There are few things I dislike more than sitting around, waiting for someone to show up and having no idea when and if he actually will. When I last talked about our washer/dryer machine that which is the fritz, I mentioned that the service guy who came out didn't...
Vegetable Soup Like Mom Makes
When I went grocery shopping the other day, I decided to pick out one new recipe to try over the next week or so. I’ve been saying I would do this for months, if not years now, but just never really got around to trying anything I found around the Internet. So perhaps...
Update on our washer/dryer
The repairman was here at about 11am to check out the washer/dryer we have. He showed me that it was the carbon brushes inside the motor that were causing the trouble and informed me that it would be just under 200 euros to make the repair. Since buying a new machine...
No good for home appliances
Last year we had to buy a new fridge because the small one we moved here with died on us. Not that we were too upset about it. We were looking for an excuse to buy a side-by-side anyway...but now our washing/drying machine from Siemens has encountered a problem. It's...
Spicy Cajun seafood pasta
Last night we tried out a new recipe. We had a couple of friends over for my birthday and thought it would be nice to do some kind of seafood pasta. We found this one on allrecipes.com and really loved it. It packs quite a punch but the dish is just fantastic. Next...
Pinch hitting with buttermilk substitutes
Last night I planned for us to have tacos for dinner. We have an awesome recipe from a Harley Davidson biker cookbook which never fails to satisfy the largest of hungers. And the next day any leftovers make a really great taco salad. I was at the grocery story...
Sweeter than Yoohoo 🙂
When Stefan got home last night, he managed to get the screws into the door to hold the handles in place so the fridge is more or less complete. Unfortunately we don't have the correct adapter for the water connection so we will have to wait a few more days because we...
New fridge is here!
Today was almost like Christmas when the new fridge arrived. First I received the disposable cameras we ordered for the housewarming party in the mail which was already a nice surprise. Of course I knew the refrigerator was being delivered today but had no idea when...
The new fridge is coming
Sometime during the day tomorrow, our new refrigerator will be arriving. We found a side-by-side we like for less than €1,000 which was generally our goal. As it turns out, it's the cheapest and pretty much the one we liked the most anyway so we're quite pleased. I...
Party planning & our food line-up
We've mentioned several times that we will be having a relatively large housewarming party which has had us a bit concerned and almost overwhelmed at times...but we are slowly but surely figuring it all out. Last Thursday we finally sat down and mapped out what we...
