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 [...]

AmiExpat’s going to Munich

February 25, 2008

…from March 9 to 13. Rainer’s got a conference, so drop me a line if you want to meet up.  I’m game for coffee and cake, or a tour of the city, or a great ethnic restaurant, or shopping for designah duds, or… whatever (well, not swinging – see below).  I would love if someone [...]

You’ll have to forgive my tardiness (well, I guess you don’t HAVE to, you can certainly hold it against me if you wish), I’ve been pretty exhausted the last week and I’ve also been working hard on several items for my [...]

Potsdam, oder eine schoenere Stadt findet man nicht!

September 8, 2006

at least for today… Freundschaftsinsel (Friendship Island) with Nikolaikirche (Nikolaus Church) in background My morning was spent waiting at the Auslaenderamt, where, with two minutes left till closing, they took my passport and told me to come back on Thursday to pick it up. I can’t be certain, but I think this is a good [...]

Phonebooths and horse cakes

July 2, 2006

So today we had a nice family walk in the Parforceheide, a very typical thing to do in Germany on a Sunday afternoon. Go to any park on a Sunday afternoon and you will find it full of Germans walking about or making bike tours. In the west it is also typical that after your [...]
