I’ve had people ask, “how do you do it?” By it, they refer to travel around, live everywhere, and see the world. Some people, friends even, think I’m a multi-millionaire. Sorry to disappoint, I am not. I’ve written a few finance posts, how to retire in your thirties, 9 ways to save $500 per month, […]
It is Monday afternoon in Colmar, and once again, Rust and I are piled on to the couch in our gite, working. It’s a gorgeous day outside, nearly 70 degrees and sunny. We were out and about earlier, on our daily two mile stroll. Today we meandered a bit on the way to the Monoprix, […]

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Made WITHOUT a mixer. And…in ONE BOWL. Actually, a pot. I had my doubts about this recipe, kids. We are still here in Thailand, and because a mixer is heavy, and carting said mixer in my already stuffed suitcase would have put it over the weight limit for the plane, […]
