    Japanese Curry

    Cooking is a great passion of mine. I am constantly on the lookout for new recipes. Of course, every now and then Japanese specialties are on the daily menu, even if they sometimes have to be improvised due to a lack of ingredients. Cooking also plays a central role in Kevin’s and my relationship. We started cooking together even before we became a couple, and I had the original goal of teaching Kevin, who until then had mostly eaten convenience foods and cafeteria food, how to cook. In the process, Kevin turned me on to a dish that has since become one of both of our favorites: Japanese curry. I…

Several hours later, finally sitting on the plane (a Boeing…

    Peru (2019)

    Actually, we wanted to visit South Korea. How on earth did we end up in Peru? For years there was either no time or money to travel. Well, six months with a job and we suddenly had both: Sufficient money and three weeks’ vacation. My longtime best friend Jieun is Korean and flies to South Korea almost every spring. She has already suggested several times to come along. So why not put the suggestion into practice? In contrast to us, Jieun is still a student and as such, her exams thwarted the bill and Korea was cancelled. So there we were with 3 weeks of approved vacation and an unsatisfied…
