Excited about Bio
No, I don’t suddenly have a passion for Biology. The Bio I am excited for is all about food (surprise!), which is the name given here in Germany for organic food.

And … Continue reading Make it a Guten Morgen

If the plate does not have pasta, pizza, tacos, pancake, egg, sausage, schnitzel, mashed potatoes, or escargot, … Continue reading Thai chicken soup to feed the soul

It was Friday night, and I had an hour all by myself before I was expected at a friend’s ladies gathering. So, I decided to take myself out to dinner. Hubby was taking Little T to his baseball game, so they were going to drop me off first at the restaurant. On the way there, … Continue reading Table for One
