Ten On Tuesday. Weird German names, Vegas and vegan shrimps.

Hallo meine Lieben,

how is your week going? Hope you are all having a great time.

For me it is time for another Ten On Tuesday. And to pack my suitcase which I really hate. 




1. I can't tell you how excited I am. Tomorrow we will go to Vegas, baby! Yay! I know it will be awesome. Plus Lin will be there too. Woohoo.

2. I am pretty sure that I won't win any money when I gamble. That would just not be me. I lose money, not win. 

3. David fixed the screen of my laptop. He is so awesome. I was scared that I would have to buy a new laptop. But gladly David knows how to replace the screen of a laptop. He is my hero. I always wanted to have a MacBook but it is nice that I don't have to spend that much money right now. 

4. My knitting is doing some progress. I still have to learn a lot but it is so much fun that I don't even care that my scarf looks like a mess. I am just proud of myself. I will show you the end product once I am finished. 

5. I recently watched a pretty cool and interesting documentary with Ewan McGregor. It is called "Cold Chain Mission" and I definitely recommend watching it. Ewan McGregor is on a mission to the ends of the earth to immunise some of the hardest-to-reach children in the world. In the first part they travel to India and Nepal and in the second part to Kongo.
After watching "Long Way Down" I just can't get enough of his travel documentaries.

6. Hermione is called "Hermine" in the German Harry Potter version.  And Crookshanks is Krummbein.  It's weird. 

7. I called my first car Hermine. It was clearly a girl. I loved her. Cars definitely need names. Does your car have a name?

8. I cut myself in the thumb when I tried to peel a mango. I need to work on my technique.

9. I finally tried those vegan shrimps I bought and I have to say that they are  fine but I am not overly excited. I roasted them in a pan with chili and garlic and ate them with spaghetti. I guess I would have been more excited if they would be called different. I just expected something else. They taste fine but not so much like shrimps (Not that I really remember how they taste...).

10. I won't be able to catch up on your blogs for a week but I hope you won't forget about me. I am preparing some posts and I can't wait to catch up with you guys again!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

  1. One of these days I'm gonna do an extensive taste test comparing vegan replicas of foods, I'll let you know what tastes like what it's supposed to.
    Also, good on your man for being techy and fixing your laptop!
    Have fun in Vegas!

  4. Ah, Vegas, baby! Have the best time ever! I love Ewan's travel documentaries...he has one where he's on a motorcycle trip with a friend for months - don't remember the name, should probably google it...it was awesome!
    Cannot wait to see your scarf! I love that you started to knit!
    My first car's name was Poldi - a red 11 year old Nissan Micra I got from my parents to my Abi - loved it!

  8. AWE! You must be in Vegas right now!!! ;D Have a blast, guys! And don't waste money gambling, haha. But hey, take advantage of the free drinks they serve you when you're playing ;p.

    Oh, and I think I bought a book about Ewab McGregor's travels at the old library; I need to read it!

    You're way closer to my house now, Katrin! Come visit me, hehe! ;P
