We are headed into May soon – tomorrow! I love the beginning of May because the first day of May is always a holiday. And then because I came into being after Labour Day (literally), it gives me one more good reason to take a breather and to do the things I like. I am forty-five years old this year by the way, and I hope that I can continue to live simply, sufficiently and be a useful human being for another twenty years or so, minimally.
I love to eat instant noodles. This bad habit of mine might be the reason why I’m going to fall sick next as I get older. But I’m sure I’m not the only one around me.
I did it! I jogged for 5km nonstop on 12 April 2026. It’s a small achievement, but I’m so happy I did it!
Yakitori (or grilled chicken skewers) originate from Japan and has been a Japanese delicacy since the Edo period. The original dish involves grilling wild birds and is now done using mainly chicken parts.The most important thing is to get the tare correct, using a sweet and savoury sauce which is used to brush onto the chicken while it grills. That’s what gives yakitori it’s distinctive taste as compared to other types of grilled chicken.
Reminiscing snacks from the German motherland. They have really nice breadsticks, and a wide variety of them, both in the supermarkets and in cafes or along the streets (food carts etc). I miss Germany a lot. When can I go back for a visit?
