Oliver update

December 3, 2007

Well, he’s almost four and a half months old now, and he’s started on solids.  The crazy little guy was trying to grab fistfuls of mama and papa food and stuff them in his mouth, so I went ahead and started him on rice cereal.  I thought it would be hard, with him spitting out [...]

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 [...]

Who’s your momma?

May 7, 2007

Mother’s Day is fast approaching (it’s this Sunday, May 13th, in the US, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland; my Brit readers celebrated -or didn’t- back on March 18). I find it interesting that there isn’t a backlash towards Mother’s Day as there is towards Valentine’s Day, although I find that both are very commercialized and in [...]

Party time, excellent!

March 10, 2007

Yesterday, Rainer’s group had it’s welcome party in the Institute and everyone from his group brought some dishes to serve (yes, I’ve been mostly up and about since Thursday evening, and now Rainer has the killer cold).
