Christina’s Rockin’ Lentil Stew

August 16, 2007

In looking for healthy, hearty, easy to make recipes, I came across a Curried Red Lentil and Swiss Chard Stew With Garbanzo Beans recipe. I had to make some adjustments: no chard available, Rainer requires meat in his meals – hence the sausage, and we both dig garlic and I thought it should be in [...]

August 9, 2007

Things are going well here. Rainer started back to work on Monday, so I’ve been pretty frazzled trying to get everything done that must get done (my priorities: 1 – care for baby, 2 – sleep, 3 – feed self, 4 – attend to personal hygiene, 5 – everything else). All in all, I’m handling [...]

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.

Danke danke danke!

November 25, 2006

So our one-day-late Thanksgiving/Going-Away Party went off without a hitch. Although I was just about exhausted from all the cooking by the time the first guests arrived (20 minutes early, that’s Prussian timeliness for you). Charlie actually behaved himself, in fact, I believe he very much enjoyed being the center of attention (btw, Charlie’s my [...]
