Snacks, contemporary art & architecture, more snacks.
Unfortunately the current chef de cuisine job ad they have out sounds like they actually have a decent approach to food, rather than feeding these odious people gruel.

Konrad Wachsmann, heavily influenced by Bauhaus, developed a modernist take on wooden houses in the 1920s. Over 100 were built in the Saxonian town of Niesky. Rural Germany would look so hot today if the Nazis hadn’t stopped the whole thing.

First outing to Dong Xuan centre for steamed buns for Osh today.

A day so wet and dreary I had an entire mountain to myself.

Not only a very busy but also incredibly pretty polling station in Erich Mendelsohn’s 1930 metal worker’s union building.

Lots of fog, foraging wild watercress and a 12th century cathedral that looks surprisingly Andalusian: a day in Königslutter.

Hadn’t been to a show in ages but this was enormously entertaining last night, all smiles and moshpits.

The German-Italian intersection for contemporary objects.

Glad someone came up with a cocktail to sum
up this week.

The week in pictures. Breaking down a wild boar, soaking up the atmosphere at Skaska’s football ground, the Sorbian cemetery in Ralbitz.

They don’t make them like this anymore. For a reason.

Baked a loaf of wholemeal rye and wheat bread to comply with requirements for German passport holders.

A very unplanned dinner success with NYE leftovers: chicken heart flatbread.

The Styrian version if this with toasted pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil is good, too, potentially my favourite potato salad even.

On the other app I would occasionally review terrible beer labels, Polish outfit Bytow now force me to take a different approach as their label design is just very lovely.

I’m glad the Guardian is finally telling the story of the trailblazer who was first to pose with a fish for his Tinder profile.

Let’s play “cereal brand or man who hopes that the train CCTV review comes back inconclusive”. Round 1:

December 3rd, time for the very last tomato from my balcony to ripen.

Biang Biang in Steglitz have the most beautiful nostalgic menu (no endorsement as I haven’t yet eaten there, but still).

It really was. Finding a menu like this in Berlin of all places was unexpected.

Bossam and oyster kimchi at Seoul Kwan is a magical dish.

The Invaliden cemetery is quite something. Mega goth military top brass graves, the Red Baron and his studio flat sized nazi headstone, and the wall running right through it all.

A posh, slightly grippy and textured orange like the La Stoppa Ageno would be nice, too. And you will likely find incredible deals on rosé at this time of year as people are trying to get of stock. Something darker in that department: very good.

PN is obviously a great choice, I would also consider the Edmund St John Bone Jolly Gamay and the Birichino Grenache in the same, but different category, assuming that West Coast wines are easy for you to source.

Lanzhou Beef Noodles. Very good noodles. Very ok other components. Very annoying that they accept cards but make guests beg multiple times before doing so. So tired of this.
