“Totenbeinli” are - despite their macabre name - a very delicious traditional Swiss Christmas Cookie that may also be enjoyed during the year with a cup of steaming coffee or hot tea. “Totenebeinli” means “bones of the death”. Their shape and their crunchiness gave these hazlenut cookies their name. They are not very pretty to look at but their taste with a touch of cinnamon and roasted hazlenut is fantastic.
Since the 16th centuries grifters in German speaking countries were called «Spitzbuben». The cookie with the same name is usually a circular cookie consisting of a base and a lid, filled with jam and a funny face formed by the holes pierced in the top cookie. Outside Switzerland, this cute Christmas cookie is also known as “Linzer Augen” or “Hildabrötchen”. There are countless different Spitzbuben recipes: with and without ground almonds, with whole eggs or just egg whites, filled with jelly or jam. I make my Spitzbuben according to the following recipe.
They are called Skyranger, Skyshield, Millenium Gun, Seaguard, and MANTIS. They combat the most challenging targets in loiter, pop-up, or dive attacks. They feature sophisticated search and tracking sensors that deliver precise fire control data within milliseconds. Equipped with programmable ahead ammunition, whose fuse triggers a cloud over 150 heavy metal sub-projectiles, they can effectively parry swarm attacks by drones. What sounds like straight out of a science fiction movie gets produced in district 11 of the city of Zurich.

Ich bin ein Mensch, der nicht gerne frühstückt. Aber in den Ferien ist alles anders: Ich stehe früh auf (um 6 Uhr oder sogar früher), geniesse den morgendlichen Frieden und die Stille - und ein paar Stunden später ein reichhaltiges Frühstück. In Hoi An, Zentralvietnam, fand ich drei Cafés, die jeweils eine grosse Auswahl an verschiedenen schmackhaften Speisen, Gerichten und Getränken zum Frühstück anbieten (teilweise sogar den ganzen Tag über), welche ich euch nicht vorenthalten will. Sie alle liegen wunderschön etwas ausserhalb des Zentrums, entweder am Strand, im Reisfeld oder direkt am Fluss.

Sablés are easy to bake using ingredients that you usually already have at home. They are deliciously buttery, but wonderfully crispy at the same time. Sablé dough works perfectly fine for numerous flavor variations with different ingredients.
