{Autumn & Baking} Crunchy Tarte Tatin with pumpkin, braised red onions and goat's cheese

D winter is coming. We clean up. And that felt for 997 days. In fact, it's been barely three weeks since the nuclear family has taken a heart and - all for one, one for all - has made the great sacred cleanup oath. The apartment Tetris should finally have an end and it would be quite nice, you could also open a closet door, without an alpine dizzy avalanche descending on you. This sucks and nourishes and inhibits.

Who does all that stuff belong to? Not us! Two or three other nuclear families have to sneak in here secretly at night and dump their possessions with us. I'm sure. That's the way it has to be. We're not to blame.

But if we can not get a grip on the condition now, then Tine Wittler will soon come to us with her controlled-worrying mine. And the off-spokesman says in reproach-borne tone "In this terrible chaos lived the nuclear family for many years. Only when the Playmobil railroad broke through the floor to its neighbors due to its mass, the 39-year-old advertiser and the very handsome journalist and author knew that something had to happen here. "

" What better should, must first get worse, "said just this good-looking man and heaves another huge plastic-order container from the Swedish furniture store on the top of some junk mountain. "Samla, please save us!", I pray secretly, while my foot wedges between two huge blue Sweden bags with stuffed animals.

On the horizon slowly appears a narrow red sunrise strip. It is land in sight. So to speak. Oxfam has already looked forward to five blue bags of children's clothes. And an army of nameless stuffed animals in bags will follow. The Playmobil including the Noah's Ark, catamaran, ocean-going yacht, original size knight's castle and 37.8 kilometers of plastic freight train network (at least!) Will come to the SOS Children's Village - we just have to organize a semi-trailer for that.

Half of my kitchen belt has landed in the "to-give corner" of our house. May other people with 1.784 white bowls and 3 dozen whisk be very happy - in my kitchen is now individual attitude.

Oh yes: Yesterday I also gave away my sideboard. As the two guys down the stairs, the 2-meter monster, I was sentimental shortly. The designer particle I had bought on a trip to Holland from my first real salary. Together with my oldest friend Vivi. But a nuclear family needs more freedom. And storage space. And best a 4-room apartment. In the usual quarter. You know what it's like.

The really annoying thing about tidying up is not the current tornado-like layout of our entire property. The really terrible thing is: I'm not coming to a boil. We shimmy through the evenings with fast-stirred vegetable pans and food bags from the Thai. Clean up or cook - there are currently no two opinions. But cooking has such a calming and purifying effect on my poor little battered soul.

That's why I sneaked into the kitchen on Saturday and did something for my nerves. With my two kitchen buddies puff pastry and hokkaido pumpkin under my arm. The two are as uncomplicated as easy to maintain and just do it all. Puff pastry is quite demanding in the production, so you do not have to do it yourself (even as a food blogger) and can drag the role out of the cold shelf home. Large! And with the Hokkaido, which not only has a wonderful color, but also can not be peeled and must be cooked only briefly, you have something right and good in the gut.- you already have a delicious pumpkin tart Tatin. It makes a lot of difference visually and tastes and is a balm for nerves and soul.
