Have found out today that (not very close) relatives (and their kids - and the kids they took care of at that moment, they run a childcare thing) in Canada have been victims of a hate crime (a while ago, it took a while to reach me), prompting them to give up on the childcare business thing.

I just feel freaking empty.

Today I learned that in Greece you celebrate your name day by giving other people cake!

My current master student has a PhD offer 🎉🎉🎉

(I don't have many master students since we are not a teaching institution...)

Being an adult means realizing that while you love cat-sitting, having an actual cat will not work for you, because OMG, a week and there is so much cat hair! Everywhere!

@oliverandrich @vicgrinberg then get a dog and never wash your floors again 😂 we picked our floors by taking a handful of the pet hair off our floors and sprinkling it over the samples and then picking the one that you couldn't see the hair on very well 😂it's brilliant

Liebe Leute, lasst den Sarkasmus in den Kommentaren, kommt nicht an (außer sehr selten und klar gekennzeichnet als solcher, zB mit "/Sarkasmus" oder ähnlichem - und selbst dann ist es bei manchen Themen absolut nicht angebracht).

Und versucht es nicht, in sozialen Medien, mit Ironie oder Witzen, die irgendwie missverstanden werden können, bei Leuten, die ihr nicht (gegenseitig und am besten lange!) sehr gut kennt.

@vicgrinberg Wie ist diese eine Textzeile in einem Lied in meiner Sammlung?

If I wouldn't be lying, I wouldn't be talking....

So ähnlich gehts mir mit Sarkasmus...

vicgrinberg,
@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social avatar

@schnedan dann ist halt "not talking" oft die bessere Alternative. Bei weitem.

Did I mention how much I love Fuchsia Dunlop's "Every Grain of Rice"? I'm pretty sure I did, but I want to repeat it. By far my favorite cookbook at the moment. Such flavourful recipes, so easy to make (the subtitle of the book is "simple chinese home cooking") and I'm learning so much!

Today, I tried two new to me ingredients: tofu skin and fermented tofu making tofu bamboo with spring onion flavoured oil (yum!) and spinach with fermented tofu (yum! yum!).

@froebmen@sueden.social avatar

@vicgrinberg Danke! Ulm hat seit kurzem auch einen „grossen“ Asiamarkt. Guter Tofu ist definitiv mal ein Grund dort auf Suche zu gehen.

vicgrinberg,
@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social avatar

@froebmen ich habe das letzte mal in dem großen Asia-Marktsehr viel eingekauft (das meiste nach Empfehlungen aus dem oben genannten Buch) und noch nicht alles davon probiert, war es aber auf jeden Fall wert!

The Japanese market was a lot fuller than expected and I managed not to buy a used kimono (even though they were very pretty)

Harten Lesestoff sollte mensch nicht für dunkle Tage lassen - daher ist heute ein guter Tag für "Terror gegen Juden" von #RonenSteinke.

Das Buch ist 250 Seiten lang: 140 Seiten Text, 100 Seiten Chronik - eine Auflistung der einzelnen Taten (manche werden zusammengefasst, wie die 36 Friedhofsschändungen '99), Quellen.

Mal gucken, wie lange ich dafür brauche.

"Wir Juden reden nicht gern darüber, so werden wir erzogen, und so geben wir es auch weiter an unsere Kinder. Über die ständige Bedrohung wir in de jüdischen Gemeinden nicht offen mit Außenstehenden gesprochen. Man möchte keine Nachahmer auf dem Plan rufen, heißt es, wenn wieder wohlmeinende Journalisten abgewimmelt werden, oder einfach und ehrlich: Man wolle in der Öffentlichkeit nicht immer als Opfer dastehen."

"Weißt du, wir sind Juden, und wir haben die Pflicht zu zeigen, trotz der Geschichte, trotz aller Verfolgung: Wir sind da."

"Es ist ein winziger jüdischer Mikrokosmos gewesen, in meiner Kindheit [NB: es sind die 80er Jahre] gab es gerade einmal 30000 Juden in Ost- und Westdeutschland."

Somewhere between last weekend and this weekend I've lost the brush attachment for the hand vacuum cleaner. Somewhere in the 80 square meters of this house. I've been searching for hours now. And yes, this is causing me a significant amount of distress. (yay brains, why can't they just let stuff like this go?)

@vicgrinberg This often happens to me as well. I think they run off for fun.

Very happy that the okonomiyaki stand is now a fixture at the Leiden market 😊

vicgrinberg,
@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social avatar

@clear_dusk haha, yes! We often only think "sushi" when it comes to Japanese, but there is a lot more to the cuisine. Their curries can be also very strong ...

The world is pretty shitty right now and I have a long weekend, so let me try to make the world a bit better: who wants a hand made aquarelle postcard and a book recommendation?

You don't get to choose the card (and I don't yet know what I feel like painting) but you can tell me what kind of book and in which language you want 😊

I'll be happy when I make the card and you when you received it so we get a net win in happiness together 💚

grb090423,
@grb090423@mastodon.social avatar

@vicgrinberg

✋ please.

My choice would be any kind of historical, space-related or scientific book, in English.

@vicgrinberg - It is a long weekend here in Canada as well: Monday is Victoria Day. Your power and reach are impressive!

The new hummus place in the city is as good as everyone said it was. Also suuuper friendly - since I was there with a colleague with a rather unhappy kid...

MaiKueper,
@MaiKueper@mastodon.social avatar

@vicgrinberg I had the best hummus last week as well! At Fräulein Wagner in Munich.

meticu,

@vicgrinberg Came here to ask about the Hummus, accidentally found an astrophysicist. I sat here staring at the image mentally noting my guess at the ingredients to craft it myself. Found the website for some more inspiration.

You can't even imagine how much I was looking forward to some ironing & a good series today...

@jthomi@legal.social avatar

@vicgrinberg I’m not doing much ironing here, but I am responsible for folding all laundry, and yes, that can be really relaxing and head cleaning.

vicgrinberg,
@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social avatar

@jthomi yes, exactly this! (I could live without ironing most of my stuff, but I actually find it relaxing, so ...)
