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

Dream a little dream

December 11, 2006

10 days and counting till the kitchen comes and I am getting desperate. I even dreamed of pancakes last night. I was in a restaurant and everyone was eating pancakes but the waitress brought me this weird wrap thing and I said, “No, I want pancakes,” but she had disappeared and I couldn’t locate any [...]

The Ghost of Halloween’s Past

October 31, 2006

Officially in Germany, today is Reformation Day (as in Martin Luther), but for me it’s good ole Halloween. I was all prepared. I had a nice carved pumpkin and a boatload of goodies, and not one trick-or-treater stopped by. This was not for lack of trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood, I took Charlie out at one [...]
