OK... here goes, don´t drool 😇
Journal:
Monday: Chinese Ramen with Gilmore Girls & Chopsticks, walked A.Lot and made sport later.
Tuesday: Baked ..
... and you have...
Hmmmm, came out great. Loads of cheese... and sport.
Wednesday: sport and parcel for the Nieces - wee one´s Birthday today!!
(My art-add)
Crazy to write my surname after another female´s name still....
(My SIL has a double name and ... well. We don´t get along that good).
Announced the parcel at Bro´s and said I braved up and worked with 350C / 662F for it.
If I baked briquettes for her?! 🤣
OK. Afraid-of-heat-me explained what embossing is, right?
Thursday: toc-toc... the maintainance-guy cleans the hall, for everyone to hear, bumping at doors and all. Laundry dry and apart from sport I had 7 calls from my real estate guy.
Seven! The bill from my half-cousin for my tenant was... wrong!!!!
Yesterday... WhatsApp from Bro.
Half-Cousin spoke on HIS machine (different cities even!!!) complaining that ... Cuckoo-CUCKOO!
And what did HE do?! Called back and got the secretary who knew of nothing but said half-cousin will call me back... PLEASE, NOOOO.... I´m SO done.
Renting out and working with incompetent people is no fun. At all.
Friday: off to the city to get pressies as thank you for my real-estate man.
He´d called me another three times and wants no money for correcting the bill. I asked, "sweet or salty?" - he went for salty. Off to the Braunschweig-shop!
And I bought another tree books! As if I don´t have more than enough books anyways!!!
The ones to the side are crime stories, just novels, but based on Braunschweig.
The one in the middle. Cruel and sadly real crime stories.
They always remind me to not take lonely routes and take pepper foam with me.
Later: great movie.
Saturday: Ingo went grocery shopping and we made yummy Goulash (see pic #2) with red wine from scratch. Read more of Bill Bryson´s journey throughout Australia, sweet memories.
Sunday: After Die Maus Bill Bryson again.
As this is for Elizabeth´s "T Stands For Tuesday"...
Henry 🦁... is a bit puffed...
... he has no idea if he´s the kid or the Dad! The answer is ... of course:

I like the Maus in your journal!
Thank you - we watch every Sunday. Me since... I was aged... two?
Great post-your meal looks good Love your journal page too, and Henry Happy T wishes Kathy
I watch crime series on Television and am always talking/yelling at the silly people: Lock your door! Close your drapes. Don't walk outside in the dark and ask is anybody there, so someone can sneak behind you and get inside. They have all the lights on in the house and every window uncurtained so anyone at all can see in and see that they are home alone.
Your Goulash looks really good :)
Kathy, Henries and I say thank you :-)

River, LOL - I bet no one will break into your home :-)
I love Supernatural (in fact just resumed the series).
But... I admit... here... actually no one (but Ingo!!!) has curtains down! That´s what I love about the dark half of the year... you can see how others live like. Reckon this neighborhood is good. Just when I leave it I get scared easily.
Especially when a bunch of financial, male refugees show up (and call me "hello, you whore" in their language, assuming I cannot translate that online - OK, that happened but once, but similar events happened to me, too).
Don't think I ever want to be a landlady - way too many hassles dealing with tenants and Stuff :))
I always love reading your calendar pages and was delighted when you actually shared all the events of the week. Laughed at how you explained embossing. Always love seeing how you draw your laundry. Think this drink from Ingo sounds superb. I bet I'd love Mango and Lime together. Thanks for sharing your food, your calendar, and your week with us, including your Mango and Lime sparkling cider for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Margaret, sadly: yes. Especially when you don´t live there. And have no car.

