Conference mugs!!! 😱🤩🥰

#DigitalPalates

Warning honey sticker and drawing of a bee on a big package

Picked up a big box from the post office with a "warning honey" sticker on it. Any guesses what's inside? (Hint: not honey!)

also, how is it possible that this is in three weeks only and I still have one scholarship committee weekend, a secret mission (more about this next week 🕵️‍♀️), and a (vacation) trip to Paris beforehand 🥲

Digital P(a)lates: pixel-fruits getting cut up

I just got an email about the "Digital P(i)lates" conference, sounds like a very interesting event too 😅

ICE ist müde, ICE macht Pause

That's what it is? 😱

Train platform, windows, blue sky

I don't want to alarm you but the sky has a weird color and it's oddly bright?! 🫠

putting the final touches on my part of a publication workshop that I'm teaching with colleagues from literature studies and didactics this Friday 🤓 Looking forward to find out about all the small and big differences between publication cultures 📚

A pile of different packaged goods

One of the best things about being a #LanguageAndFood scholar: guests bring you delicious goodies from around the world. Here's the very generous stash gifted by a visitor from Japan 😇

painstakingly cut 800 words from a 8,800 word submission, I feel like this is already worthy of a line in my CV...

A box of individually wrapped caramels with a list of tastes and descriptions

Not the biggest fan of caramel usually but look at this selection of tastes and meticulous descriptions of each 🤯

A baking dish filled with bubbling lasagna, cheese melted on top

Last bit of food content for the weekend, I swear, but this green lasagna from Lugma turned out too gorgeous to not share it 🥄

Two bowls of homemade bibimbap

It's bibimbap o'clock 🍚

I'm afraid not...I really wanted to go but can't be away from my classes that much during the term 😔

would love to see you there! 😊
