So, as you may already be aware if you follow me on Instagram, I made this cheesecake for a café here in Berlin last weekend. I was sort of excited about it (GAAAAAH!). Just a little. It was approximately 1 million degrees and humid outside that day, and the cheesecake, strawberries, and I were all sweating furiously as … Read more
I’ve been having kind of a hard time writing this post today. Samuel is home, which means that both of our productivity levels are suffering. It started out with Samuel reading his book about the science of bread while I uploaded the photos for this post. Innocent enough. But then Samuel started telling me about … Read more
I had been asking Samuel to rearrange our furniture in the living room for a while, ever since everything was pushed into the corners as it became a bedroom for our refugee friends for a few weeks. Being the busy man that he is, he simply hadn’t gotten around to moving everything back into place. … Read more

Well, here I am, still counting down the days until the due date (10 days!!!) and torturing myself with the thought every single day of “tonight could be the night!”. I’ll probably go two weeks past the due date now with my luck. Oh well, at least by then I might finally be resigned to … Read more
Life with a baby is going well. He’s still a perfect angel, hardly cries, sleeps like a charm, etc. Not to mention the fact that ever since he had his first bath, his hair is CURLY (most days). As for me, not only have I gotten back to baking, but I already have gotten back … Read more

Actually though, I wasn’t such a … Read more