Elizabeth, thank you :-)
Being without a job I feel the need to sketch down what I´m doing. Otherwise at the end of the week I have no idea no more!
And cooking/baking really became fun!
Just took after you and sewed!
Who can resist goulash?
Nobody :-)
Your food looks delicious. (Now I'm feeling hungry) Great journal art. And the "Henry" collage photo at the end is fantastic.
I still have some goulash left!
Henry did´t take any...! ;-)
...Iris, you sure have been busy.
Loving your food and Wow, that goulash looks so good, I'd love to try some - yum 😁. What a beautiful gift for your neices, the box alone would keep me happy - I'm very sad ...lol! Sounds like you've had a busy week, you need to relax like Henry 😉. Happy T Day! Hugs Jo x
Tom, yes, crazy, huh, being out of work!
_____
Jo, well, the goulash takes time, but is easy 😊
Better than my pressie was: she got the biggest piece of the cake, LOL. To cake, hugs x
fab illustrations in your planner pages- they keep getting better Iris!
You have had a busy week. So now you have new books to read and relax with:)
Your mango drink sounds really good. Happy T day!
Linda, really? I see no progress in the journal somehow. But thank you 😊 It sure will make me keep going!
The drink was yummy indeed. Not too sweet.
My mouth is watering. That food looks delicious! Happy T Tuesday
I still have some for tonight (goulash)!
Goulash sounds good for these overcast cloudy and rainy days.
Having the rest in a few minutes :-)
The goulash looks so good. I tried mushrooms with lemon again and used less lemon this time and it was so tasty. I can't wait to make it again!
Yumm! That goulash looks really tasty. Next time you make it, you'll have to invite me!
And onion cake! That looks really good!
I love how you decorated the parcel for your niece. Yes, you have come along way braving different heat situations.
My hubby just walked passed, looked over my shoulder and saw the kettle chips on your blog. He loves those, especially the type you bought with the cheddar cheese.
I've never had flavored cider, but mango and lime sound like a nice combination. Cheers.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
RedPat, yippeee- credit goes to Jamie Oliver, though :-)

Lisca, you´re always welcome (hahaha, Corinna....) no, really, it would be great to meet you in person!
And also... thank you. My "little" Brother didn´t say anything mean when back in 2011 I said I cannot cook. And now... :-) He wants me to make a lasagna for him!!!
Sad it took so long for me to brave up, but now I so enjoy all this!
Love also when our Hubbies take an interest in this hobby of ours :-)
So.... hugs and smiles from here!
Fun drawings in your journal. The goulash is making me hungry and it's still over 3 hours until dinner! I love that you made a lot so you didn't have to cook the following day. That's a win-win for me. Big and Little Henry. So cute. Happy T Day!
Isn't the answer always 42?
Goulash - oh yummy! It has been ages since I had that, probably back in Germany.
You have becomes quite the chef Iris. It all looks so good. And I totally understand about your niece having your surname. I find that with my niece, and my nephew's wife and baby. It's like, hey that's my name. If my last name wasn't so similar to my husband's I think I would have kept it. Hope it was a great T day. I'm late today getting by everyone's post. Hugs-Erika
Great journal pages.
The food all sounds yummy especially those chips! Sounds like a great combination-cheese and onion.
One can never have too many books!
I hope you try the watercolor cakes. Yes, you should rinse between each color unless you are mixing colors. Hope you get the courage to play around and give it a try.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Your food looks delish, Iris!
I think I will make goulash for dinner tonight.
Happy Wednesday!
Iris you always make me smile when I read your post, I agree about wondering what we did when I look back over the week so a great idea for a journal
Your goulash looks delicious, something I haven’t had for years
Happy T Day
Jan
CJ, sorry, hope you had a great dinner! Yes, we always make a big bunch. Also cheaper, toght, food- and energy-wise.
____
Carola, 42. Oh, wow, that´s a long Goulash-free time, I reckon!
____
Erika, yes, I try to see the positive about the job-loss! Today spinach-filo-pie!
Ingo´s surname is a real pain, LOL. He inofficially takes mine often, hence.
But when marrying he kept his! Hugs, we´re alla funny bunch :-)
____
Kate, the chips were quite... thick!
Why is it called cakes, I wonder.
Give me time, please. With really difficult things I procrastinate, sadly!!!!
____
Veronica, hope your goulash was as good :-)
____
Jan, go for both :-)
Happy to give you a smile :-)
Great journaling in your post and your journal. Sounds like an interesting week - especially regarding food and presents. Very sweet of you to get some very nice pressies for your real estate guy! I love kettle chips. The onion cake looks especially fun! Happy T-day a bit late, Iris.
Yes, weird, how the weeks fly by when just staying home!
The chips are quite thick!
Dito, a bit late, too, hopping over :-)
Cheese and onion was always my favourite crisp flavour. We have that same brand and flavour here but the packet is different I think. I will have to look next time I am in the crisp aisle at the supermarket. Love your journal pages, your washing, the Taj Mahal and the mouse especially. Time seems to be moving very quickly at the moment, I still don't really know what happened to September... or August lol Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
OMG this food looks soooooo good. Onion cake, wow never hear of it but sounds amazing.
I like your journal page.
The onion cake looks good.
All the best Jan
Wow! What a busy week you've had. Your food looks great...I like the sound of onion cake. Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
