Too much Cheese

by Elli on July 1, 2009

Given that I recently visited Switzerland it should come as no surprise that I had an overdose of cheese. And anyways I don’t really feel it’s necessary to apologize for being a person who reliably cries when watching Disney Movies. So here goes (remembering walking through Paris and when NOT arguing singing this song):

Obligation

by Elli on June 30, 2009

I am obliged to feel blissfully happy.

There is as we all know such abundance of misery and poverty and crap in this world,
that if you find yourself in a moment, where you’re suffering of none of these you simply need to, have to, must allow the feeling of bliss into your heart at all cost, so to at least try to create a balance.

I am blissfully happy now.

The playground we frequent in Zurich Wipkingen is beautiful. Despite the bad weather forecast we have been extremely lucky and so far we have only been kissed by the sun. Levia is climbing, swinging, singing, jumping and running and getting down and dirty in the sand. I think she’s digging it. Amazingly she also seems [...]

Sweet

June 10, 2009

My friend Marianne just sent me her brilliant M.A. thesis on the subject of Immortality’s undesirability. It happened to be a very rewarding read, since apart from it’s academic brilliance and the subtle humor that she will deny, the topic itself is so wisely chosen as to touch a genuine interest universally shared by mortals.
Still [...]

June 1, 2009

Levia and I decided to sing a lil song for our Daddy far away. Here goes with all our heart, even if we don’t look so motivated.

Blog Crime

May 10, 2009

Did I just commit a huge blog crime or transgression of blogger etiquette? I’m not sure, may you be my judge. Insanely motivated by Vered’s last post I started to gather bits and pieces of my old soulkin blog that I loved and neglected so in his dying days, and I sorted out some of [...]

Candied Olives

May 8, 2009

Walking through Paris, Chinese Neighborhood,
Red cheap artificial smell of plastic treasures,
some chickens hang naked, heads down
staring out the window through empty sockets.
You hold my hand and we walk,
clearly in the wrong direction.
Night falls, noise rises, the fighting is over
for now.
We enter a shop, looking for something new,
happy that something old is gone and sad, too.
And [...]

Mom Stories

April 21, 2009

I just spent 10 minutes recapitulating my morning with my daughter, which was as far as mornings go, pretty wonderful.
We drove to the Godesburg in Bonn and enjoyed the view on this beautifully warm and sunny day and then we went for a walk on the Jewish cemetery right next to the ruin. Of course [...]

The Dude - Who would have thought?

March 28, 2009

Well, I’m a bit proud to present the result of my latest little survey:
According to the “Which Big Lebowski character are you?” quiz:

Why don’t you check it out? Or we cut off your Johnson!

Focaccia!

February 26, 2009

So, gluten-free Focaccia is actually possible. And it was tasty, too. I served it with marinaded cherry tomatoes that I had prepared two days earlier (meaning put in a jar with olive oil, red-wine vinegar, garlic, salt and herbs), cream cheese and a dip consisting of vinegar and soy-sauce. Everyone was delighted and Levia picked [...]
