This is for @lynnnothegger.bsky.social who likes to post about German ads improperly using English words. I know what they want to to convey, but I wouldn't use "juicy" or "crunchy" to describe cinnamon rolls

Chili, it was chili. I've wanted to try Over The Top chili where you smoke a bit meatball/patty over the pot on the grill, but the North German weather said "not today".

Time to make some homemade vanilla extract. Looks like we were a bit low on vodka - I'll have to pick some up later to top this off.

Oh look, Sky is replaying last week's #Werder game. Turned it in to see this classic from our Danish Fußballgott Jens Stage.
Why hasn't the Danish National Team called this guy up?

A little late, but here are some pictures. Most/all the food is courtesy of my wife. She had a work trip this week and a Mexican was impressed with everything she made, from scratch (including tortillas)

After reading two serious books (The Cellist of Sarajevo, The Parable of the Sower), I'm pivoting direction on the next one. This was a surprise from my wife after she was traveling last week. It does make me want bread and beer 🍻
