Thanksgiving Break

Crab ravioli!

This year, I am thankful for my family, my ten-year-old puppy, my friends, my awesome project at work, and my new Kitchenaid Mixer (!!!) that should be arriving in a few weeks! (Trust me, when that happens, it will get its own inaugural blog post).

Lebkuchen - German Christmas Cookie

Happy Holidays! (One month early...)

My work offers free German classes (we do a lot of business overseas), so I've been taking advantage of that the past few weeks. The class meets only twice a week,  so I haven't learned too much, but of course, I know how to say the important things, like "I bake cookies" or how to write a shopping list in German for a cupcake recipe.

I love living in San Francisco. There's just always something interesting and unique to do in this city - just this last weekend, I participated in Journey to the End of the Night, which is basically a giant game of zombies/tag throughout the city. If you happened to be in the area Saturday night and suddenly saw two thousand people running for their lives, don't worry, the world wasn't ending. We were just being being ten years old again - and it was awesome!
