Ikea – The Same in Every County
Ikea again. Even in English Ikea can be a confusing, convoluted store to navigate. Trying to figure out how to purchase a wardrobe without being able to read any of the tags or speak to the sales sucked.
This blog was originally called "Überall," which means "everywhere" or "everything" in German. It made sense at the time, since I was writing about my time abroad. Once I moved back, it didn't work as well. With the addition of a space, a letter, and an apostrophe, it is now much more appropriate for my new locale.
In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.
