I love the Pumpkin Snaps, I can leave the Pumpkin Spice Popcorn. I’ll try the pasta sauce tonight If I weren’t lactose intolerant. Yesterday I popped into a Spouts Market – an American Organic Supermarket chain that is challenging Whole Foods by being affordable. What immediately caught my eye is the appearance of […] This year is an “Adam—allein zu Haus” kind of Christmas. Translated in to English, that’s “Adam, alone at home”, a variation on the “Kevin—allein zu Haus” them that Americans know as “Home Alone”. My plan is to avoid shopping after Saturday until after the Christmas holidays. If I could actually swing it, I would avoid […] Living alone and without an auto I am responsible for buying and schlepping all of my food home. One of the worst things to schlep home is milk – and so I tend to not want to bring it home. And I eagerly forget to put it in the shopping cart because I don’t want […] Some how I survived the week that was – albeit, barely. And, I must confess, that I missed the birthday party. By Friday afternoon, I was plum exhausted and made my way to find the birthday colleague, to whom I simultaneously congratulated and gave my regrets.

There’s actually a good balance of things: Denver for family, Fargo for friends, […] …but what does it really mean? I wanted to get a gift for a friend who lives in Munich—a quick consultation with the über-wise Headbang8 delivered the perfect solution: a gift certificate to Käfer, a high-end grocery store. Online I found a 50€ gift certificate, which then cost 5,90€ to get shipped to me. I expected an envelope—worst case scenario. It […] I owe a debt of gratitude to Yelli for the warning that Lidl’s American Week started today. I popped into my local Lidl to see what was on offer–and amazingly I could sort of see a connection for most items to America. Actually, I lie. Doritos, ok. Brownie, ok. Amerikaner, not really.
