      Food Market Valpariaso

      May 28, 2023 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Wir sind heute in aller Frühe nach Valparaiso gefahren. Zum Glück haben wir gelernt, dass hier der Tag später startet und die U-Bahn Sonntags erst um 8 startet und wir somit mit Uber zum Bus Terminal fahren mussten. Mit dem Bus ging es dann Richtung Küste.

      Vom Busterminal haben wir uns zum Laufen entschieden (30 Minuten bis downtown) und sind so auf einem fantastischen Obst- und Gemüsemarkt gelandet.

      Ich liebe es immer neues lokales Obst und Gemüse kennenzulernen. Schon öfter ist uns etwas aufgefallen, was wie eine kleine Aubergine aussieht. Der nette alte Mann sagte es sei eine Frucht der Name wurde aber mit Gurke übersetzt. Er schenkte uns eine zum probieren und der Moment des reinbeißen war genial. Die Frucht schmeckt super lecker, süß wie eine Melone, ohne Kerne und köstlich!      Read more

      The 21 day SUGAR detox

      May 4, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      Now is the perfect time to try out new things. New things like baking banana bread, grow out greasy hair or ... make a sugar detox!! 😬

      Kait did this special detox several times already. And since we ate a lot of junk food lately, she wanted to start it again. 💪🏻
      It sounded really interesting so I decided to give it a try. 🤩

      We celebrated our last evening in "freedom" with alcohol and Berliner. Starting the next morning, no sugar any kind (including wheat, etc.) were allowed to be eaten. ❌🍦❌

      To be honest: it wasn't easy most of the time. 😨
      I had the feeling that the rest of the group made very delicious dinner now without us, and Alex even made fluffy Berliner with a soft chocolate core inside!! 😡

      A lot of things contain sugar, even in products you would never expect it to be. 🙈
      But I liked to try out new recipes, new food like Quinoa and I could see many advantages: I wasn't craving for food any longer throughout the day!

      The 21 days have passed now.
      We tried new recipes. I failed with my Keto bread, but absolutely fall in love with Quinoa!! 💛🧡💚

      And I realised something: I ❤️ to bake!
      While traveling, it is not easy to find alternatives to bake without sugar and flour. For example, I was so happy when I found flea seed flour in a supermarket - but let's not talk about the costs. 😒

      I really enjoyed my time with Kait, to plan, to shop and to cook together with her. Buuuut ... I am happy to be back to some sugar and flour at least. Less meat and less cheese.
      And I am happy to be back to baking delicious desserts. 🥧🍰🍮
      => this actually inspired me to bake every sunday and upload it on my Instagram story...      Read more

      Adiós, Sofia!

      July 10, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      And today, it was time to say Goodbye and Adiós to Sofia! 😢
      Even tho I know that saying goodbye is always a sad thing, I hope to see Sofia again one day in Mexico! 💃

      Girl, thank you soo much for the wonderful time together at the MUFFIN hostel, the laughs, the tears we shared, the amazing food - Arepas, Gnocchis, Shakshuka, just to name a few! 🤤

      Sofia will first fly to Miami, the same flight that Mariel and I will take next week on our way to the Dominican Republic.
      Then she wants to see her sisters, family and later move to Mexico.
      And since my plan is to go to Mexico too, the chances are really high that we will meet again! ❤️

      Take good care, Amiga 😘      Read more

      Au Revoir, Tristan

      July 9, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      The next one of the Frenchis is leaving! 💔
      This morning before 10 am, Tristan left the MUFFIN to travel back to France. 😢

      He left us a note on the board, said goodbye to everone (especially to Sofia 😍) and then started his long travel back (over Frankfurt in Germany).

      He arrived safe and sound at his home and already sent us a picture together with his family, outside in the Garden.

      I hope to see you again one day Tristan, it was a pleasure to meet you, many thanks for all the fun moments together, the good food, also the french classes, the talks and of course our kitchen towel fights!! 😂😂😂      Read more

      Au Revoir, David

      July 3, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      The next of the Muffineros Survivors is leaving: David is flying back to France! 😢

      He will stay one night in the capital Santiago with a friend and then take the plane the next day. First to Sao Paolo in Brazil, then Frankfurt in Germany and afterwards to Paris in France. 🛬
      What a trip! 😳 But I guess that is traveling during Corona 🙄

      As a last good bye, I made a no-bake cake with a strawberry and cookie filling and used chocolate and almonds for the decoration around. 🍪🍫
      Actually I wanted to write something on top, but the chocolate letters didn't get hard enough to remove them from the paper. 🤔
      So I IMPROVISED ☝️ and used some left over Pomegranate seeds to form the word "BYE" instead. Sofia helped me to arrange the seeds with chopsticks. 🥢😁

      After eating the cake, we gathered at the door, where David hold a last speech, gave everyone a big hug (I saw some tears here 😭) and left the hostel with Bugra to go to the bus terminal. 🚌

