Chianti Cheers

Aldi again … From today they sell a new Chianti (DOCG, 2006) Rubinello. I strongly recommend it. It’s good, dark red and strong. Let it breathe. [No, they don’t sponsor me] 😀

Ginger vs Gloom

Peel a ginger root and slice it into thin slices or pieces. Boil a liter of water, add the ginger. Cover it and wait 20 minutes. Add honey and lemon to taste. It helps! Cheers! Drink it hot!

Fluffy Lints

One super 8 frame is 1/24 second = 41.66666666666666666666666666666666 milliseconds.
Here’s one with beautiful lints! Can you find out what’s on the picture ? 😉

Elevator Mosquitos

I was biking through a park and found a little flock of mosquitos, they were dancing in the late afternoon sunbeams – up and down vertically like playing elevator. One up one down, close. Friction generates warmth, I guess. Keeping the last summer particles! (unfortunately I couldn’t capture them with my camera. Just believe me.)

Secrets in an Alditüte

I wonder what my opposite neighbor hides in his ALDI-bag … a birthday surprise cake that cools down over night? Apples that are best kept at outside temperatures and the fridge would be too cold and the inside too warm? Love letters? Body parts? Stinking cheese? 😉

Yellow Autumn

After more than 1 week with a sick computer I’m finally online again … and my outside world has turned yellow. And I found a heart on the street!

Sachensuchen / Seeking Things

Explorers, finders and collectors like me, my brother and my nephew love www.geocaching.de and www.geocaching.com … People all over the world hide „treasures“, it’s like „a game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.“
We found one today!

A Day Dedicated To Wilbur Scoville

German reunification – happy birthday, 18 years ago the East and West joyfully joined together 😉 – it’s a holiday for everybody here … I’m still suffering from Californication, so I reunited happily with Khani, Miriam and Darius to have some authentic burgers in a hidden place called AWS (American Western Saloon) in deep space Reinickendorf/Märkisches Viertel, weird outskirts of West (!) Berlin … oh Guadalupe-mia, we had Chili-Tequila, we spit fire and will never be cold any more and felt really cleared from the inside … the waitress told us later that we finished the remains of the Tequila bottle (means: concentrated marinated chili) … definitely very high on the Scoville scale.
