While driving through this morning’s -13° cold, I listened to WDR 5‘s Zeitzeichen. Today they featured a story about Charles Dickens that made this morning’s drive that much more enjoyable. When I arrived back at the desk I saw this lovely design on google:     Only then did I realise that today is the [...]

Why the girls of Hayao Miyazaki are better than Disney’s Princesses

The King and the Cobra

Marcel Krüger asked us to stop coming to his house, so people went to the Cobra instead. In early November Krüger had his first self-published book coming out, which compiled stories from his blog, his project Sonic Iceland and even some articles that had previously been published in real newspapers.     What better way [...]

Now Jenny added a nice piece of knews: Lonely Guy from “Love actually” kept his promise, to love Keira Knightley’s Juliet for always:     Eek! [...]

Mrs. Prosch’s Olde Bakery X: Lemon Curd

It’s been awhile since my last baking extravaganza in May, when I baked the infamous rainbow cake. A lot has happened since then, albeit not on the baking front. For one, I am now maid of honour to the rainbow-cake-birthdaygirl! And I was asked to bake the couple’s wedding cake to which I answered: “Challenge [...]

Pretty (,) Useless Stuff

What was that? You said you wanted to buy me something? My oh my, you shouldn’t… But if you insist: I found some veeeery nice things online. Pretty and useless stuff. Mostly useless.

Mrs. Prosch’s Olde Bakery VIII: Leipziger Apple Pie

This one isn’t actually out of an old Leipzig cookbook, but snatched right off a friend’s wife’s blog. When I saw her post my mouth immediately started to water, so I had to try this recipe.     After I had thrown the first ingredients into the bowl I noticed that the flour was missing [...]
