Frozen Leaf
It is getting cold here in Berlin. I am really hoping for some snow this winter (actually, lots of it).
Windows
Looking through a window into another window into another window into…
Selca Café
A new coffee spot opened up in our neighborhood: Selca Café. I tried their Oreo cake and the matcha – both very good! They also offer onigiri and miso soup, which I am looking forward to trying next time.
Halloween Candy
I was ready and fully prepared for Halloween – but nobody showed up at our door! More candy for me?
Reflections
Baltic Sea reflections.
Meeresmuseum Stralsund
At Meeresmuseum Stralsund. This is the second big aquarium in Stralsund (the other one is located at the so called Ozeaneum) – quite remarkable for such a small city. Worth a visit!
Pure comfort
Easy, comfy – perfect for these early autumn days.
Meersburg
At Meersburg. Very touristy - but for a reason!
Apples
We spent the weekend with friends at Lake Constance, where apple harvest was in full swing. There were baskets of ripe apples everywhere - and just look at them! Aren’t those colors beautiful?
Mood
I feel like the little Chaozu (of Dragon Ball fame), drawn here at the edge of my notebook. Lots of things going on work-wise, but also, as a bonus, COVID is back at home – so, yeah, great...
Mappa Tofu
First time making Mappa Tofu. Wow! I never had anything with Sichuan Pepper before - the sensation it leaves in your mouth is WILD. Tingly, numb, … unlike anything I tasted before. Can’t wait to have it again!
Endless growth
This plant just keeps growing. I can basically watch it get taller and taller while I work.
School Kids
We celebrated the school enrollment of our daughter. We had incredible luck with the weather and could spend the day at the lake. It really amazes me that we somehow have two children in school already. Time truly flies.
Feierabend
Enjoying the evening with some manga. There’s supposed to be a Witch Hat anime coming out this year – the trailer looked great! – but I haven’t heard anything about it in a while. It’s September now… should I be worried?
Gimbap
First time trying to make Gimbap. Tasty! (But there is still lots of room to improve!)
