Still feelin' shitty from the cold, but hey, nevertheless we took a walk in a beautiful Rokoko-garden near our small village, called Schloss Wilhelmsthal. The castle was build in 1712 and it's one of germanys most beautiful castles:

Meanwhile it's real autumn in germany:

Time for good boots!

Not in a really good mood today...

Yeah, female stimuli masked in pseudo-religious art

I really like this pic...

...and the view.

Moar rokoko...

...and a bit moar Engineers. The fit of the jean postsoak is real close to my LVC 55's, Pike Brothers did a good job creating their own version of a fifties jean. The Engineer's are still bleeding much and they're a lot more comfy now. Nice.

he revealed himself!!!

nice update, thx!

[ranonranonarat]

great pics house! and i agree those boots look great!

[Atzec]

nice update/fit!

[dr.house]

Awright, Engineer Crew (if there's someone left), let's do some cooking. Today I was in the mood for something italian (Ale, do you follow the tour?), so let's go for greaaaaat

Canelloni Bolognese

For 2 persons you need:

Olive Oil

3 or 4 Garlic gloves

1 Onion

1/2 pound minced pork

Peeled Tomatoes (one tin)

1 Carot

Cream

Precooked Canelloni

Use good products!

Here are the basics. Note:

Extra virgin olive oil contains low doses of a natural non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor, called oleocanthal, which has a comparable to ibuprofen anti-inflammatory effect.

Cut the garlic into thin pieces and the onion in lil' cubes. While you're working on that, heat up a good amout (I guess 5 or 6 soup spoons, I do it always by feeling) of the olive oil in a pot for the sauce.

Drop the garlic in the hot oil. It is pretty important to deep-fry the garlic, but be careful: it's perfect when it gets an amber-like colour, anything more turns the garlic into waste...:roll: Always stir up.

Note:

It could be assumed that the garlic ingredients reduce blood fat levels and therefore act preventively against atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels.

Now we put the meat and the onion in the pot. Stir it all good up til the meat gets chunky. Give a lot of heat for at least 4-5 minutes.

Now we've got time to peel the carot into lil' stripes.

Note: the carotene content on carots (mainly α-and β-carotene) is the highest among all kinds of vegetables.

Put the carot stripes in the pot and let the whole thing cook for another few minutes.

Oro di parma, the best peeled tomatoes I know- btw. do you guys know that peeled tomatoes got a lot more vitamines than fresh tomatoes? Stir them in...

Give a bit cream to the sauce and spice it up with a bit of oregano, basilikum, salt, pepper and, yeah!, sugar (that gives the kick on the tomatoes!).

Let it cook at small heat for 3 Minutes.

Put a bit of the sauce on the bottom of a casserole. Now fill the canelloni with the sauce (works best with a little spoon)...

[dr.house]

...after that we spill the rest above the canelloni. I wasn't in the mood for cheese, so that's all. Uh, I added the rest of the cream for my belly :-)

Give'em for 30 minutes in the oven.

Well done. Buon appetito! :-P

They're more comfy, no significant fades and the hole stays the same

[beatle]

Thanks for the goodies, Pikebrothers & Co

[Max Power]

Thanks to Pikebrothers and obbigood in advance!

[dr.house]

Today was a very special day- the 1st birthday of my beloved daughter. One year has gone so fast, unbelieveable. But hey, time to:

My wife loves all the winnieh the pooh shit and decoration is her part.

Nele really likes her new rockin' horse...

...and the special, missus-made baby muffins (sugarfree but tasty).

She also likes to rock her Nudies.

Nice!

No public viewing of our guests, sorry.

After a few hours with coffee, cakes and guests the work began for me:

Poor attempt of a self-timer pic...

...one of my ass, photographed by the missus again

and one of myself getting totally f.cked off from the housework (censored).

But the fit of the Pikes is real nice postsoak imo.

So goodnight to you all, I hope the next update is about the leather goods and a bit more denim related.

[Atzec]

THANKS!

[mpcec]

Man this tour is awesome, great updates dr. house! Also those dog tags are so fucking cool haha

[Max Power]

^Yes, but it's the time you wish you had chosen another Username ;-)

I'll put up some fitpics on saturday or sunday when I get home.

Oh, and nice fit there, doc!

[Max Power]

I wanna say a big THANK YOU to Pike Brothers and Rafael. Got my package today and I must say, I like the fit on this shirt, glad that I got L instead of M.

Now I wann get these jawns :-D

A little Extra for me:

[dr.house]

So here we go:

Got sewing skills?

See what the problem is?

Macro of the right back pocket...

All right. Where do you guys want the leather patch? The extra belt loops are a bit of a problem if we put it on the left side, let me know! And do we mark our locations on the patch? Which way?

[beatle]

woah - giant patch...Thanks to James for delivering - twice...

Are you gonna sew the patch on, Doc ?

[dr.house]

I promise to give you guys a fat sightseeing tour on my second leg next year!

The Engineers are drying in our washroom yet and waiting to be send to Atzec.

Maybe the last warm day in this year.
