PiX of the summer:

After two years successful practice of "Survival under the Undead" we would like to focus on a bit livelier project. The idea for this event occurred us during a long winter vacation on the German pensioners island of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), where we could enjoy 24/7 cooking series, which we can't avoid to name only as:
"Cooking until you Puke!"

Two years ago we mentioned, that we would like to express ourselves in more understandable projects to the public and focus on more acute topics. Therefore we decided to jump on the train for the "Post Romaic Decadence" due to a speech of a German politician about unemployed of the underclass and walk across the Alps from Trieste, Italy to Nice, France, a.k.a. Via Alpina with tent and backpack (climate neutral, of course!). This hike will focus on gourmet specialties like incredible grievous smelling goat cheese of conspiracy consistence and color from the beautiful flowering Alp meadows and vine without "chemical enhancements" from marooned and forgooten gorges and valleys. Of course we wouldn't avoid the famous bore salami, which has been knelt with gristly hands and our self made wild mountain greens salad with mild Szechwan pepper, cold pressed olive oil, Balsamic essence and Fleur du Sel. And sure we will collect masses of decadent and seldom recipes. Resulting of which will pop up a new e-book about outdoor cooking with simple equipment: "Gourmet or Gourmand that is the Question?"

The never ending hunger in the world doesn't stop those cooking battles on TV. Well there are haves and have nots! And hej, an old stock market saying is: "The Trend is Your Friend" so we join the keen mob.

Ignoring "best price" battles and the always sinking taxes until states collapse we will hike on the politician correct "Post Romanic Decadent Wave" through the mountains. After the last project "Soot in the Ruhr Area" we could need some fresh air quiet badly before Lira, Drachma, Peseta, Escudo and Irish Pound will be back! (Nope, not the Deutsch Maak!).

Due to another wise stock market saying: -"Sell in May and say Good-Bye!"- we will vanish in May.

As a researcher I always wondered about a big mystery: How the bloody hell can't meteorologists make a proper weather forecast for two days but the "newly self screwed climate researchers" (www.climateaudit.org) in their wise statements with fake and false data can predict that the Oceans will rise about an Inch in the next 30 years… So we decided that we probably better check before 2012 (...) if all this is true.

In our project "Sapphire Blue" or the "Long time no Se(a)e" we will observe the ever rising levels of the seas on beautiful beaches and under palms in tent and hang mattress (climate neutral!) and try to find any proof. Nobody can afford those high heating prices in "warm winters" in Europe anyway. As life hatched from sea we might create ("spring off") a few more new e-books about our endeavors of enjoying life under those catastrophic surroundings (adventures 2005 -2010) in own regime while things happen or not. Anyway more after survived decadence dott com!

ps.
I always had the feeling that I landed as an alien on the wrong planet but when I saw best of "American Idol" and "X Factor" probably as the last living creature on earth this thesis became more relevant to me. Unfortunately the proof followed immediately
