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

So guys, remember when I asked you the other day for ideas because I was stocking up on recipes to post while I’m on vacation? Well, here I am, 4000 miles later in the USA, with a bunch of awesome things lined up to show you in the next few weeks. I think this post … Read more

Actually though, I wasn’t such a … Read more
I realize I haven’t given you much of a taste of German cuisine while I’ve lived here in Berlin. That is about to change. As you probably have heard me complaining about before, the winters here are rough. No, it’s not the low temperatures or crazy blizzards. Those would be quite welcome on a rainy, … Read more
