With all that snow, I got into the Christmas spirit a little early and decided to get myself a funky little “Christmas tree”. Herr Mehlis always has the most wonderful creations.

and decorate my front door

Coming up soon: garish colored light strings on the balcony and around the windows! (maybe)

Created by my favorite chef in Germany, Raffaele

Update: After my VERY favorite chef, Dave, complained

Subject: 4 overcooked shrimp and a bowl of scrambled eggs

Gets you favorite chef honors!!!???

Wtf?

I’m hurt …truly hurt


I have added the “in Germany” as, of course, Dave is still my favorite Chef in the world - yum, those soft shell crab thingies I’ll never forget!

Tribal belt (I will seriously wear this)

But treating children like pets?

Seen on a street in Leverkusen, Germany today:

These two women are smiling, having a nice little chat. While one of them is holding a leash with her toddler on it. WTF?