      We all followed his last steps in Valparaiso from the windows of the MUFFIN Hostel and saw how Bugra said his final goodbye to David. 👋

      It's been some days now, David arrived in France all safe & sound and is probably already planning his next trip 🧭😉👍

      Thank you for the last month together, for the good and bad moments, the help when I messed up a dessert, letting me watch TopChef in french with you and Tristan, the Caramel, the hot chocolate, the delicious dinners, the french class on the terrace, the songs you played on the guitar and much more. 😂😂😂

      Tout le meilleur & prenez soin de vous, David! 😘      Read more

      Tristans B-DAY

      June 23, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Today on the 23rd, Tristan is turning 23! 🙊
      Time to celebrate this special day together. 🥳

      David made pancakes in the morning 🥞 and we all had breakfast together, until I had to leave and tutor German classes. 🤓

      Meanwhile, Sofia and Kait organized a scavenger hunt (Schnitzeljagd) for Tristan. They hid notes in the hostel and Tristan had to follow the trail. 🐾
      Step by step, he found a mask, money and, as a final task, should go out with Sofia to buy alcohol for the bday party in the evening.
      We just didn't noticed that the kiosk on the other side of the street was closed. 🙈

      Later that day, we played Twister that Kait & Sofia designed (it's hard to see the colour on the pictures) and we had so much fun!! 😂

      Tristan had wanted empanadas for dinner. We ate together and played other party games afterwards - I don't go much into details, just say balloons 😂🙈😉

      Last but least, we had a no bake birthday cake that I made earlier. Tristan wanted to blow out the candles, but Sofia was accidentally faster. 😂😂😂

      Tristan - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - and may you have a wonderful year without Corona 😑☝️      Read more

      Last BBQ together

      June 27, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      We had our last night-BBQ all together, since David will leave next week. And the week afterwards Sofia and (maybe) Tristan! 🤭🤫 Tristans flight back to France got canceled twice already - but that's a different story ...

      The time together in the MUFFIN hostel is coming to an end and therefore we celebrate our times together even more! 🥳

      Bugra started the bbq with Choripan and bread on the grill and Mariel made Rotkohl German Style earlier to go on top of it all 🌭 - DELICIOUS as always ❤️

      I will really miss those get-togethers out on the terrace 😢      Read more

      Roof Top Party

      June 21, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      We started the Sunday Funday at 4.30 pm already with a nice afternoon cocktail! 🥃

      Later that day, we could convince Bugra to go on the roof! 🤓
      It is not so safe, but we promised to be really careful and keep our drinks on the terrace!
      And it's Southamerica ... what is safe here anyways?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

      One person was holding the ladder and then the another person could climb up.

      I was the last and took Tristans phone and a speaker with me. So the party could continue on THE ROOF!! 🥳🥳🥳

      Afterwards, we ordered chicken at KFC, because Schmariel Mariel was too lazy to prepare the Pumpkin Soup and this kind of food fits better to being drunk anyways ... 😍😋🍗      Read more

      Alex 'Golden Birthday'

      April 22, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Alex is turning 22 today: his Golden Birthday!! 🥳

      It's such a honor, that he's celebrating it with us, instead of traveling around and spending time with other people! Just kidding ... he has no other chance because of #fuckingcorona 😂

      David came up with the idea to ask a local climbing place if they would open up for one day for him, since he's a big fan of climbing. We contacted them on Instagram and luckily they allowed Alex and one other person to enter and climb!

      Kait and I were looking for some 'golden' decoration stuff at a chinese store close to the hostel and I designed the birthday card as well as the "entry ticket" and let everybody sign it secretly.

      At the breakfast table, we gave Alex his present, so he had enough time to ask a friend to join him climbing later this day. He was happy as hell! 😊

      Sofia made a dish called Mangu for dinner (smashed platanos, salami, eggs, cheese and onions) and the French Guys made delicious Rösti Burger for dinner for us. 😋

      Not just Alex enjoyed his 'Golden Birthday', we all had a wonderful day! 🧡💛💚      Read more

      Hostel under water

      June 29, 2020 in Chile ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      It was raining heavily around noon today! In between it even hailed!! 😱

      I just finished my only lessons online when it started. It rained in the kitchen under the door and on the side where a glass in the window is missing.

      We immediately got towels to stuff the hole and buckets and mops to wipe up the water. 🌊

      The water ran down the walls and dripped from many spots inside the hostel, we set up pots and moved the furniture. 🌧️

      In the living room a large glass is also missing in the window and a lot of water came in. We covered the electronics with a plastic bag and hoped for the best.

      Tristan and Sofia were outside to buy some things. Luckily, they could hide inside a store and didn't get that wet!! 🏃🏃🏽‍♀️

      We are waiting for everything to dry, outside is the perfekt weather now, with a lot of sun and blue sky ... 🤷🏼‍♀️😐🙄      Read more
