Written out, our Thanksgiving menu always looks like so little. But it has fed 8 adults and a couple of kids with plenty left over, and nobody has ever left our table hungry. These are the classics my family still asks for every single year: simple, mostly make-ahead,...

EntertainingBest turkey brine ever
Last year, I tried something new: brining a turkey. It’s a simple process, where you let the bird soak for 24-48 hours in a bath of spices. It will leave your turkey so moist and tender, it may end up completely falling off the bone when you go to carve it. The...
House & HomeBecause every room in the house needs a computer
Here's a fact that most people may not know about us: my husband and I are geeks...or at the very least dorks. He can build computers, I program websites (he used to as well), we're tech and gadget junkies. Yep, I would say that makes us pretty dorky in the eyes of...
GardenLeave no seed behind!
I made the journey into our garden today and was relieved that I didn't want to run screaming from it as soon as I opened the back door of the barn. Unfortunately (and sometimes fortunately), we cannot see our garden from the main house...only when we walk through the...
DIYWalking through the past – HessenPark
Having guests in town is always a good reason to drag everyone out of the house on a sunny day and go do something incredibly touristy. We thought about making them do some work around here...but the weather was just too nice so we bundled ourselves up a bit (it was...
DessertsPlum Clafouti a.k.a. Plum Bread Pudding
So we got about 1 pound, maybe 2, of plums from a neighbor earlier this week and I am finally doing something with them today. Been working on other things the rest of the week but it’s time to process these suckers before we go away for 3.5 days to Stefan’s parents...
FoodThe moistest zucchini bread ever
When the zucchini bread really begins to pile up, this is a great way to get rid of it. Plus, you can also grate a bunch of zucchini bread at once (preferably with a food processor), bag it in 2 cup portions and then have zucchini ready for baking and cooking with all...
EntertainingGet the dog away from my children……
Thanksgiving is more than a week behind us now, but this is something that we just need to post about! Better late than never. We had a big Thanksgiving feast at our house last Saturday (Thanksgiving isn't a holiday here in Germany, so people have to work) with 10...
EntertainingOur lantern festival – Sunday night
Because of our housewarming party, we didn't get to attend the festival on Saturday night. Some of our guests did go down to see the parade pass through though, which actually lasted about 2 hours and featured 25 organizations and 7 marching bands. The all came back...
EntertainingThat’s a lot of chili
With just over a week to go to our housewarming party, I am now in full speed ahead mode to get things accomplished around here. This morning I replanted our fig tree so that it has some space to grow finally and will retain a bit of water. I've moved it into the...
