I love daytrips. Getting into your car and driving for an hour or two and to find yourself in completely new surroundings is a perfect way to spend a Saturday. It’s been awhile since we have taken in a daytrip, and since we have lived in this area of Germany for almost a year, I … Continue reading Meeting Wismar

Spring is in the Air
Upon our arrival for soccer practice, the door to the gym was locked and not a soul in sight. So, with there clearly being no practice, and it also being 15 degrees and sunny out, I decided Little T and I should walk down the street and check-out the local ice-cream shop. The patio was … Continue reading Spring is in the Air
Sweet Potato Fries
For supper tonight, I decided to give Sweet Potato French Fries a try as a side along with our sausages. A few weeks ago, I saw this lonely sweet potato in our drawer, and decided to chop it up and throw it in with the roast chicken. Delish! It had been awhile since I had … Continue reading Sweet Potato Fries
Sometimes life’s lessons cost a mixer
Little T’s class celebrated Carnival last week, and the teacher had sent home a note asking each child to bring something to share for a breakfast buffet. Not having a clue what to make (I prefer the letters that say “bring cut up peppers”) I thought about slapping together some buns with butter and salami. … Continue reading Sometimes life’s lessons cost a mixer
Let’s talk about Food
I have a choice this morning. Either work on Hubby’s 2010 taxes or write about food. Screw the taxes. I’ve been thinking this week about how much I love food, but rarely write about the meals I love to eat. So I decided to try to write more about the food I enjoy and maybe … Continue reading Let’s talk about Food
The right way and the French way
My travelling Hubby had to be away on business for another week stretch. But, since this time he was only travelling 3 hours away to France, he suggest that Little T and I join him. It took me 2 seconds to decide to tag along to la belle France. I have come to the realization … Continue reading The right way and the French way
Zeit für Spargel! (Asparagus time!)
Today, Little T is looking forward to buying a new toy after breakfast with his pocket money. Me? I’m looking forward to buying asparagus at the market as the season is FINALLY here (after a few weeks of delay thanks to a cold, snowy winter). I wonder if it is a sign of aging when … Continue reading Zeit für Spargel! (Asparagus time!)
Spielen
Pronounced shhpealin, spielen means “to play” in German. And spielen is what kids love to do here. In fact, the playdates and what is expected of them are quite amazing. Especially when you aren’t hosting them. When we moved to a different village, I vowed to help Little T make more friends. This goal actually turned … Continue reading Spielen
Feeding the soul
I love to eat. After every meal, I look forward to the next one. Breakfast, lunch and dinner – to me, mealtime is important not only to refuel the body but also the soul. Hubby and I have enjoyed meals together pretty much from the first few months we started dating. I was very fortunate, … Continue reading Feeding the soul
