Crazy Party of a Different Kind
After all the college parties, New Year’s parties, and margarita parties, you would think that we should have things down pat by now. But yesterday’s event was the most complex yet, and Chika had even dealt with most of the details and hired a helper too.
What we didn’t realize was that all the planning activities which used to fit into small breaks in the days had become overtaken by Kai. There are just no such things at free moments in the way that they used to be.
It was still a great time, with lots of tasty food and great friends from near and far. And yes we had a few drinks too, just no afternoon brunch high-dose margaritas.
Thanks Chika for a great birthday celebration. XOXO
Delilah & Sansom
The ancient legend says that a man’s power is linked to his mane. But in reality, I think the real power comes through a different channel, i.e. the woman’s new haircut. Somehow a fresh new look sparks the soul within. Chika and I joked that the “self” had gotten trapped a bit with motherhood taking over. But with a fresh new cut, my lady is back. And already using her new found self power to send me a few action points. I had gotten a haircut too but it had little impact — as Samson realized, less hair means less power.
On a side note, if you are looking to get clipped in Berlin, I would recommend Link Hair Design on Prenzlauer Allee. The Japanese know what they are doing in this art. Plus they are very baby friendly — kids 10 and under are free with their parent. Kai isn’t quite ready to be cut (still is growing in), but he was resting quite well during the whole event.
Houseparty
Music, drinks (margaritas hopefully), maybe some snacks, good friends, late nights… That is what the houseparty scene in our lives used to be. But we seem to have a shift in our houseparty lives. Food not drink has become the priority. Daytime is the preferred hour. The music selection is definitely different. And the average age of guests is rapidly declining. But maybe there is still some hope — toga party?
Kollwitzplatz Markt
Saturdays. The beginning of the weekend. And also the time when local street markets comes alive. Yesterday we were at Kollwitzplatz Markt. It’s not huge, and probably is a 15 minute walk from one end to the other. It’s not the cheapest (you need to hit the Turkish market on Tuesdays and Fridays for that). But given that is about 4 blocks from our house, always a tasty beverage or snack to be had, or some extremely fresh produce, meat and/or dairy product, we like it. Today, the Gluhwein had emerged — a tasty hot red-wine based beverage with sugar and spice, perfect for the crisp winter upon us. A delightful treat indeed.
