Fourth week of McDonalds "mein Burger". This week we have the first (and only) chicken sandwich. It has the inspeakable name "Crockstahzumjot". What the fuck is up with that name? Seriously? Why not call it "Fotzenstrudel" or "Fifeifobananaramafone"? Jeez...
Place was, as always, the Mc Donalds at the Total petrol station at the corner Eckenheimer/Adickesallee. Time was ca. 16:50 on Sunday, Maythe 20th, 2012.


First impression:
Looks all neat and dandy. The sanwich is a large ciabatta bun witthsmoked black forest ham, breadned chicken filet, mozarella cheese, tomatos, rocket salad, smokey tomato sauce and sour cream sauce.The smell of the ham is interestingly strong.

First biteTasty and hearty. the socalled smokey tomato sauce is spicy and jummy. I like the idea with the black forest ham. All in all the taste is very well balanced.
My result:
Crockstahzumjot: 8.5 of 10. Despite of the retarded name a very good sandwich. Some nice ideas in it, but its not really unusual.

Its a Samsung Galaxy Ace. Amazing smartphone. Now I know why they call the Galaxy series the "Iphone killer".

Third one from this years "Mein burger" campaign at McDonalds. This weeks burger is the McPanther, fun fact about it, it was designed by Duanne Moser, manager of the Augsburg Panthers, a second division ice hockey team. It was designed to represent the ream colours red, white and green. Place was as usual the McDonalds in the Total petrol station at the corner Eckenheimer/Adickes. Time was ca.15:50 on Sunday, May the 13th 2012.


First impression: Its a nice big burger, a bit lopsided thou. Its a beef patty with bacon, mozarella cheese, rocket salad, tomatos, red onions and smokey tomato sauce on a cheese baked roll. For some odd reason the burger smells like a fresh pizza from a pizzaria. Weird.

First bite: The burger has a nice spicy taste. I like the bacon, the onions and the mozarella. Not a fan of the rocket salad which is alsways a little to bitter for my taste.Really offsetting was that the burger was a bit cold and stale, really a big nono.
My result:
McPanther: 7.8 of 10. The premise is nice, large spicy burger with mozarella and bacon. I probably would have given it a better grade if it would have been fresh and hot.

Seems that I will keep my job at the bank a little longer! My tem boss recommendet me to a colleage for her team, and they took me. First for three month over temp work, with the option of taking me over after that. Now thats a fucking huge chance here. If I play things right and don´t fuck up, I could keep this job untill retirement (still 35 years to that). I work for one of the biggest banks in Germany, one ogf the boggest banks in the EU, that is, a company with a 140 year history, literally too big to fail, and the best part, I don´t work in their gleaming twin tower company HQ downtown, at the center of attention, but in a rather grimey 20-floor office block in a suburban commercial area, a place were you can spend your professional life unnoticed and wellpaid and without haveing to wear a tie (normally). Yep, lifes good, sometimes.

(No more second league, no more, no more!)
Just returned from the celebration of the ascend of Eintracht frankfurt to the german premier league on the Römerberg (city hall plaza). It was glorious! I could bite my arse that I forgot my camera. It was a huge party despite the rain.
Madness when the team came onto the balcony of the city hall.

Team and fans sing the club anthem.
Flags, chants, pyrotechnics and smokebombs gave the Römerberg an awesome stadium atmosphere.
Forza SGE!
Next season we will face Bayern, Schalke and Borussia!

New WFFR?
New WFFR.
Tonights candidate is the McHaudegen, the second burger of this years "Mein Burger" campaign by Mc Donalds. Place was as usual the McDonalds in the Total petrol station at the corner Eckenheimer/adickes in Frankfurt. Time was ca21:40 h on Friday, May the 4th 2012.


First impression:
Looks solid. The burger contains three (!!!) beef patties, cheddar, bacon, mixed salad with honeymustard sauce AND BBQ-sauce in a sesame bun. Thats beef galore with bacon, I like where this is heading to..

First bite:
SO MEATY!!!!
You really have a mouth full of beef. Unfortunatly because of that you barely notice the cheese and the bacon. The mixed salad is a nice touch. The carrot pieces in it give the burger some crisp. I´m not too keen about the odd combinatoion of sauces thou.
My result:
McHaudegen: 8 of 10. I absolutely love the beefyness of it, but the mass of beef makes it a little unbalanced, since the other ingrediences have a hard time to stand out. Combining honey mustard AND Barbeque sauce on the same burger is a bit of a daft idea.

My current job is extendet for another week. Well, that better than nothing...

Wow, today its two years that I took this apartment. On May 2nd 2010 I took the keys from the previous tennant (who still has some of his crap in my basement room...).
In other news, for my nice report on their shop, I got a free donut today from the nice blokes at Tasty Donuts. Who said blogging doesn´t pay off?

Labour day edition!
Mc Donalds has a new "Mein Burger" campaign, you remember, the campaing where people can suggest burger recipes they created, and people can vote for them online. TodayI review the first one of this years winners, the Lauginator.
Place was the McDonalds in the Total Station at the corner Eckenheimer Landstraße and Adickesallee. Time was ca. 16:40 h on May 1th 2012.


Ah, pretty as a picture! The burger has a lye roll (unusual, a lye roll is something very german) and contains a beef patti, cooked ham (!), Cheddar, italian hardcheese, batavia salad, red onions (yum!) and sourcream sauce. Looks like painted in that box, loveley.

First bite:
Thats funny, the beef patty aside it tastes like a lyeroll sandwich from a good bakery, probably because of the ham, the cheese and the salad. The italian hard cheese and the red onions give it a nice spicyness. I like it!
My result:
Lauginator: 8.5 of 10. Experimental but tasty! Better than you would expect.

Hurm.
Got my dismissal today. The assignemt at the bank will end at the end of this week and my temp work agency has no new assigment for me at the moment so they terminated my employment to May 31th. This termination will be nullified if they get a new assigment in that time.
Lets hope for the best
