A very quick update

From From the Big Apple to the Big Be, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

It's been a long time since I checked in and there are very many blog posts waiting to be written, photos to be posted, and books to be reviewed. But just to dip my toes back in the water, I thought I'd post a quick update on what has happened since the end of November. I have read some books (though not many recently), and might actually post a combined review sometime but the biggest news of Read more

So far I have packed just on 24 boxes of books while putting about 164 out to be taken by passer-bys. I probable have only a few more boxes to pack (of books!) and about 20-30 more books to give away. We have also packed 4 boxes of clothes, which 1. tells you how many clothes we have in comparison to printed material and 2. that we actually will need to take clothes in suitcases with us for the 7 Read more

More Ch.ch.ch.changes....

It's been a while since I wrote a real post and that's because we have been completely up in the air about life and what we are doing in it. Short form: We are having twins in the spring and we will be moving to upstate NY in late December (if the container actually gets scheduled in December and I am feeling nervous about it). So if anyone in Berlin is reading this, we are looking for a Read more

It's clear that reading e-books significantly increases the number of books that I read. As does not taking a German class this semester, travelling for extended car trips, visiting cities without the kids (to consider moving there) and so on. My internet was down for 11 days (fodder for another post), so I'll just get this up now- I wasn't able to write reviews while I was reading, but, Read more

It's a weird month: I feel like I have been sleeping a lot (and I have), but reading a lot. It's amazing how much time I have when I am not taking a language class full time. I've been a bit unwell, but am feeling better and hope to be more energetic by next month. The huge number of e-books I have read make it clear that when I can bring books with me wherever I go, and start a new one whenever Read more

And the salad we had. Trying out some new recipes: Potato Kugel- Trying this one from the Serious Eats website. Note from Arthur Schwartz: All the old recipes for potato kugel come out sort of heavy and gluey, which is not at all the kugel taste of today in New York City. These days, the kugel sold in the take-out shops and delicatessens, not to mention those made at home by modern Read more
