Merry Christmas

December 22, 2005

I’m in Berlin to eat Weihnachtsgans and crack my teeth on Springerle and see this for the first time and drink tea with my mother and listen to little boys in sailor suits sing Christmas carols on the radio. It is dark and cold outside, and I am loving every minute of it.

I won’t be posting much because a dial-up connection, when you’re used to high-speed Internet, is enough to make any normal person scratch their eyes out and that is NOT the spirit of the holiday season, IS IT? Besides, I’m embarrassed to admit that after years of getting used to the abomination that are PCs, I am woefully unskilled to use my mother’s Apple. I hang my head in shame.

You still have a few days to donate to A Menu for Hope and enter the pot for some fabulous prizes. We’ve raised an amazing amount of money so far. Thank you! Have a safe and peaceful holiday.

Have a wonderful new year Luisa! Looking forward to reading more of The Wednesday Chef…on a side note, as I have to work both with Apple and PC’s, their different keyboard shortcuts are killing me on a constant basis. 😉

Hey Luisa,
I don’t know if you’re still in Germany, but as one who uses a Mac with Typepad, I can tell you that the issue is the browser. Neither Safari nor Explorer for the Mac work well with Typepad’s interface — you would have to write in HTML for it to be successful. I use Mozilla as the browser and it works very very well with Typepad. I think Firefox can also be used. Hope this helps!

Julie – I’m back, but thank you so much for your comment – it will absolutely be useful the next time I visit her or if I’m ever working on a Mac. Thanks a million!
