Well, you write well, and your observations are humanly very relatable. I relate too, since we lived in Istanbul 3 years. Funny, I prefer going to the store often to a 1 week or 2 week foray, which requires too much planning ahead, not to mention so much food going bad that I never got to.<br /><br />My friend who left NY said it costs something to live in NY. Obviously. But he meant it takes more than just money, it takes time and a great deal of energy to do everything, go where you have to go.<br /><br />You might like a book my daughter-in-law just gave me after I complained at being overwhelmed by food issues and options and nutrition, etc. "One Part Plant" by Jessica Murnane. It's a beautiful book, for one. And she apparently makes eating well pretty simple. I don't know how it translates to Switzerland, but maybe it would be a nice resource.<br /><br />And yikes, the cost of eating out there!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520877991255181281.post-11102569765149899502017-01-19T23:03:45.985-08:002017-01-19T23:03:45.985-08:00Happy New Year to you!

It's funny because I hadn't looked for a while since the laundry post and tonight I saw your blog name so checked to see if you had wrote again. glad you did. I like your kitchen but I am sure it takes getting used to. it is bigger than cooking in a camper which I did a lot in the 90's so I understand how you feel. that is funny about the Hausfrua, it has to be a novel??? LOL there are always untruths in them. are you sewing any projects? did you take fabric with you? or Is it readily available there? Take care, from IowaMelody A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05170460227433576519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520877991255181281.post-19030607113461353202017-01-14T07:50:19.238-08:002017-01-14T07:50:19.238-08:00p.s.

Things sound like a bit o...Lovely to hear from you!<br />Things sound like a bit of a challenge & a big change from your previous life. We lived for a month in France, I can relate to the difficulty of obtaining & preparing food. I am not the main cook in our little family, so my meals were flavored with a little frustration & a pinch of resentment. <br />I see you are out & about, absorbing the sights & sounds. I hope you are finding some time to sew.smazoochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716977786728589960noreply@blogger.com
