As a member of the lactose intolerance community, the pills inside this bottle are critical for making my love of cheese possible.
Funny enough, I carry two kinds of lactose pills around: these, which I buy in Germany, are nice because it carries a large number of doses in a relatively small package. The […]
In 2017, Germany celebrated Martin Luther and the 500th anniversary of the reformation.
I observed the celebration by going to Canada.
Before I left, I did buy Martin Luther as a cookie cutter – which is displayed on the shelf behind my couch. It has never been used for its designed purpose.
Even I, […]
Back in December 2018, I spent a week in Bogota, arriving on December 24th, departing on December 31st.
It was an extraordinarily nice, low key, vacation – including a graffiti tour on Christmas Day, a food tour, a post-conflict tour, and a trip out to view the countryside.
Really, it was generally fantastic.

Last September I spent a week in Quebec: I flew to Montreal, rented a car, slept off jetlag, then drove north – but while I tend to think of the vacation as being in Quebec, the fact remains that I spent my second night in Campbellton, New Brunswick.
Whilst there, I did a little […]

It was a treat – and the most expensive meal of my life up and to that point – for our travels.

Happily, six weeks into the crisis, I have not yet opened any single package of pasta – I have my original supply, including […]
I might note that the cream in the balls of the penis cake had a salty tang to it.
At the Shilin Night Market.

Sorry about my silence, but I was busy in Orlando, and then once I left Orlando I was incapacitated for a day or two: whilst in Bloomington I had my eyes examined and a tooth filled. Thankfully my Bloomington Dentist is totally awesome and very patient with my irrational behavior. Since getting back to Germany, […]
Welcome to Unst
Now that I’ve left the Shetland Islands, I have better Internet access, although, honestly, it was fine at our first port-of-call, Baltasound. I was just too busy to take the time to write anything – other than postcards.
Baltasound is a community on the island of Unst, the northern most occupied […]
A couple weeks ago, just before Easter, I took a long lunch and wandered by Berlin’s branch of Galeries Lafayette, the French department store. It’s actually quite convenient to my office and since I had forgotten to prepare a dish for a party I was attending, it’s basement boutique grocery store gave me the opportunity […]
