Mein Deutsch ist auch nicht so schön, weil ich aus Taiwan bin. Leider habe ich noch keine besondere Rezepte für Sauerkraut mit Wurst - wir verbrauchen sehr wenig Sauerkraut. Meine Familie mag lieber Kimchi. My German is also not very good because I am from Taiwan. My family loves Kimchi much...

Hi, I would like to open a thread here and share our days in a small town in Germany. I used to post with photos (in both TEG and BYC) but didn't really know if it was proper. English is my second language - enough for communication but far away from a native speaker. So, allow me to use a bit...

I have that feeling, quite different from TEG. :love

I will go to the garden, observe plants and play with our hens, quails, cats, and dogs, make some good dishes, write real letters to friends, etc. As bay said, things will go out of our control, but we still hold the key to the decision - there would be bad moments, but not necessarily the...

And a scarf helps, too. I should have wear hats more often in winter, when the temperature and pressure changed, the headache can so easily get me.

This year, we also tried multi-layers of blankets on the sofa and in the bed, which was very useful. Two thinner jackets also did better than a thick one.

Bay!! I hate shopping too!!! The way I bought clothes after moving to Germany (and started work from home) -- figuring out what is cozy and easy to clean/care --> buying three to five same pieces when there is a special offer. :lol:

Being frugal with purposes is a lot of fun! I love it. After moving to Germany, my life is very much changed. I enjoy cooking, but I always had plenty of choices when I lived in Taiwan, where street food can be found almost everywhere. As a freelancer working from home, I started gardening...

I love piggyback cooking! Especially we share most of our ingredients with dogs/cats/chickens/quails - very limited things go straight to the compost heaps.

Love it, too! Carcasses and giblets are all beloved items here - they all came from lives sacrificed for us so I always try my best to make the maximum use from them.

Yes bay, I saw many interesting topics. :love

I also dreamed of a food forest a few years ago when we bought the house and finally had our own garden. But I changed my mind. Self-sufficiency is meaningful, no doubt. However, when the food forest produces tons of food, it might not always be joyful for everyone. Harvesting seasonal and...

Hey, I also followed him for years, and he is really an experienced farmer. I learned a lot from him, including breaking many gardening myths.

Hi all, this is Phaedra from Germany. I live with my family in a small town near the border between Germany and Belgium. Nice to participate and interact with you.

I also did all the items on the list. One more helpful thing - do the grocery after a good meal - this helps to eliminate unnecessary spending on heavily processed food.
