I’m on the verge of leaving Berlin for a few weeks: off to America for a trip that is partially “vacation” (although given the state of my Father’s heath, I’m not sure that part of the trip is vacation) and partially work. There’s actually a good balance of things: Denver for family, Fargo for friends, […]
Final product shared with Snooker in Berlin whilst enjoying Love Actually. After one of my colleagues did me a favor, I offered to bring her a bottle of wine, or something. She rejected my offer and said, “I want Christmas cookies!” So I thought, “sure, why not?” I was going to make cutout cookies, but given how much work I’ve had to accomplish this weekend, I […] As an American, one of the harder things to wrap my head around is the fact that most apartments in Germany (or shall I say, my part of Germany) do not come with kitchens – so when I was apartment hunting a year ago, I quickly learned that “EBK” next to an apartment meant […] Today is the first day that I haven’t worked on some aspect of work in a long time.

I’m lucky enough to call Jen a friend and I’ve known her a long time – and I am a regular reader of her blog, That Pain in the Ass Vegan. Jen is, in a word, amazing, […] Everything pictured is not in the recipe. Rarely do I like to do all the things that the cool kids are doing—instead I strike out on my own. I’ve even extended that to include my blog—its been eons since I last participated in a e-group thing like National Blog Everyday Even If You Have […] Yesterday my American-German PseudoWife came and spent the night at my apartment.
