We had the privilege and pleasure of being invited to visit friends in Karlsruhe on Saturday during a family wine making day. We weren't really sure what we were getting ourselves into but when we arrived, we found out it was us along with 3 generations of one family...
Vegetable soup with options
Prepare yourself for a long recipe here...but this is first a basic Hearty Vegetable soup that we canned and then a few variations which you can use when you open up a can of this goodness to eat it. This way you can eat the same soup over and over again without...
Yep, we’re gonna be needing one of those…
We decided to do some canning this weekend. Well, I made the decision and Stefan thankfully helped out along the way. During the process, one thing became extremely clear - we need an outdoor kitchen. We've been trying to decide what to do with the little covered...
That’s not shopping at all
After the visit to the doctor today, we ventured over to IKEA (yes, twice in one week which is scary to us too) and thought we were going to pick up the DVD shelves and chest of drawers from IKEA. We noticed that everything was about to go up in price with the new...
A little begonia love
We were out for a walk with Ayla today and as we passed by one house, I saw the man of the house vacuuming his begonias in his garage. He had taken the plant with its hanging basket to a bench where he sat it down to vacuum it. What he was vacuuming up I can't say....
So hard to say “I’m sorry”
We took a trip to IKEA today. It wasn't so bad. The store was fairly empty and we got some really good ideas for the house. We have quite a few rooms that will be getting a makeover, mostly because we have to make some space for Mackenzie. Her room (currently our...
Plum 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...
The wedding gift that keeps on giving
Acquaintances of ours are getting married in the next two weeks and we're preparing to go to a pre-wedding party over the weekend for them. About two months ago, we received an email from a friend of theirs who had decided to put together a really thoughtful gift: she...
Back to the usual
Yesterday was pretty quiet for us. We did a couple smallish things around here but not really anything worth noting. Mostly we worked on internet stuff and watched lots of Olympics coverage (thanks to our hard disk recorder since everything good comes on at 2am here.)...
Hay Girl, Hay!
We're no stranger to having random people drop by, asking if we still rent trained doves to fly at weddings and events (and no, we do not.) But earlier this week, a woman stopped in and asked if we were selling hay. For her guinea pig, of course. I have to say the...
