Usually, it is being served in a stemmed champagne cup, which originally invited the immature nonsense of comparing its appearance with the male anatomy. Although the two eggs with the long stem of the […]
: : : Now that I am back living in Germany again, there is always a jar with currywurst sauce in my fridge. I use this wonder sauce not only for traditional currywurst, but also on sandwiches instead of mustard and on other dishes, veggies, BBQ, eggs, etc. I admit that this looks a bit […]

Unfortunately, I don’t believe that ANY food I love (I love most 🙂 ) will make me loose weight, especially pasta. Why? Because if I love something, I consume it in excess quantities.
