Love, Love, Love

Got this thank-you-chocolate heart from the "good" grocery at the beginning of the year.
Don´t like sweets, it sits, as the Easter-chocolate-bunny from W, in the board...
Ingo isn´t allowed sweets from doctor´s order so... Nieces do not visit, hmmmm. 
But it´s nice, eh, love is always good...
 


Ingo has a variety to cook (with love), see here:


So stay tuned for more yummy food and meanwhile...



On a t-shirt I took but a pic of - I´m "good", huh? Don´t need to have everything.
And just yesterday Ingo asked me which size I had at a shop he ordered the summer-Gurri for me to order another surprise... aaaaargh!

Henry 🦁


To a great Thursday! And some love.
 
P.S. as I read on one blog I remember I wanted to share this: I nearly fell off the chair yesterday, watching the news!
They had a report, not on Corinna, but on... Groundhog day!!!! In the official news! And for years I thought it´s but a movie!


Please, if we have a German Phil... no more cold days, please, shadow or not!

We do :-)

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Yes, Iris. Phil, the groundhog is very famous. The mayor of the town brings him to the town square after the prediction. Unfortunately, he is only right about half the time.

Nancy Chan said...

I love chocolates. Yeah! All we need is love. I don't know whether I could handle that big chopper. The knives look sharp. Ingo must be a very good chef. Awww ...love the Henry hug.

Iris Flavia said...

Elizabeth, yes, but in the German evening news?! LOL!!!

Nancy, Ingo can handle these super sharp knives - I have to be veeeeery careful.

Tom said...

...after seeing Ingo's knife collection, I would not want to be around him when he's angry!

Our nearest groundhog getting put through this by a bunch of idiots in top hats is a fellow named Wiarton Willie.

Mae Travels said...

The original small animal "weather forecasters" were in Germany! The German immigrants to Pennsylvania transferred their custom to the groundhog around 200 years ago. The European/religious holiday is Candlemas. There are other groundhogs in the US and Canada -- less famous than Phil-- that have a better record of "predicting" if we will have 6 more weeks of winter. Here in Michigan we almost always have 6 more weeks of winter after Feb. 2.

My wife gets crazy for chocolate, I don't ....
I often make her find chocolates in the various rooms of the house. she always complains: "I don't want to put on weight" but after one minute all the chocolate has been eaten!

William, what a name!

____

Mae, yes, they told so in the news. Still... is this something for the evening news?!

____

Black Knight, I can send it all over ;-)

Divers and Sundry said...

"Don't like sweets"?! That's a foreign language to me ;)

Phil is only right about 40% of the time, so it's more fun than useful lol

Iris Flavia said...

Divers and Sundry, I´m the hearty one, Pizza, chips, anything cheese... etc, not healthy, either, LOL.

Bill said...

Those knives are very scary looking. It would make a great murder mystery cover. :)

Iris Flavia said...

Please no, I live here ;-)

RedPat said...

I am more a salty carb fiend than a sweet fiend too. So candies last a long time around me.

Jeanie said...

I LOVE his big cleaver -- I want one of those.

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, welcome :-)

Jeanie, I think it´s even original Japanese!

Groundhog Day is an insane tradition in North America that just doesn't want to die.

Lovely! The Beatles song took me back. Hadn't heard it in a long time. I can even remember the days when you could by 45s. Remember those? One song on each side (A and B sides). I think "Baby, You're a Rich Man" was on the B side.

At Home In New Zealand said...

That is a great assortment of cutters - I have a cleaver like that big one, it used to belong to my father and he would use it when butchering an animal.

CJ Kennedy said...

Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog who predicts whether we will have 6 more weeks of winter or an early Spring is a very big deal especially where he lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. All the news channels add a bit of the festivities on Ground Hog's Day. Something fun while we all wait for 6 more weeks of Winter.

Ingo is so sweet. What a keeper.

My name is Erika. said...

No groundhogs in Germany. I believe that is where the people who started this "tradition" are from. But I doubt this groundhog and a shadow is anything more than a fun game. Hope it was a good Thursday. Happy Friday!

River said...

That big cleaver looks too heavy for me. I love that tiny motorbike, I have a similar one in gold. Is your a Harley Davidson?
I love chocolate :)

peppylady (Dora) said...

It cold here this week in North Idaho.
Coffee is on and stay safe

Iris Flavia said...

David, it looked like a fun party (crazy in these times, though).

____

Spare Parts and Pics, of course I remember the 45s! And vinyl comes back, too, crazy.

____

Margaret, uo-oh, hope Ingo isn´t up to that!

____

CJ, it sure was a party they showed on TV - too many without mask and distance, though.
Yes, Ingo sure can be the sweetest.
____

Erika, yes, it was a hedgehog, they said in the news, but the tradition died over here.
Yes, it was a party they showed on TV!

____

River, I won´t use that cleaver, either!
Yes, that is a model of our Harley. She was two-colored, though, but exact that model.
Sad we sold her.
Sad we´re not neighbors, I´d bring the chocolate over :-)

Dora, a bit warm here, yipeeee.
