Frust statt Lust – oder mein verzweifelter Versuch, auf der Baja meine ersten Donauwellen zu backen

Gezeichnete Bäckerin in einer mexikanischen Küche schlägt mit einem gelben Gummihammer auf einen Block Schokolade, daneben Donauwellen, eine Katze mit Sombrero und ein Esel am Fenster

Es gibt schwarze Montage. Allerdings wusste ich bisher nicht, dass das auch für Dienstage gilt. Aber es gibt Tage, da sollte man am besten gar nichts anfassen. Das Problem ist nur: Man weiß es vorher nicht. Heute hatte Romed Spanischunterricht und danach wollte er ins Gym. Also für mich die perfekte Gelegenheit, mich in der … Read more

The big challenge – with obstacles

The Kaiserschmarrn for Manuela It’s finally here. Our container has found its way to us – and with it, the things we brought from Austria have arrived as well. And of course, my baking supplies.

Coming from Austria, where much is signposted, regulated, and predictable, traffic in a new country seems more chaotic and … Read more

Our everyday life in Mexico – that’s what our life really looks like right now

If suddenly half of Mexico drives through our street

We are at home and are preparing our dinner right now. Basically, a completely normal evening. „Normal“ in our Baja neighborhood is, after all, a very flexible term. Because our street is kind of like a small lifeline. Everything just passes by here.
