Stuffed Pumpkin
Grab a small pumpkin, fill it with a spiced brown rice mixture, bake it in the oven, and enjoy your delicious and beautifully presented meal! I have missed the first snowfall in Zurich every single year we have been here. About a month ago, Jon told me jokingly (but half serious) that it’s not going to snow […]
Fennel Apple Salad

After almost three years of living here, we finally ordered our first delivery pizza. A combination of not knowing how to order it, whether it would […]

I now have large and ugly bites on both arms, my hand (x2) thigh (x2), ankle, and what’s next. Good thing it’s […]
