Hello friends!! Wow, have I got some exciting stuff to share with you today! Last week, we took a little vacation and even though it's pretty warm at home...where we went there was SNOW! And lots of it. I could hardly even believe my eyes. And we didn't even have to...
Schweinebraten — An authentic Bavarian pork roast
Before everyone in the house caught colds, we had a visit from Steffi and Steffen — some of our friends from Bavaria. Somehow, we managed to convince Steffi (who is currently 6 months pregnant) that it would be the perfect weekend for her to make Schweinebraten for us...
Plug the TV back in — it’s time for the Winter Games
You may have heard about some of those "strange" people out there that have decided to unplug themselves from the world and disconnect their TV from the satellite cable. But in case you didn't know, we are indeed one of those "strange" families that doesn't have their...
The other, other ice cream
We're big fans of ice cream in this house. There is nothing quite like eating a fresh gelato from a street corner in Italy where you have 50 flavors to choose from. Unfortunately, we live in Germany and there is no ice cream stand in our little town. Not that it would...
How to make Wiener Schnitzel
Here in Germany, Stefan and I have judged many a restaurant based on their schnitzel. If they can’t make that well, then there’s no reason to bother with most of their other food either. Schnitzel can actually be prepared many different ways but Wiener is the basic...
An expat’s identity crisis
It all started with a simple email in my inbox: "Irregular Credit Card Activity." Great. Not because I was fearful that someone had gotten our information or anything like that. It was more an issue of life as an expat. You see, sometimes things are just not as easy...
Brunch is back in 2010!
The last four days have been wonderful. Stefan didn't have to work on December 31st or January 1st so we had a nice little 4 day weekend, with no long trips planned or visits from anyone scheduled. We got to sleep in until 9 or so and prepared big, yummy breakfasts...
Happy New Year
We just finished a nice family dinner of grilled cheese with tomato soup and watched a round of Dinner for One. It's a must watch on New Year's Eve here in Germany. It's funny year after year and you'll find it playing on at least one TV station every hour until...
A laundry excursion
Yesterday was a bit of an excursion for us. Our washer/dryer unit has been acting up in the last few weeks and after numerous cleanings of filters, drain pipes and more, it's still not completing a wash cycle. My guess is that the pump is out and I can only hope that...
A trip to the Frankfurt Christmas Market
Since the weather here has finally turned colder, we took the opportunity to finally go to the Christmas market in Frankfurt. We thought Mackenzie would enjoy the sights and sounds. But we didn't count on the ENTIRE city of Frankfurt being down there at the same time....
