Buckwheat Pancakes
Buckwheat Pancakes
I made buckwheat pancakes. I followed the recipe from the Joy of Cooking.
For Women
When I was at the bookstore yesterday, I picked up a brochure for the latest math and science books released by one publisher because, even though I do not have strong German reading ability, I do have an interest in books about math and science. This duo of books caught my eye:
Left: Mathematical formulas for engineers and scientists. Right: Mathematical formulas for female engineers and scientists.
The “female” one is the same price, and has the same content plus a supplementary section with addresses of organizations, and “Karrieretipps”.
The cover art is ill advised. I know very few (though some) engineers and scientists who would identify with it.
Several questions come to my mind: Who thought of this idea? Who approved the cover art? Why not put the supplementary section in the regular addition? What about other categories of people who may encounter challenges in their career in math and sciences, such as gay or blind people? Does it work?
North of Bernauer
News of a new coffee place made us go just slightly outside of our usual wanderings. This area we never go to corresponds exactly with where Wedding is on the map below.
We often go north of Eberswalder and Danziger, but never go north of Bernauer.
This tip of the neighbourhood Wedding is quite different from the places we normally spend time, I assume because the Berlin Wall put Wedding in West Berlin. The buildings are taller, but the stories in them are shorter. There is a greater distinction between residential and commercial streets. It just not very cool.

Water dreams
Last night I had a dream that the city was flooding. It rained and it rained, and the building I was in was surrounded by water up to the 2nd storey. The first storey windows began to leak, so we went upstairs. From the 2nd storey window, I could see the entire city, and most of it was covered in water. I could see the place where my house should be, and the neighbourhood was now a lake.
We didn’t try to save anyone, including ourselves. There was no panic, no worry, no action.
This all made sense at the time, but now I’m haunted, wondering where all the water came from, and how it overcame us so quickly.

I successfully turned the heel. Now I’m in the home stretch, which also happens to be the boring part. I may take a break from these for a while
