Food and baked goods

[schneefink]

I met up with a few of my former colleagues to a goodbye dinner (and later drinks) for one of them. I was very happy to be invited, I didn't manage to keep in touch as much as I wanted, and it was a nice time.
I also found out that my fears about how that company might develop were not only well-founded but that apparently things went even worse than I anticipated, so I'm even more glad I left when I did.

I'm currently baking muffins, both as a thank-you to my neighbors for keeping my herbs alive while I was away and as a welcome home gift to my mom who's coming back from vacation but mostly because it's been a long time since I baked anything and I missed it. It's been so long that I forgot I have a new mixer. I don't remember when or how I got it but apparently I have a new mixer, which is good because I've wanted one for a while, so I'm not going to question it.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet with that company - huzzah for muffins and mysterious new mixer!

I think I remembered where I got the mixer from? I think I got it from my mom. Not sure but that seems the likeliest option ^^

When in doubt, it's safe to assume "thing you don't remember getting" was some sort of gift - that's usually my own go-to guess 😅

It's a lot more likely that I got it as a gift and forgot than that I actually went and bought it and forgot ;)

Great to get validation for your (correct) decision to leave when you did.

And hurrah for a mixer! ;D

Indeed.
Clearly I need to celebrate this by making more muffins soon!

*snort* Ich will auch random neue Küchengeräte in meiner Küche finden!

Gut, dass dein Bauchgefühl recht hatte und du dort weg bist.

Ich drück dir die Daumen! Ich hätte gern als nächstes eine neue Küchenmaschine ^^

Allerdings.
