WONDERING WHAT TO EAT The month of January was the labelled Veganuary month. As the new year started people will have made some resolutions,  to maybe make some changes in their lives from exercise to diets. As the vegan diet is becoming so popular in places, especially for the millennials. Perhaps also because of the climate change factor  being in the news , and how we should cut down on eating meat because the industry contributes alot to climate change. There are many reasons. But I am not one to jump on the bandwagon that quickly,  of course I realize there are things that we can do to help . So  my main change has been to limit flying, and travel via train when possible. and the many other things. ( like Recycling and Reusing items.) VS PLANT BASED DIETS So back to the main topic of foods and veganism. Why the interest? Well I like to read articles on health, sciences and environment.  Veganism  is a bit of al...

NEW THINGS for a NEW YEAR Well the first week of 2020 is complete and there are many things to do or try.  I am not one to make a list of NEW YEARS resolutions in general -  more  a mental note to myself of what needs to be done or hopefully done.   But it is not always so simple to stick to new resolutions , as a study shows most people start well in the beginning and then the novelty wears off.   Be it  going to the gym or changing our diets things we all want to do ,  but perhaps don't enjoy it.  I think if you make a resolution it should be something you are interested in  or makes you feel happier or healthier. BECOMING VEGAN On that note, January is VEGANUARY month,  vegan diets are becoming more popular and  a more healthy lifestyle , I  could almost be a vegan, as I love fresh vegetables and fruits and not much meat, but I am not so keen on tofu burgers, sorry.   Also healt...

WHAT ABOUT AN EIS?  (ICE CREAM TIME) Well April is around the corner and the weather is super, which is when we feel like getting outside more, sitting out enjoying the warm temperatures and come goodies.  Already the cafes have set up their outdoor seating and places are filled.  But another popular place to visit are the EISSALONS OR GELATO  - the ice cream shops. And believe me there are plenty to find in the city. Every district seems to have one.  Ice-cream seems to be a very popular treat. A visit to the Eissalon is on the agenda!! images; kurier, lcm

🍂🍂🍂 GOLDEN fall// GOLDENE HERBST 🍁🍁🍁 There are a few things I miss about fall time in north america, namely Thanksgiving and the dinners. (and of course Halloween). Anyone who has lived some time in NA will know what I mean. Thanksgiving is a big family time.  The dinners and get togethers are really one of the most special times. As most people are so busy with their hectic work , kids and family things.  Thanksgiving day is the chance to spend it with family, friends.   The delicious dinners with the roasted turkey, pumpkin or apple pies , and the stuffing and cranberry sauce. My mouth waters when I think of it really!!   One can get turkey here, though not a whole one or substitute it with chicken i suppose, but one thing  it needs is cranberries and stuffing. The two things i love.  Okay I could try to make it myself , but my favourite stuffing comes out of the box. The stove top  one -  simple , fast and yummy. ...
