Summer incompatibility is an earnest topic. Outside the sun is shining and burns the world already in May… too hot to even lift a single finger. So you start your day holing up in the shadows and hide from the world. And the heat. Stay inside where it is cool and nice. Or at least cooler than outside. You barricade yourself in your living room and peek through the closed curtains to catch a glimpse of the beautiful, sunny, colorful world outside. How lovely it would be to play with the other big children outside! To meet with them at the beer garden or the open air pool, bathing in the sun and enjoying life under a perfect blue sky. Frightened you could miss something you take a few cautious steps outside in the late afternoon. Right under the parasol of course and not without a thick layer of sun screen.

In my mind I’m walking along a plain; on a broken world. The earth here is purple coloured, the soil sparse and small islands float in the sky around me. In front of me a monster arises from nothing and rumples with its giant feet, squeaking with its metallic joints. I am tiny in comparison, a fragile blood elf and still I confront it.

The boss goes down, we raid the loot and lovingly fight about the blue item in the TeamSpeak while proceeding to the next adventure with lots of new experience points.

„Miss Zuckerwatte, I want to start cooking Japanese. What do I need for that?“. A good question. When I started to work myself into the Japanese kitchen a few years back, I was overwhelmed by all the possibilities –and simultaneous desperate by the fact that German sources on this kitchen are quite rare.By now I am surprised over and over how few different ingredients I really cook with, when I am cooking Japanese. Every time I use the same sauces and spices – the variation of the different dishes come from the fresh ingredients and the cooking method I choose.

It is May and according to our host the first really warm day of the year in Stockholm. Work hours have been over for quite a while now and despite the late hours the sun is still up in the sky. Yes, Midsommar is coming. The streets are full: The Swedes enjoy the „evening“ sun, the warmth, life. The cafés are full, the pubs are buzzing with conversation, with catching laughter. And Mr Zuckerwatte and me are right in the middle. Almost a full week in Stockholm lies behind us now – five days of relaxing, long walks on foot, a lot of good food and new impressions. Continue reading Stockholm: Every day a sweet bun. And sometimes even two…→
