Pasta ai Gamberi Piccanti 🔥
Harry and I love to cook and eat delicious food. Admittedly, Harry does most of the cooking (and eating). Still, my newest category will be named “My Kitchen”. 😉
Let’s start out with a very simple recipe for our favourite pasta dish. 🍝😋
“Spicy shrimp pasta” describes this dish correctly but we thought, an Italian name might sound a tad more glamorous, hence the title. 🤣 (Thanks for helping out, Ludovica. 😘)
It is not a typical Italian pasta dish, of course, because Harry kind of invented it himself many years ago.

Unhooding My Maritime Style
Yes, I was born in China and my name sounds Italian. Yet, I’m a “Norddeutsche Deern”, a girl from Northern Germany.
Because not only did I fall in love with my husband when I got here but also with the the wide, flat countryside and, of course, the North Sea to which we shall return in April.
I am also quite fond of clothing with maritime themes and motifs which I plan to wear when going on holiday again.
This hoodie dress, for instance. Okay, it reads “Atlantic Ocean” but as the North Sea is geographically a part of it, I think I can still wear this.

Heart Of The Ocean (Part 2)
🎼 Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Continue reading Heart Of The Ocean (Part 2)🎼 Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you′re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Heart Of The Ocean (Part 1)
Cal insists on carting this hideous thing everywhere.
Should we be expecting him anytime soon?
Not as long as the cigars and brandy hold out.
That’s nice. What is it, a sapphire?
A diamond. A very rare diamond. Jack, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls. Wearing this.
All right.
Wearing only this!
😲

New Year’s Banquet
On New Year’s Eve, I wore this super-sexy little black dress for the XMädn New Year’s Banquet: an “O-Ring Cut Out Tie Backless Halter Bodycon Dress”.
I admit it’s quite an ordeal to put it on. It took me two attempts to have everything the right way around, to be honest. 😂
Also, you need to be sure to lace it up really tightly so that nothing will run free at the front. 😉
Obviously, it’s not a dress to wear every day. It really takes a special occasion to feel sexier than ever.

Kaiserin Sissy
I was once asked as to whether I was nicknamed “Sissy” after Empress Elisabeth of Austria whose nickname was actually “Sisi”.
However, in Germany, she’s better known as “Sissi” due to three very popular movies from the 1950s, featuring Romy Schneider as “Sissi”.
Well, in my case, “Sissy” is only short for “Sicily”.
Yet…
At the XMädn New Year’s Banquet, I was crowned “Triple Crown Queen” for winning all three “Majors” within a season.
