Spiced ketchup

of Goethe.

Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that 
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

  2. I tu ja sabràs que està fet el dia 28 d'agost del 2025?
    T'ho saps de memòria o ho hauràs de consultar com jo? 😂😂

    Moltes gràcies pel teu català!😍

    Eine Umarmung

    1. Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Heinrich Heine, Shaw, Hemingway, John McGahern... I know the birth dates of some authors, not their dates of death, though. Why should I? Thanks to their work, they have become immortal. ;-)

      I wish I could speak, read and write Catalan fluently.
      Abraçades, Carme!

  3. Have I said before I like your dating system? Spiced ketchup in your own jar, much better than anything in a store.

    1. I thought it was funny that last year we made tomato purée one day before his 275th birthday, and this year we made spiced ketchup one day after his 276th.
      And you're right: homemade delicacies taste much better!

    1. Not only does it sound interesting, dear Bill; it also does taste interesting. ;-)

  5. Hi Sean - I love the idea of your labels ... also the fact that you noted you made the ketchup a day before last year, this year two days later - but a day after Goethe's birthday ... a fun idea ... what will next year bring - on the day with a courgette cake ?! Cheers Hilary

  6. Hmm, I'm afraid the old privy councillor would turn up his nose at the sight of a courgette cake. A pint of Guinness and a wee drop of Talisker would probably more to his taste. ;-)
