christmas pralines

I like to give away small presents to friends and colleagues every year before christmas. Nothing special or expensive, just a little gift. Last year it was selfmade hot chocolate, this year it is parlines or chocolate bonbon. It is only the second time I made parlines and I tried something new. Next to the […]

Stockholm Shopping

I always liked flea markets a lot. I liked to slowly walk through all the offers. Especially, the nonsense small things got my attention. I always find a small treasure, maybe something I didn’t need or wanted but when you see it you know: I will buy that. Perhaps that doesn’t fit with the idea […]

A lazy pasta recipe

Very often I am way too lazy to cook a big meal for myself and then I normally go for pasta. My favourites are Fusilli because they collect the sauce very nicely. Sometimes, I need new ideas but with this dish it always is different when you put something colourful on your plate. I fry […]

Bread II

I got the question, or more hint to continue writing on this series by friends. The reason which takes me that long is, that since I moved to Stockholm I do not have an oven anymore. And writing about baking bread and baking in general makes me sad because I cannot do it at the […]

Hair Part II

We already published one part on the topic of hair. Resi told her friends about her change in her hair routine and her success. Roxie’s hair doesn’t behave in the same way and it is actually very easy to handle. Hence we both use hair soap from Lush and other companies since a longer time […]

We heard and read about it: the possibility to wash your clothes with chestnuts. In autumn they are everywhere, some streets are covered in chestnuts, washing agent directly in front of your door step. We thought about it now long enough, it is time to give it a try: Best case scenario a very cheap […]

Night train to Abisko

I had my first “buisness trip” inside of Sweden: Abisko. A paradise for Hiking and to enjoy the tranquillity. The best way up in the North is the night train from Stockholm. 17 hours train ride through the beautiful country Sweden. I booked a bed in a 6-bed cabin and met unbelievable great and interesting […]

Sourdough can be of very different consistency and smell. Mistakes or doing something “wrong” is not really possible! Next to your […]

How to make rose hip jam?

If you’re living in Germany, you surely know rose hips. They grow at the roadsides, well, just everywhere where wild roses are growing. However, you can rarely see people picking these fruits for making jam. Actually, last year, an elder man stopped to tell us that he’s happy young people still know how to do […]

Bread I

Some years ago I got this idea to bake my own bread. I think a fellow student in the university started to bake her own. But not one of these simple breads with yeast, which you can easily bake with a bread machine. No. A real one. A German one. One with sourdough. The first […]
