Words on my deskpad

I know this blog has been carelessly handled, sorry!

I have to think of some interesting content but meanwhile I'll post the words I have written on my deskpad while surfing the internet:

bandage - der Verband
sunscreen - das Sonnenschutzmittel
savage - wild
tame - zahm
hostile - feindlich, feindselig
heirloom - das Erbstück

I know it is a funny collection but sometimes it is even worse on my deskpad (die Schreibtischunterlage)!

Cooking vocabulary

Sometimes when I read a blog entry, I come up with a lot of new of forgotten words afterwards. This time I read a recipe from one of my favorite blogs (Cajun Meatloaf by The Pioneer Woman Cooks) and I wrote down the following words:

breadcrumbs - die Semmelbrösel, das Paniermehl
whole milk - die Vollmilch
nutmeg - der Muskat
to yield - ergeben, liefern, einräumen
to mince up - zerhacken, in kleine Stücke schneiden
skillet - die Bratpfanne
to toss - werfen
to incorporate - verbinden, vereinigen
sheet - das Blech
to slather - dick schmieren
to slide - schieben
