Tom Kha Gai and Son in Law Eggs

May 21, 2007

Saturday in our happy household was spent entertaining Rainer’s colleague Wolfram and his wife, Wibke.

One Night in Regensburg, Three Nights in Bonn

November 23, 2006

This last weekend I spent in Bonn, then we zipped down for a quick visit to Regensburg, then Tuesday night we returned to Potsdam. And I am just now recovered, well, almost. So my [...]

Beef with Brocolli Blues

November 9, 2006

Last night we ate at the usually pretty decent Asian Imbiss at Stern Center here in Potsdam, and I’ve been feeling pretty poorly since. I spent the night and much of this morning racked with a tummy ache and nausea. Rainer is sure that it is “morning” sickness and that I am pregnant. My response: [...]
