My two months in Singapore concluded with a super quick trip to Taipei just to high five William. But wait, there was more!
3 Weeks of Biking: The Danish Part
SO! It took a little planning and a little patience, but in early August Jana and I were finally able to set out on our summer adventure: biking from Copenhagen to Oslo. And I am not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best journeys ever! Wait and see.
Go Put Some Carrots in a Cake
So… there was mostly travel here, lately, and barely any food. But I am about to change that right now! Here is a recipe for my all time favorite cake.

When I made the dough, I was a bit underwhelmed, because the coconut taste didn’t come through at all. My taste-tester and baker’s little helper said the same, so we had to do something about that.
