The Aftermath, Part I
Let me just get this out of the way. When I get these done, these won’t be my normal mission statement of things I like to write, but this is a platform for me to get my thoughts out overall. Where do I begin, the last few months have had a lot going on. I’ve traveled to several countries, checked off a few boxes...

Goodbye
When you get a call from your mother close to 4am on a Sunday morning, you know it can’t be a good thing. Especially when you aren’t at home in your place. I was sleeping in a multiperson hostel with friends in Freiburg. When I was able to call my mom, I was given the news, I never wanted to receive. My grandmother was...

The Christmas Markets are Here!!
To say it’s the most wonderful time of the year might be a little bit much. The most wonderful time of the year for me is when the weather is warm and I’m enjoying a beer or some other cold beverage outside. The very close wonderful time of the year is clearly when the Christmas Markets open and we are able to enjoy...

Malaga, the destination, you have to visit
Are you looking for somewhere really nice to go, but isn’t the normal tourist place? If so, let me tell you about a nice trip my girlfriend and I took to Malaga, Spain. This fabulous city located in the Costa del Sol (sun coast) region was a great trip, especially since around that time Stuttgart was doing what Stuttgart and various parts of Germany...

Stuttgart’s Best Burgers
In my 7 years of living in Germany, mainly here in Stuttgart, there are various meals I really do miss from the states. Now I can easily cook these things myself, but as we all know, there is a time, when you don’t want to have to go and buy the ingredients for whatever. You don’t want to have to go and have that...

Peach Moscow Mule
It’s all coming to an end. Sadly, it always comes to an end. You look at reports, you look outside, things just aren’t the same anymore. You know it has to end, but why? Can’t it last forever? Unfortunately, nothing last forever, so yes. We have to say goodbye to summer. Oh, I can only wonder what you might have thought I was talking...

Gin Blackberry Smash
Oh look, it’s the weekend again. I have to say, when I get up to start my Monday, I kind of think how fast or slow will this week go? Next thing you know, it’s Thursday and I’m trying to figure out the weekend plans, praying that Monday doesn’t come too quickly. With all of that, just like I wrote about a few weeks...

Tasty Carrot and Banana Bars
It’s been an interesting time with February rolling in, here in Stuttgart, the weather always leaves you wondering what will come next. For instance, take last Sunday, I was sitting here in my living room, look outside and there are nice fat snowflakes. I should probably mention a few days before if I wanted, a nice light jacket could’ve been worn. That’s just the...

Gooey Bacon Brownies Revisited
Several years ago I shared a recipe for gooey bacon brownies. I know the thought of bacon in something that is sweet is still odd to a lot of you. It was that way to me too, but I thought why not. The funny thing is that when I made these, then had friends try them, let me tell you something. To this...
