A few years ago one of my friends gave me these cowboy potholders as a (I believe) birthday present. I love them – and they stay on my kitchen wall having never been used for their nominal intended use. Instead they are beefcake I admire during pauses in cooking – a whimsical take on […] When my Father died in 2011, my Mother felt that it was important that I had a few things of his to call my own – Things that he held near and dear to his heart. This is one of those things, a painting of San Pascula, the patron saint of cooking. San Pascula […] This is my second German spatula and it proves that strategically spending more money can sometimes pay off. The first spatula started melting – never a good sign – back in Weimar, back when I had limited funds. I complained about it to a friend who then promptly guided me to a shop on […] Tuesday was not a productive day at work: I’d baked two batches of Butterscotch Cookies and brought them to the office with me in order to celebrate my birthday. As somebody who’s worked with a surprisingly large number of colleagues, the German tradition of bringing sweets to the office to celebrate your own birthday is […] After spending the Tag der Deutschen Einheit, a day off, getting stuff done—I’m happy to report that I’ve also spent my Saturday getting stuff done.

My original plan post-work plan was to go shopping and pick up some goods for my upcoming trip, then hit up a grocery store, and then make my way home. But […] It’s funny how sometimes your body knows that something is wrong—like mine last night. After eating an early dinner (following a late breakfast), which consisted of an artichoke, some instant mashed potatoes, and a serving of fruit sorbet, my body said, “Time to go to bed!” So I went – deciding along the way to […] Don’t you wish I was coming over to your place tomorrow night for dinner?
Found at my neighborhood Edeka. I have two questions about things I want to, or need to, buy in the next week or two. First, my brother has asked if I have a Crock Pot. I don’t. However I’m willing to invest in one provided it’s not too expensive and it comes with recommendations. Do any of my German/European readers […] |
