Vegan dessert? Vegan dessert!
I had to improvise a dessert last Saturday on relatively short notice and browsed through Mildreds Vegan Cookbook when my gaze fell upon a delicious looking Coconut-Passionfruit-Mousse Cake. Yummy. So, I decided to give it a go. I was extremely skeptical, having tried some vegan cakes/mousses in restaurants/cafes and never really like consistency and taste.…
Vegetarian Food in Portugal
The last few times I was in Portugal, it was quite challenging to find delicious vegetarian or vegan food. Granted, you will always get some kind of arroz com legumos or a really crappy pizza, that tastes absolutely bland, but at least fills your stomach. But it’s not tasty and is not really nice a…
Women’s Rugby World Cup Final
Congrats to the Black Ferns and kudos to both teams – what a match! Spectacular. Wish the men’s game was at the same level. One more thing – England have a hooker named Cokayne. That’s funny. 🙂 🙂 🙂
San Francisco, nice to see you again
Business brought me to San Francisco again, after 11 years. Glad to see that nothing has changed. Just kidding. First of all, impressive international terminal, they’ve really done a good job. Hats off to the selection of merchants (good chocolate, good coffee!) and the fantastic Polaris lounge. What a pleasant experience! 🙂 Also, extremely efficient…
Unesco World Heritage Steel Works Völklingen
Fantastic excursion to the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Völklingen Steel Works. Glad that these dirty machines ain’t running no more, though, but also a fascinating piece of very recent history.
Stralsund knows where it’s at
Stralsund, ich mag dich! Nette Stadt, nette Leute, schöne Gegend. 🙂 Entenhausen forever.
Fuck you, DHL
Mal eine kleine Dokumentation, was DHL immer so treibt. Das hier ist kein Einzelfall. Ich war zu Hause und hab gewartet … . Das Auto stand vor der Tür … . Der Fahrer hat um 15.59 Uhr einfach alle vier Sendungen für unser Haus als “nicht angetroffen” gescannt. Dann hat er für zwei Sendungen Klebezettel…
Finally, the bloody Queen is dead
Hooray. Although I sadly miss the days when heads were chopped off. They could at least guillotine Prince Andrew, methinks. Or make sure he doesn’t get near any of those Paddington bears people are leaving outside the palace … . Speaking of that – I thought there was such an economic crisis going on, how…
What is class war?
Es gibt ja viele Leute, die behaupten, dass es keinen Klassenkampf mehr gäbe. Oder auch nie gab. Irgendwie erinnern mich die immer an Leute, die rauchen. Egal. Jedenfalls gibt es gerade einen vortrefflichen Klassenkampf, nur die Parteien bzw. Frontlinien sind halt andere, nicht mehr so schematisch. Und die Exzesse in den letzten 20-30 Jahren immer…
Lufthansa – lying and cheating bastards, as usual
It’s no secret that I despise Lufthansa. They are the scum of the Earth. Yesterday, they pulled off another masterpiece of spitting your customer in the face. They sent me an email claiming that they have been trying to reach me but couldn’t, asking me to call them back because there is an issue with…
