartment (March) & gained access to a balcony, I have realised just how much I have missed gardening in the 5 years since we came to Germany. This is my herb trough, the first thing that's really come together. More (much) to come. Maybe I should start a series. #balconyGardening 060
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Today's lunch: I love arancini. Followed by a small divine chocolate truffle laced with a little rum and covered in white chocolate and pistachios. A little Italian café in Frankfurt (Casa Nostra) who make the pastries: more precisely by Antonio's (joint owner) dad who was a pastry chef in Milan. 060

maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 07/04/2026This was our Easter visitor. For a Britisher, it was a rare treat. If you're German, not so much. #squirrel #squirrelCrimeWave #balconyView 0102
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Spargelzeit in Germany - one of the best times of year to be here, I think. Though the Germans think I'm mad for liking the Green stuff. Don't care, it's delicious. #asparagus #spargel #germany 061
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Spring Vegetable Soup - made today. It's turned a bit chilly. We even had hail this morning though it's sunning now. #soup #germany 071
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Just had the best Saturday luncheon: homemade leek & potato soup + crusty brotchen and some Stilton I managed to get from Frankfurt's Galeria markt (expensive). It's a Colston Bassett too so worth it. Followed by a slice of stollen (made last week) & proper cappuccino made with the espresso machine. 040
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 22/12/2025So it's cooked and this is just before I introduced it to the brandy bottle and wrapped it up for the night. It will get another feed in a few days and we'll eat it at New Year I think. #Christmas #ChristmasCake #Christmas2025 060

maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Christmas is definitely getting started in Frankfurt now. Christmas market has cheered up the cold, grey days with pretty colours though it will be a little longer before it gets going fully. #christmas #frankfurt #christmasMarket I still can't believe the amount of food available. 250
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Starting the day right with a coffee & stollen at Wackers in Frankfurt. Christmas has arrived apparently: the Xmas market opened today. Not much going on tbh given it's the first day; a grey a chilly day in the last week of November. It'll get busier. #christmas2025 #coffee #wackersFrankfurt 040

maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I was asked how I made the fake chicken pie I posted a few weeks back. So here on my Wordpress blog: frankfurtreport.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/c... It's vegan as it stands and came with a 'Greek' salad. There's no feta included. It came out pretty well. #vegan #vegetarian #recipe 190

maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Made 'chicken' pie for dinner today. 'Chicken' because it's vegetarian - began actually. With a Greek salad (sans feta). I just made it up as I went along. Was pretty good actually. #vegetarian #vegan #pie #SundayDinner 160
maxon @jennamaxon.bsky.social · 02/06/2025I have a great fondness for making soups. I make nice thick, hearty soups in the winter and light, springy soups in the summer. This is a sort of half way house. It's a white bean soup (I blogged about making it here: frankfurtreport.wordpress.com/tag/soup/ ) 070
