according to east asian calendars, it is new year this saturday.

coincidentally, this year, we celebrate shrovetide in catholic europe at the same time (fat thursday today, actually) so I will also have food to poast

this is me today

It doesn't look like blinis

are you that cat or the plate of pancakes?

new year was 2 months ago, it's time to move on

I‘m the chair.

This is a special celebration called “Цагаан сар”

It ain’t pancakes or блин. It’s a 7 layer flat cake, I made 3!

what is between the waffles?

Sweet tasty cream~

what a coincidence, I'm in a need of something to sit on

 

recipe please

will you wait until lunar new year or will eat them now?

also recipe please too

This is a family recipe, no one but me... and my grandparents knows about this.

Bernd is family.

I'm this orange kotlet today and I fear that if you tried to sit on me your massive globes would squish my tiny frame.

You may pet me a little. But if you touch the wrong spots I will attack.

OP!!

you tease

 

will you post a picture of the assembled cake?

 

I won't crush you with my giant ass unless you ask nicely

 

and that orange kot looks too chill to attack anyone, so I'm not scared

But lunar new year is later and you preppared that a day ago, shouldnt you have preppared it today?

If I were to prepare today, there wouldn't be any food for the guests!

Enjoy life take time.

today I fried "flancati"

(apparently english wikipedia lists something very similar as "angel wings")

Looks like russian Kreble.

how was it?

 

because if it's anything like chrust then it's delicious

yes

happy new lunar year bernds

Why is everyone suddenly celebrating lunar year?

Today in the city many people were talking about it.

Happy new lunar year bernds

they are (secretly) chinese

did other germans also celebrated it? i mean its a really showy celebration and catches up the attention of people due to its misticisms, why dont you return to your original religion intead of keeping christianity, bernd?

i don't think so, there are just many students from all over the world in my city

 

I was just surprised how many people seem to know/care about this, including Germans and also OP. but i guess this can be explained due to Mongolia's geographical proximity to China..?

I mean it is February, celebrating new year right now is fucking stupid, even for the Chinamen it is February as they don't even use their own calendar.

looks alright but I'd prefer something savory. will you also be celebrating with a meat dish?

Looks alright

it is only an unofficial traditional new year's celebration

jan 1 nee year is the official one

Are you sure it's not just because it's coincidentally at the same thing as Fasching that we do celebrate?

 

Mongols adopted Chinese calendar at the time of Kublai Khan iirc.

 

Oh yeah, did I mention that Serbs celebrate New Year on January 14?

Today I fried "krofi".

I still can't figure out how to make them so they float on oil better so they have a stripe in the middle.

Otherwise they are very tasty.
