Is it spring yet? Geez I can’t take these gloomy doomy rainy Seattle days any longer – 9 months of winter is just TOO much! But since I am trying not to be such a complainer I have found a way to crack myself up every morning by feeding my dogs their vitamins (yep my dogs…
Look who I met in Vegas – Rocky and PeeWee photo bombed us. That’s Vegas! Its nice to be back home – One week of Vegas took a toll on me. No matter how hard I tried, there just was no way to get to bed prior to midnight, not even on a business trip, or maybe just…
With not much time to spare – I still have to pack my suitcase for a week of business meetings in Las Vegas and Dallas – I am in need of another fast but delicious dinner – Spaghetti Bolognese comes to mind. This is another one of my mums recipes, she very much cooks “Hausmannskost”…
Time flies when you are having fun – that for sure is true for our annual girls weekend! One week already passed when Christy, Tami, Tina and I started our 3,5 hour road trip down to the Long Beach Peninsula. Now I am sitting at my desk at home and instead of going to work out – which I…

Monday night was dedicated to planning out the menu and logistics for our yearly girls weekend which this year will take place in Long Beach, WA. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it…Croque monsieur,…
I love bread, almost as much as I love chocolate. I don’t know why I haven’t baked bread sooner, but now that I am somewhat serious about actually cooking/baking all the recipes I have collected over my entire lifetime, I wanted to give the bread baking a try, especially since I wanted to make my…
Ah – Valentines Day – my friend Beatrice just asked me about my Valentines Plan. I told her I have none and that I am not a big fan of this day. According to the commercials that are running 24/7 the week of Valentines Day the humble ones under us desire overpriced roses and really bad…
What a week! The Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos, 43-8, on Sunday to win their first National Football League championship in franchise history- and entire Seattle was in Seahawks trance. This must have been the least productive week in Seattle’s history. On Monday everybody was hung over from the Sunday celebration (including myself), on Tuesday the…
