Budapest, Hungary

This weekend I spent my time in Budapest with Mon. She was traveling with her study abroad program and I did not want to be all alone in Frankfurt for my birthday. Budapest was quite an interesting city. The way the mix of commercialism, tourism and local fashion crashed against the old post WW2 buildings was quite intense. It reminded me of Sarajevo a lot. Anyway, we had a great time exploring the city and visiting the touristy sites.

Frankfurt, Germany

Before I start my vacation I’m spending a few weeks working abroad with my team. During the first week I got to explore Frankfurt am Main. I was able to use my German for the first time since high school, and surprisingly I was able to accomplish small tasks. My first week can only be described by good beer, and my jaw hitting the floor upon seeing jarred hot dogs.

Green Garden

Mon’s garden exploded in an array of greenery. Most of the veggies have blossomed and some have started to turn.

Chile-Chocolate Mole with Mexican Millet

Using the Veganomicon as the holy grail of vegan cooking, we put together Chile-Chocolate Mole with Mexican Millet as our main dish. On the side we had a home grown salad. Both were amazing.
