Conny's Corner: Recipe to try: Serbian Rice Meat

http://connys-corner.blogspot.com/2012/04/recipe-to-try-serbian-rice-meat.html

Recipe to try: Serbian Rice Meat. Ok, so this is my favourite food of all times! My grandma's famous Serbian Rice Meat. We call it Serbisch-Reisfleisch in German which I think sounds nicer, nut the thing is, I've never met anyone who has tried it and not liked it! Here's what you need:. 500g mince beef (I used lean beef mince). 2 cups of long grain rice. 1 cup of water with 2 cubes of beef stock. 1 1/2 cups of water. 1 tube of tomato puree. Here's how you do it:. Instead of just beef mince, you can also ...

Conny's Corner: December 2009

http://connys-corner.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

The year 2009 is almost over and it's this day of the year when you sit down and think about everything you want to do and achieve in 2010. Chances are that somewhere on that list there are the well-known points of doing more sports and losing some weight. My own list includes graduating from university, finding a job and, most of all, moving in with my boyfriend. By the time we can actually move in together, we will have been talking about it for over a year! Thursday, December 31, 2009. At home in Germ...

Conny's Corner: July 2010

Going freelance to get work experience. Here's the thing: I have recently applied for a job with the local weekly paper. And although my interview was apparently really good, and they know me, I've published with them before and could start right away - they took someone else. But apparently all that is not enough. Editors want somebody with work experience, but how are you meant to get any more work experience if nobody gives you a job? I am past unpaid internships. There are bills to pay. And q...Which...

8222;Früher gab es noch richtige Musik! Dem kann ich nur zustimmen. Ich halte nicht viel von synthetischen Melodien, Boybands, Girlbands und Popstars. Für mich muss eine Band ihre Instrumente selber spielen können und ihre Songs selber schreiben. Sänger müssen Charisma haben und geborene Entertainer sein, die selbst das größte Stadion rocken können. Aus seiner Feder stammen unter anderem Bicycle Race (I want to ride my bicycle), Don‘t stop me now und vor allem Bohemian Rhapsody. Ihre Songs sind weltberüh...

Conny's Corner: February 2011

http://connys-corner.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Yesterday I have made a decision that could really help me to further my career. At least that's what I hope. I have just signed up to do a Diploma in Freelance Journalism at the British College of Journalism, Oxford. It's a short course by distance learning, aimed at those who want to make a career as freelance writers. I wanted to get my NCTJ qualification. But until then, I'm doing the British College of Journalism course, which will give me a tutor from the field of travel journalism (FINALLY! Distan...

Conny's Corner: June 2010

http://connys-corner.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Germany is through to the Quarterfinals at the 2010 World Cup. And knocked out England in the process. As a German national, I don't really see the problem all my British neighbours have with this outcome of last Saturday's match. I myself was rather jubilant. What can I say? While the Lions were only roaring, the Eagle was soaring. When I suggested flying the German flag from our house in Britain, my other half shrieked: "Do you want to get us killed? Having experienced the World Cup in Britain so far, ...

Shoestring issue # 6 out now! The latest issue of my travel magazine Shoestring is now online! Check out the entire magazine on Shoestring Travel Magazine. Tuesday, February 14, 2012. What do you have to do to get a job? Here's the thing: I graduated with a really good degree. Since 2004 I've been doing work experience as reporter and photographer worlwide. I speak 2 languages fluently, two more on a more basic level. My final grade in my degree was better than that of a few (working) journalists I know.

Confessions of a multilinguist. I've always been somewhat of a linguist. Therefore my latest decision should not come as a surprise: I want to learn more languages! Next to my native language German, I currently speak English fluently, and basic French and Spanish. But that's not enough for me! I also find it interesting to see how a language developed, and compare it to others. My love for languages had quite humble beginnings, though. And "what's the time? And was mighty proud. My entire grammar school...
