Chocolate Withdrawal

March 26, 2008

We spent this weekend with my in-laws and I think I gained back all the weight I lost over the last 8 months.  My jeans were tight when we left and I spent today going through chocolate withdrawal.  In case you don’t have a German mother-in-law, visits to a GMIL could qualify as world class [...]

A Kaffee und Kuchen Extravaganza!

March 16, 2008

I made it, 5 out of 5 cakes completed, and only 1 hour after the party started! LOL! I had a blast and gotta thank Cliff and Sarah for the delicious selection of coffees and Hezamarie and Alex for the great espresso.  I think the cakes actually turned out pretty well this time around.  Except [...]

I am a glutton for punishment

March 15, 2008

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to invite half of Regensburg over tomorrow and bake cakes to feed them all.  I have now completed 3.9 out of 5 cakes.  I’m always disappointed in how they turn out.  I want them to look like the pictures in the recipe books, or [...]

November 25, 2007

There were several expat bloggers in attendance, all of [...]

Wissenshunger

October 12, 2007

Lately, I’ve taken to watching the German TV show Wissenshunger (Hunger for Knowledge), which is a show about all different kinds of food topics. Tonight, I learned about Bienenstich (Bee-sting) cake. It’s called Bienenstich because apparently some bakers in the 15th century were up early and a little more aware of what was going on [...]

A weekend of success

September 9, 2007

Friday night, Cliff and Sarah joined us for Thai dinner. I ended up not having the time to make anything but the Panang Beef beforehand, so they (and Rainer) were enlisted as my sous chefs when they arrived, and let me tell you, it’s nice to have sous chefs! Our meal consisted of the aforementioned [...]
