  • Oof, you’d be on the road a lot. Black forest - in the very south west, Neuschwanstein - pretty south east, Berlin - very north east.

    I might suggest going to the black forest, visiting all the historical castles in the Mittelrheintal (middle Rhine valley), and instead of Brandenburg gate maybe Stuttgarter Schloss etc. Neuschwanstein is basically castle-cosplay. I think in the middle Rhine valley you’ll find cooler things and it’s closer .

  • Yeah Pfannkuchen, Eierkuchen, Palatschinken, Plinsen, Flinzen, Crêpe (only on the christmas market) …

    Now please tell me how you call the smaller, thicker “American” pancakes.

    I call them Löffelkuchen (spoon cake) and we make them mostly with berries in the batter (black current or blueberry).


  • There are three weeks in spring - around April - when the trees start sprouting their leaves. And for three weeks the beech leaves have such an incredible light green before they turn darker.

    It’s so fragile, yet so vibrant. The sun shines through the leaves and illuminates them from the inside. It’s a bit milky or hazy but also unbelievably clear and honest. Going through a beech grove during that time feels like I’m in Lothlórien.




  • Back on the old site on one of those text based subreddits there was a question posted:

    Would you rather have free WiFi wherever you go, or any apple product you wish at any time.

    My (then unrotted) brain was like: mmh WiFi everywhere is good, but apple cake, apple pie, apple sauce, apple spritz, apple cider, apple strudel, dried apples… Yeah I’m going with apple products






  • I don’t wanna get into a fight over this, but they do regulate dilution. At least where I’m from.

    It can only be called “juice” if it has got at least x% of juice in it. If it’s made from concentrate, it says so on the front.

    Companies mustn’t lie about the percentage of juice content and all ingredients are listed on the back in order of content.

    In the UK, there’s a sugar tax, so that’s another form of regulation.

    Customers may decide whether they want to buy 25% or 100% juice, but this competition only works because of the rules I listed.
