Posted on 28/02/2014 by oneexpatslife

The problem with Fridays is that I’m always hungry. Here’s the deal, my husband and I do our weekly grocery shopping on Saturday morning. This is no coincidence. German shops tend to have idyllic opening hours (for the shopkeepers anyway) … Continue reading →

dressy pasta “risotto”

Posted on 04/01/2014 by oneexpatslife

This week, French Fridays with Dorie introduced a familiar technique to a very different recipe, Dressy Pasta “Risotto”. This recipe also, once again, demonstrated that I need to start paying more attention to Dorie’s punctuation because, despite the quotation marks, … Continue reading →

Posted on 22/12/2013 by oneexpatslife
