Things are really piling up here in the AmiExpat household. I’ve got about 4 loads of laundry to do (I resorted to sticking Oliver in some of his next-size-up clothing for playgroup today since all his current-size stuff is in the hamper) plus I gotta proofread an article for a close to my heart German scientist, and I somehow need to Ready, Set, Cook lunch today, cause we really don’t have a fridge full of stuff that easily lends itself to coming up with something to make. And despite my workload, where am I? I’m online messing around.
I recently added a fabulous oatmeal cookie recipe to the site. When adding recipes, I will now focus on making metric conversion easy for you guys, and I will also post the recipes in German. My first Rezept auf Deutsch is Fabelhafte Dinkelflockenkekse mit Rosinen, Datteln und Walnüsse. Time permitting, I will update all the other recipes to these standards.
Just a reminder, since I know a ton of expat bloggers were at the Whiney Expat Blogger Meet Up this weekend, about my Off the Beaten Path challenge. I’m thinking of making a logo to put on your posts that will link back to the main Off the Beaten Path travel guide page, but that of course, requires time.
Finally, I’m going to be updating my links in the semi-near future and want your help. If you could only read 3 blogs/sites about expats, Germany, Europe, or international affairs (trying to include all my reader’s here, I know some of you guys aren’t expats), which 3 would you choose (excluding my site too). I’m looking for links that would be of special interest to my readers, but I’m also interested in things I’d be interested to follow, so I want to see what you would follow. So let me know in the comments!

Okay, so it’s not really about expat life or international anything, but I *love* the site http://www.gofugyourself.com.
It’s mindless entertainment – mostly making fun of badly dressed celebrities … reminding me of the days when I’d hang with my girlfriends, watching beauty pagaents and make fun of all the contestents.
i recommend http://woophy.com . it’s a great flash-animated map of the world where you can upload high-quality fotos of how you see the world and rate others’ pictures. personally, i find this site much better than flickr.
I read this on a nearly daily basis:
seaton-newslinks. blogspot. com
- it’s from a long-time Ami-Expat who writes for a Spanish daily…he’s full of piss and vinegar and usually dead on with his political/economic predictions.
Just moved to the town of Lörrach in south west Germany. I really enjoy your site and have found it very helpful – my wife appreciates the recipes and metric conversions. We’ve only been here a week but are starting to document what we have learned (as so many expats clearly do!) at http://www.tapxe.com – not that it’s worth checking out every day yet.
