Share it Saturdays No. 1
Today is my first installment of Share it Saturdays! As my readers from my old blog, Stilettos at the Dinner Table, know, I am a super spontaneous poster. I have no rhythm when it comes to posting (oh Aya, let's face it, you have no rhythm at all), but with the help of this theme, I will remember to periodically share some of my favorite bits and bobs with...
Bioladen Cafe
A Bioladen is directly translated as an Organic Store, and you guessed it; everything in the store is organic. I am a frequent visitor of these establishments because I love the variety they offer. From regular grocery items to specialty items, I find them to be an immense source of inspiration for new recipes. Some of them also have a little cafe attached...

Purikura in Berlin and Meal Snaps!
Hey guys, what's shakin'? A few days ago, a question popped into my head: Are there Purikura machines in Berlin? For those of you who don't know, Purikura are sticker pictures that you can take, decorate, print, and swap with friends. I did a bit of research (this means I googled "Purikura in Berlin") and found out that J-Store in Charlottenburg had one! Before...

Dried Apples and Juice
Let's face it: I love apples. Remember my Raw Vegan Apple Tarts? Well since then, the love has not died. I mean, what is there to dislike? Apples are great to carry around anywhere. They last for a while. You can make a variety of things out of them and add them to almost any savory dish too. Let's just say apples continue to rock my world. I noticed my...

Halloween Challenge!
Hey guys and gals, how's it going? Halloween is coming up and you know what that means? Diabetics please look away. Now I am not going to lie--those Reese's Peanut Butter Cups look so good to me now, considering I have not had American candy in over a year. A YEAR I TELL YOU <----why am I yelling? Well I have somewhat grown out of the commercial...

Things I Ate this Week
It's Sunday guys and Sunday is a day of relaxation in Europe. It boggles my brain every time that 80% of stores are closed over here. Growing up in NY, businesses never stopped for any day of the week. I suppose it's a nice change though (people deserve to catch up on their beauty sleep!) Anyway, to close up the week, here's a flash of a few things I bought...

Mexican Food inside a mall
I know what you nuggets are thinking: mall food = expensive bland food. To be fair, you're probably right 80% of the time. Then there's the other 20% that's actually not too shabby. Note: It gets no award for plating and those Buffalo Wings are not in anyway Buffalo Wings nor Mexican, BUT the food was pretty good. In fact, Oli practically licked the plate....

The Trip to Mauer Park
When people visit Berlin, Mauer Park is always on their list of places to see, and for a good reason; Mauer Park has a famous Flea Market every Sunday. From special artisan goods to tofu burgers to old Polaroid cameras, this place has everything and a bag of chips. If you're not looking to buy anything, that works too--just sit on a stone step and listen to...

Happy Cows Come from California
If you're American and have watched tv in the past 5 years, you know where this slogan is from. For those of you who don't, here's a video. Why are those sheep raging and Scottish? I don't know. Maybe it's what Scottish sheep do (any Scottish sheep expert out there?) I can't say much about California cows, but the cows in my neighborhood milk farm seem...

Safran Restaurant
I remember stumbling upon Safran with my friend Sam when she came to visit me back in November. It was one of those moments: we were both hungry and open to new ideas and the moment we saw the sign for Persian food, we decided to go in. Safran is a quiet and cozy place. I've only seen it full of people once; every other time it's been just me or me and one...

Noodles and New Girl
Some of you may or may not know, New Girl has been on my radar since the first episode aired back in 2011. It's a bit hard to convince people to watch the show if they've never given it a go. It's kind of like trying to explain The Office. "What is it about?" "Uhhh, well, it's about people who work in an office." New Girl is basically about a girl who...

New Facebook Page
Hey guys, so a mini update! As you may have noticed, I changed the banner. I was a bit bored with the old one and I thought about making it a mono image, so there it is. I also would like to announce my new FB page! I wasn't really thinking about getting a fb page initially (I'm not very good with multiple internet portals). However, I have been getting...
