My daughter has been sick with a virus. My husband got it first, then her, then the puppy. Yep, puppies can get your viruses too, in case you didn’t know. But, when she’s asleep or resting during the day, I find some time for learning Deutsch and for Fashion Sketchin’, (and cleaning, and cooking and paying […]
I finally made’em…
Amaretti Biscuits! I love Almond Biscuits. In deed, they are one of my favorite treats to eat! And you know? They always stroke me as something that would be really complicated to make, for some reason. Maybe the fact that they are Italian. Actually, they are the French version of Macaroons, yeah, it’s true. But […]
Gobble gobble gobble…McDonalds!
To all Americans around the World, I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I do wonder about the Americans that live outside of the USA. Do they substitute Turkeys for something else? Wondering if you’re in China, can you find a Turkey? How about in Russia, would you be able to find a little […]
Pumpkin Purée, anyone?
It’s easy to make…! See..no need for Libby’s canned Pumpkin Purée! Well, actually, it would be great to keep one handy. I live in Switzerland, and it’s practically nonexistent. I asked one of my neighbors about where I can find this and she just stared at me and said, “Ha?, you need what”? What’s that…?” […]
Yum Yum Pumpkin Bread!
I love making Pumpkin Bread (Pumpkin Cupcakes, Muffins, Cakes, Pies…) Thanksgiving is around the corner, and despite the fact that we’re in Switzerland, I must bring the Thanksgiving spirit into my home by baking a seasonal dessert like we normally would back in the USA. Of course I’m talking about Pumpkin and Pecan Pies!!! Umm, yummy […]
Gosh, I miss the 80’s music…
“Let’s go dancing…oh la la la..”. I was listening to baden.fm radio station. It’s one of those stations that plays a lot of 80’s music here in Switzerland. And it’s a great thing, if you’re into 80’s music, of course. If not, then, what’s the matter with you? Anyways, I love all kinds of music, […]
Sketching my way into fashion….
Or at least trying, that is… I look at my sketches and I always believe they’re awesome and “Wao, I can’t believe I did ’em”, and then I surf for fashion sketches and I’m like…”Wao, I have a long way to go to make ’em look gorgeous” kind of thought you know! In the meantime, […]
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
German is hard, so what? You know, on my way to class I go to listen to a song by Thirty Seconds to Mars. And, as I was listening to the lyrics, I was like, why am I complaining about learning a language? I couldn’t understand it, and then I realized, (as I have many […]
It’s a big day for me…
Another language to learn… Tomorrow I start my German lessons! This will be my 5th language! I speak Spanish, English, French and Portuguese. And now, German! I’m actually stoked! Let me tell you why! I’m tired of translating everything I get in the mail, or from my daughter’s school, or from the doctors, the bills, etc…, […]
Truly a “shöne tag”…
AT EUROPA PARK! Europa Park is a huge amusement park. How big is it? Well, it’s the largest park in Germany for sure. In Europe? It’s one of the most popular parks after Disneyland in Paris, France. Europa Park has hotel accommodations, all with their own theme, just like Disneyland in Paris. They even […]
What gives?
Germany radio stations are in need of some serious makeover… Was this a glitch? It was a Saturday night, and those kinds of nights….you would think the music would be off the charts!!! Last night I was driving back from Germany and I couldn’t help switching the radio stations constantly. I was searching for […]
C’est trop beau…!
Annecy, France It’s just breathtaking! The mountain views, the lake, the old town, the food, everything is just great! We stayed at the Best Western Hôtel Carlton located on 5 Rue des Glières. Everything was truly within walking distance from this hotel, so you should think about this when booking a night or two in Annecy. […]
