Here's the Scotland Roadtrip report. And yeah, that weird language is Luxembourgish. The real pix will follow, this is just a small treat (Click HERE). They are more or less in a chronological order, georeferenced and all that other fancy stuff that you… more »

Detailed report about our roadtrip trough Scotland (in Luxembourgish) will follow, so will tons of pictures. Here's some general thoughts: -I finally know what it feels like to be on a high fat diet. Scottish breakfast is delicious, and so are the abso… more »

So I decided it was about time to write a bit more than the previous 5 word posts... At first I felt compelled to write (i.e. nag) about the extremely poor quality of Luxembourgish newspapers, but in the end I reckoned it has all been said already by me… more »

There is a lot of talk currently going on in Luxembourg and among its bloggers about the occupation of an old house in the heart of the city. Yesterday, the police broke in, cut the electricity and wrote down the names of the occupants, then left. The h… more »

The famous mon810 GMO maize got banned in Luxembourg, depite European regulations allowing its cultivation. I'm not mad about this per se. Mon810 is a somewhat useless crop, its reductions in pesticides are not significant and that's about all there is… more »

Another cooking Sunday! Another Luxembourgish favorite: Rieslingspaschtéit, basically a meat pie/terrine with Riesling, a white wine that's very common in Luxembourg. First off, you gotta prepare the pastry. For this you need 75g lard (Schmalz, I prepar… more »

Yeah I know the title doesn't make any sense. Anyways, since I really like rhubarb pies, I tried getting a decent recipe from my mother last Friday. As usual, I wasn't too satisfied with the two I got, so I combined elements from them and other I found… more »

Last Monday, we had nothing better to do than to bake 5kg of "Gromperenkichelcher", apparently called potato pancakes in the US, for some lucky 10 people joining Movie Mondays. This is a very famous recipe in Luxembourg and I was happy that I got some h… more »
