So, yeah, being back in Berlin was interesting. Not only because of family related issues, but also being back in Germany and getting re-adjusted, if only for three weeks, to the way…

So it’s a new year. They really go by faster and faster. It’s really a mixed blessing to have friends who have children, because seeing them grow up so fucking…

We went to Bavaria for a couple of days to visit my aunt and uncle. I took some pictures. (I’ve been playing around with WordPress.com’s gallery settings, but the set is also on flickr)

Hope you are making it alive and well through the holidays.

Max & Moritz →
One of the best restaurants I know in Berlin.
That is, if you are into altberliner Küche.

Visiting Germany →
So, yeah, it’s odd being back here. The very first thing that struck me was that everybody seems to be in a horrible mood. People on the streets, waitresses, cashiers — no smiles, no frown…

As you know I got an iPod Touch a couple of weeks ago and I’m really digging it. Not only do I listen to a lot of podcasts on my way to work, in the car, etc., so it’s good for that, but…

For the last four or five years we’ve driven up to New Hampshire for Thanksgiving every year to visit family. It’s always a nice trip, not only because it’s great to get away from this…
Eating like a King at the Inn at the Crossroads →
As you know, all my free time (well, almost all of it) is tied up into reading George R.R. Martin’s Song of Fire and Ice. Now the experience can be even more total, with the recipes from the Inn…
I like Jamie Oliver →
I’m serious. I’ve never been one to eat a lot of processed food, but I’ve become even more adamant about this since I moved to the USA. In Germany, I also cooked,…
Bow to the king! →

I’m really happy with how this turned out.
Definitely going to do this again.

Now, I don’t have 12 bottles, but I have…

Paleo Shmaleo →
Every year it’s another fad, but the Paleo thing keeps popping up. You know, in some ways it does make sense to cut down on carbohydrates, if not avoid them altogether. I haven’t read that Paleo…

This is some pretty neat stuff from a band called White Horse, sampling the voices of dead people. Dark and Cozy.

Update on the beer thing →
I added the last packet of hops to the secondary fermenter last weekend. The beer looks and smells like beer and it doesn’t seem to have spoiled, at least as far as I can tell. There are some specks…

No subsistence gardening around these parts. →
It looks like it’s going to be a while until the Grumpy Family can go off the grid in good conscience.

I finally got around to visit one of the German-American Societies in the area.
For an Oktoberfest.
