Visitors who also love good food

Johan's parents came to town and I met up with them at the airport and then we went straight to Santa Cantina for lunch. Margaritas included. Off to the supermarket to buy cream, they were re-branding and the shelves were pretty empty.


Cream for SEMLA! My favourite pastry in the world. Day-time drinking made us all sleepy and when Johan came home from work we had a bottle of bubbles and these sugar bombs, which made us all awake again.


Late night dinner, so good.


After sleeping in on Friday, we started the day with burgers at Gotham Imbiss.


And then off to my friends' bar. I had a hot cocoa and the other ones had bourbon and absinthe.


OK, so guys, let's cross the city and go to Stone Brewers! Johan yelled. And so we went. And tried 16 different beers.


You could get the beers as 15cl, thank you very much.


Hello lovely people! (Look at Johan's shirt, we found it in a second hand shop in Sweden this xmas and both screamed IT'S MINE)


Some small things to eat with the beer.


The place is beautiful and because it's new and clean it felt like we had left Berlin and been traveling to Sweden.


Bye Stone Brewers. After this we took a taxi to Gotham Imbiss and had chicken wings hanging out with a lot of friends.


On Saturday we met up for a car ride to Xberg where we had pizza.


I'm trying to remember what we did after the pizza, but...? Oh, yes! We went to Frischeparadies to look at delicious stuff and then off to friends' different bars to hang out with friends. Hunger stroke again and I was in the mood for broth and ended up having a vegan very healthy dumpling soup, which I had to pay for the day after ;) Was so hangover hungry that I didn't manage to snap a picture of my breakfast before it was in my belly, muaha. Had it at my darling Roland's place Cozys ;)


On our last evening we went to Mitte for some hot pot, such a social way of eating together.


Monday morning and we had breakfast at Silo before saying farewell. Well, before the farewell Johan's parents and I were hanging out on a park bench in the sun cuddling with dogs. And boom, Spring arrived!

Had such a great time as you can see.
And, now what? I have no idea.

This and that

Last week I was fasting again for a few days and ended up walking 12 km on the second day. The energy!


Was spying on Johan working on a logotype.


Friday evening I was sitting on the subway platform eating sushi.


Now that the Wrist Worms factory isn't that hectic, I finally have time to make another grannysquare blanket. Read all info about it here.

Do you know how happy I've been lately from all your kind comments? Back in the days I would have never dared to open up so much about myself here, because the comments were so harsh from time to time. I think there's been a big change the past years, a very good change :)

Monday thoughts

Sun is almost down and it's raining, it feels like Fall though in my mind it's more like a Spring party after learning what's "wrong" with me because after that I have been much kinder to myself, I have accepted things and I feel hopeful about the future. Thank you so much for all your thoughtful comments on that post (also, other good news: my face healed within a week, couldn't believe it).

So, what's up this week?
I'm gonna take the next couple of days as they come and on Thursday Johan's parents arrive in Berlin and we're going to have so much fun. Most important: We're going to eat so much good stuff, that's what we do best together. Will make sure to bring my camera!

Gotham Imbiss

Johan has been working on the graphic profile for a new place on Simon-Dach-Strasse 7 (finally some better quality food than the regular tourist trap happy hour bullshit) called GOTHAM IMBISS. It's opening later this week and if you're a fan of The Bird Xberg, you will be very happy! Was hanging out there the whole weekend assisting, drinking beer and laughing. Last night the kitchen was up and running for friends and we all celebrated with burgers, wohoo!

Commonground Opening Party

My friends James & Morgan (Silo) have opened a new café/bar in Mitte, Commonground. Last night was the opening party and I had the pleasure of sipping on the amazing Made in Cuba Welcome Drink and some beers surrounded by good friends. Not only do they serve great drinks - they open early in the morning serving delicious breakfast and also cups of amazing coffee, continuing until late night. I'm moving in.
