After reading River´s lovely story on " Wednesday's Words on a Friday" featuring Khoral Kai again my mind was pondering and I can tell a (true) story, too.
This week's words/prompts are:
1. love 2. happiness 3. chocolate 4. single 5. dinner
and or:
1. hate 2. sadness 3. lemon 4. attached/double 5. breakfast
1. love 2. happiness 3. chocolate 4. single 5. dinner
and or:
1. hate 2. sadness 3. lemon 4. attached/double 5. breakfast
Here goes:
It was P´s Birthday. 2002 or such.
She baked muffins. Chocolate, and maybe lemon in some, too. Sweet.
For breakfast at work.
Can you imagine my happiness, when I found some PIZZA-muffins she baked - just for me but I shared with those who could not believe something like that even exists!
I didn know, either!!!
That´s when your friend loves you, right, you get the "extra"!
Low-carb recipe here (with video, so you don´t need to know the German language).
I have to use this one twice: Love.
She got married, Ingo and I even learned to dance for the occasion.
Our pressie:
Some money-shirts on a mini laundry rack Ingo built from chopsticks, and a small boat, too.
She never wanted kids but then ... double... two girls!
She even had so much confidence in me she went to take a loooong shower, leaving me with the twins when they already could crawl!!! Meeep, help!!! (all went well).
One of them was very attached to my zipper, a fascinating thing!
Dinner was fun, too with them, by golly!
Her Hubby.
His heart was sick, he took medicine, lived healthy.
My friend was directly at VW, I was but external.
When the Diesel-affair hit my VW-project was cancelled and I went to "my" company internally - YES, no more driving to Wolfsburg, WALKING to work it was!!!
But, what Ingo also told me of others... VW is a family and I didn´t belong no more...
I hated to lose a friend due to this. But she quit contact.
One day sadness hit me deeply.
She e-mailed me a couple of weeks after the "incident" when she came home with the by now 5-year-old girls and found her Hubby on the sofa. His heart had stopped beating.
I offered help, but she didn´t take it.
Reckon she is now a single Mum.
And yes. I contacted her a couple of times again. No answer... Sad... I still wish her well.
Henry 🦁
Hope they are well... and yes, I think of her from time to time.
We really were friends.
When "we" cooked she could´t believe I´d never done that before!
She´s my little Brother´s age and had to teach me!
Don´t throw your friends away, no matter what job the have...
I am external again, but ALSTOM is a different kind of family, I am 100% accepted as a colleague.
Two posts today, one to smile about here!

I love your story but I am sad you lost that friend. The pizza muffin sounds interesting.
Yes, I am sad, too. We went through much together. We helped each other. I have no understanding for why a job makes a difference.
And I wonder. If I was directly at ALSTOM... would she accept me again (well, then I wouldn´t want it).
This is a pic of "my" pizza muffin, it´s low carb and really yummy! Here is the (German) recipe: yummmm - with video, so you need no German. Must bake some again, too!
Unfortunately these things seem to happen, more often than we'd think.
Yes, both. Friendship and death...
...yummy!
Iris "Active" describes any dry yeast that needs to be activated prior to use, while "instant dry yeast" describes any dry yeast that's ready for use the instant you open the package. So most breads with active yeast needs warm water 110°F and a bit of sugar set in a bowl for 5 minutes or so. If it is instant yeast it is ready to use right in the flour. Anyway that is how I use it. Great post today too.
It just says "dry yeast"!!! So I reckon it´s the second and come March and all the stress work-wise is gone I give it a go! :-)
Thank you big, Nicole!
Post, well, true story...
Sometimes things like that happen. You still have the memories though.
Yes, Bill. So sad, though...
yum, muffins are always welcome here. I use to make chocolate banana muffins for my children when they were growing up to put in their school lunches, now I make the odd keto muffins with eggs, bacon etc.
Amy, odd any YUMMY!!!!
