Recipe: Peppermint Sheet Cake With White Chocolate Frosting

Strictly speaking it is the 5th day of Christmas and at least we have still plenty of candy canes lying around. Because I always buy too many. They look so sweet, but then I can’t even finish one whole cane. Read More …

Cozy Up at Home

Posted onDecember 16, 2020Leave a comment

The first snow storm of the season has arrived. It started to snow this afternoon and by now snow is covering all of Midtown. It is really pretty, esp. considering that I sit at my desk right at the window. Read More …

The cozy mystery I am reading right now is set in
The cozy mystery I am reading right now is set in New Orleans and the protagonists constantly talk of all the delicious foods there ('The Undead Uproar' 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟 by Amanda M. Lee) .... So this morning, while still enjoying my first coffee of the day in bed, I googled southern food places in Manhattan📍. I came up with the Comfort Diner, which is only a 10 minute walk from us. We decided spontaneously to go there and had a lovely and yummy brunch ☕🌯🍳 (even a little cheaper than the other diners around us). They also have the funniest actual book covers on their walls 😂. #influencedbybooks #cozymysteriesmakemehungry

I would now be ready for summer - or at least spring 🌸. This weekend is hopefully the last in a long time with temperatures under 0°C - because next week we expect the first properly warm days 🤩

That Monday morning feeling 😸
Just a little extra yawn, a little extra stretch and then we rock this week 💃
Btw, Arti and Lotti are getting spayed today, which we are slightly more excited than worried about 🤞

When you omit too many words ... 🤷‍♀️ Recently, I have had several rather bad days (my broken right wrist and the cast that covers all the way from my hand to over my elbow make me feel mostly helpless), but of course there are also many good things happening:
• my husband is amazing and helps me all the time 🥰, including cutting my food and lending me his sweaters because they nicely fit over the cast
• the two snugglers 🐅🐆 are very cute and finally have appointments to get spayed
• we are both fully vaccinated against Covid and went for the first time in forever to eat inside a restaurant today
• cinemas in the City are supposed to open next Friday and I want to go immediately (I don't even really care about the specific movie)

--- I can't jump that well so I've started to slip and fly. Still practicing how to land safely ... 😏🦾
