MY RECIPE FROM GERMANY


                                                           PORK SCHNITZEL




INGREDIENTS
2 lbs boneless pork chops

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp garlic salt (or sub with equal parts salt and garlic powder)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
3 large eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Olive oil, canola oil or any high heat cooking oil to saute
Lemon wedges to serve (don’t skip the lemons!)

RECIPE

Cut pork chops of fat and cut into 1/2" thick cutlets ( I use 3 large costco-sized pork chops and after slicing ended up with 9 pieces). Line a cutting board with plastic wrap, place cutlets in a single layer on cutting board and cover with a wrap (this prvents splatter). Pound cutlets with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan, until 1/4" to 1/8" thick.

                     
                      

Set up 3 bowls. In the first bowl combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 Tbsp paprika and 1/2 tsp pepper. In the second, use a fork to beat 3 eggs. In the third bowl, add 2 cups panko crumbs.

Dredge both sides of each pounded cutlet in flour then dip in beaten egg letting excess egg drip back into the bowl before breading in panko crumbs. It helps to use a fork for the dipping process to  keep your hands clean. Repeat with remaining cutlets.


 Once all cutlets are breaded, heat a large non-stickpan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. once oil is hot, add breaded cutlets a few at a time and sauté 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked trough. Reduce heat if cutlets are browning too quickly. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Cut into one to double check doneness-juices should run clear. Serve right away with lemon wedges, or ranch for the children ;).

When I went to Germany this was my favourite meal.

INTERESTING THINGS TO SEE OR BUY IN CAMDEN TOWN


In Camden Town( London) 
there are many interesting
things like the statue of 
Amy Winehouse: 















In Camden Town you can also see the Cyberdog store, which is a store where they have fluorescent lights on the ceiling and where you can buy clothes and shoes that shine with those types of lights. The store is dark but with the music and the fluorescent lights make it very pretty. 



Also there are fast food stalls, where you can find up a meter long sandwiches; music in the street; and a great variety of international cultures.

MY PERFECT DAY


Good morning, I'm going to describe my perfect day; it's spring 💮 and today is a very hot day 💮.  I'm in my house, and I'm preparing to go with my friends to the Burger King, were we're going to eat a burger for lunch 🍔 and then to watch a comedy film 📺. In the afternoon I'm going to dance 💃. Then I'll go to my house and I will take the dinner, and finally, I'm going to read a book called `` Harry Potter´´ ( I love that book) and I will go to the bed 🏨.
