World Cup: What to serve when Germany is on the field

By Bouqui On June 16, 2018 · Add Comment
If you’re wondering what to serve when Die Elf are playing, I’ve got you covered with a variation on the classic Berlin currywurst: Black, red, and gold currywurst skewers. What could be better than German soccer? Not a lot, really, if you like soccer. We watch a lot of it because my husband is a huge [...]

World Cup: What to serve when France is on the field

My French national team
Wondering what to serve when Les Bleus are on the soccer field? I was too. I tried to figure out what the French grill or barbecue. Apparently nothing. When they grill, they seem to barbecue typically American stuff like ribs and so. My Internet searches turned up a barbecue contest where most of the contestants were wearing [...]

World Cup: What to serve when Switzerland’s on the field

By Bouqui On June 13, 2018 · Add Comment
My Swiss national team
The World Cup always inspires me to get creative with food. This year, I decided to develop a set of recipes for finger foods or party appetizers to eat while my favorite teams play. My challenge to myself was to use the grill for these recipes.  Raclette is a popular winter dish in Switzerland, but [...]

What’s for dinner? (with menu planner giveaway)

By Bouqui On March 24, 2015 · 3 Comments
I simply have mine laminated, but you can also frame it.
Essentially, I do my meal planning backward. Instead of seeing a recipe and writing the ingredients on my shopping list, here’s what I do. For bulk shopping, I check sales at the store, make a list, buy what’s on my list and any in-season, fresh fruit and produce that catches my eye. This technique 1) [...]

Wine box to phone charging station (upcycle)

The charging station with holes drilled.
Happy new year, dear Reader! Have you made a new year’s resolution yet? I did. In fact, I made several. One of them was to get more organized. I’m not messy, but—truth be told—I am not really as organized as I could be either. Who is? And being “not all that organized” is not so [...]

Patriotic 4th of July denim wreath
I have been feeling very inspired and patriotic lately because of the World Cup and the upcoming fourth of July holiday. Even though the World Cup soccer game on Friday will probably eclipse our fourth of July celebration (my husband is a huge German soccer fan), I decided to craft a patriotic wreath out of [...]

Easy guacamole avocado salad
In case you were wondering: no, I haven’t stopped blogging. I have been very busy with work that is actually paying me money. So the little voice of reason inside my head (or perhaps it was my husband’s voice) said I should probably prioritize that over my hobby of blogging. That being said, I’m still [...]

Egg-y the Snowman

Eggy the snowman
I don’t ski. I’m probably the only person in all of Switzerland who doesn’t. And, frankly, I don’t want to ski. There. I said it. I have no desire to ski. (Now that I’ve said that, they’ll probably throw me out of Swissyland along with all the other foreigners they want to keep out.)  My [...]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… (Clock upcycle)

By Bouqui On February 1, 2014 · 3 Comments
“The Force will be with you, always. ”—Obi-Wan
I should hire my kids out as quality control testers. I really should. None of this going-to-school nonsense. They could be making big bucks already! They are able to break everything. Everything. And they often do. They set a personal record this past Christmas 2013 when the seven-year old’s new remote-controlled car was kaputt within [...]
