Christoph à Montréal
A couple weeks ago, A and Truepenny took Christoph to see the sights in Montréal.
Overall, nous avons passé de bonnes vacances!
Christoph and Truepenny have settled into their new home, where Truepenny will be pursuing her MA in English. Though they will both be very busy, Christoph hopes he will stop neglecting his blog!
Ice, ice, baby.
Once again, Christoph apologizes for his prolonged absence from the interweb. He’s a busy little elephant and has been spending the month eating yummy food and being cool. He got himself some ice, as you can see.
About a month back, Christoph joined Truepenny and A up at A’s cottage for some relaxation and good eats over Reading Week. He helped them try their hand at making sushi for the first time!
The whole meal consisted of salmon rolls & nigiri, eel rolls & nigiri, miso soup and, when we tired of rolling, we just tossed some salmon, eel and other ingredients in a bowl with rice. And champagne to celebrate our culinary accomplishment (though of course Christoph is too young to partake of such things!).
Overall, it was rather delicious for a first attempt. The rice of course was really the difficult part, and A did a fine job of not messing up what Truepenny likely would have.
On the less sophisticated end of the spectrum, Christoph and Truepenny also made chocolate-chip-peanut-butter-cup cookies!
Mmm. Maybe not as fancy as sushi, but very delicious!
Though it’s essay season for Truepenny (which results in many nights in for both her and Christoph) Christoph promises to take better care of his blog!
You’ll hear from him again soon!

I saw the sky and sea and sand and the flickering flames of the bonfire through my tears. All at once, it rushed into my head with tremendous speed, and made me feel dizzy. It was beautiful. Everything that happened was shockingly beautiful, enough to make you crazy.

Als das Kind Kind war,
wußte es nicht, daß es Kind war,
alles war ihm beseelt,
und alle Seelen waren eins.

When the child was a child,
it didn’t know it was a child,
everything was soulful,
and all souls were one.

(Christoph has noticed that he often gets the same Jones Soda fortune – maybe they should think of some new ones. Or perhaps he just has to save a life)
