pizza is apparently a first course in Italy.
pizza is eaten whole by one person in Germany.
In America, we would split a pizza between two or three.
American pizza, first off, is an abomination. let’s be real.
it can however also the best guilty pleasure.
But the American pizza dough is incredibly thick. If the bottom of pizza for the US is like a slice of bread, the pizza in the EU could be considered a soft cracker.
when you get here, you’ll understand.
I am one for the cracker
I just received a text message from a massive group chain on WhatsApp. I’m talking about 30 people. They are a part of a company, and I am their English teacher. It is nice that they include me in this group- but talk about FOMO! They are at a Christmas part in Hamburg right now, and I just get to sit and watch from Munich.
Many texts have come in throughout the day and just a moment ago, this guy asked for someone to pick up water at the grocery store. The response was:
Still/Medium/Classic?
In Germany, people are so picky about their water. Which brands you buy is one of them, but mainly it’s about the level of the bubbles in the bottle.
Still: flat water
Classic: bubbled water
Medium: lightly bubbled water
I used to think this was excessive. But there is a major difference in the water. And in fact, I drink way less sodas now since I have moved here and became obsessed with Sparkling water. For me though- Classic is far too many bubbles. Medium for me please!
The answer in the end was:
2x Still 2x Medium
Loewe’s limited edition linen set is a dream. Add that to my checklist for dream house.
Post Malone as a person is really hard to not like. Seriously, what a great and easy going guy. AND he happens to be from the Dallas area 😉 Vice’s Noisey made a great short on him.
This organisation is bringing people together with food. The New York Times wrote a pice about it, scroll down to the title: Food Matters: A Seat at the Table
Bureau Betak’s blog is having a moment, displaying their top pictures from the work they did for Paris Fashion Week.
I’m personally not into anime, but Ezra Koenig’s Neo Yokio is fkin’ perfect. I’m obsessed with it! And I’m sick of reading reviews that trash it. So much so, I called Netflix’s customer service line just to say, “hey guys, please make more of this!” The woman on the other end was all about it, too.
The documenta 14 budgetary drama continues to unfold, and becoming even more scandalous.
Their website doesn’t do it justice, but this quaint Italian restaurant at Münchner Freiheit in Munich was such a delight last night. Trattoria Donna Maria probably couldn’t sit more than 50 people, has a limited daily menu, and best of all, everything is cooked by an Italian mother. The kitchen has a door that swings open when food gets delivered, and you see a dolled-up Italian woman wearing 60’s-style drop earrings stirring the sauce. It was more than a pleasure to be able to find a seat there last night. Highly recommend if you are ever in Munich.
