time loss, weight gain

today the day loses 1 hour
daylight saving time


meine Eieruhr (oder Sanduhr) - meine Küche
my egg-timer (sand clock) - my kitchen
reloj de arena - mi cocina

and an hour less or an hour more
we cannot stop the pass of time
here my little 3 minute sand-clock
i use it for brewing teas and running eggs
and every time it dances up-side down
i know i have 3 minutes less
or have gained 3 more...

but not all is lost, some is gained!

and since i have been eating very well
i have gained some pounds!!

this morning's "light" breakfast
mein "kleines" Frühstück
mmm, latkes...
those potato pancakes,
eggs and wheat pancake
plus sauces, not so light, i think...
oh the coffee was great though
Peet's Garuda Blend



last night's 3rd dinner
a delicious Double Chocolate Stout
an indulgent Bier beer cerveza



at the end all balances itself out
what??!! noooo...

Bonjour Bere,

Had a look at those latkes. Looks good, too good. But unless you are a dock yard worker carrying 50 kg sacks on your back I would refrain from having this on an ordinary week day.

As to time, have this Latin proverb:
"tempus fugit".

Die Zeit sie eilt im Sauseschritt
und wir, wir eilen mit.

Cheers, Bere, hope the Californian sun is back as it rains here without end. Spring ended, winter is back.

Georg

Buenas tardes Georg

you are very right with the latkes, they are not so good for you! and indeed i am not a dock yard worker, that's the reason for the 'gain', for 3 days in a row i had this breakfast and oh boy! my pants are way tighter now, now i have to get rid of the couple of kilos that i put on during my 'recovery' era

oh and great quote on time Georg, danke sehr! i had to check my German dictionary since i didn't some words at first glance, but now i know, danke! great words

and on the sunny California, yeah! it is very sunny and unusually warm these days, but hey! we chant no Victory yet... we have a storm scheduled for this weekend, oh the gray days, i guess travel all the way from France to the United States

thank you?? for promptly sharing your winter! heh heh

gracias as usual for your kind words Georg!

Bonjour Bere,

I took the liberty to mention your blog in mine. Here, where you showed your breakfast. I imagine it might be of interest to show those many different ways to eat in the morning.

Georg
