There’s a breakfast dish that I have always been so fascinated with, and I finally gave it a try this past weekend: Eggs Benedict! I used my America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook’s recipe. Basically, making this delicious brekkie seems to be all about the prep work plus mastering the Hollandaise sauce–which I still need to practice.Continue reading Recipe: Eggs Benedict
I’ll be in India all this week touring around the northern Ganges river with 20 students from HKIS. During the trip we will experience the culture with train trips and market visits. We’ll attempt some adventure with hikes up mountains and rafting trips down the Ganges. Finally, will offer some service to the local inhabitantsContinue reading Packing 101: Adventure Travel
Black Leggings Under with Cream Tights Over At the onset of Chinese New Year, Hong Kong had amazing, sunny weather that brought us to the beach. Then, all of a sudden, it all changed. Granted, we don’t have much to complain about in terms of weather, but for all of us used to Hong Kong’sContinue reading Keeping Warm with Double Tights
Recently with all the teens and tweeners in the house, I’ve been asking a question over and over: how am I suppose to wear a beanie? I decided it was finally time for everyone in the house to share how to wear a beanie. Take a look and decide who wears it best…. Loose GigiContinue reading How To Wear a Beanie
Just like having a Holiday Outfit Formula, I also have a New Year’s Eve Outfit Formula. It’s basically the same but in reverse. To dress up a bit more for this festive evening, I choose a fun sparkly, fancy, unique cut top and pair it with a black leather skirt and pumps. It’s that easy!Continue reading New Year’s Eve Outfit Formula
These mouth watering holiday cookies are usually called Pfeffer Nuts, but in the Krembs’ home we’ve started to call them Pfeffer Flowers. Folks, these cookies are absolutely scrumptious. Plus, the batch makes a very large amount so gifting them or bringing them to parties is always a sure hit. They are a little salty, aContinue reading Pfeffer Flowers
I’m all about the easy DIY. The one that is foolproof. The DIY that actually doesn’t take a lot of skill or patience. This Gold Bootie DIY was right up my alley! 1. Take an old pair of booties–I had replaced my black pair this season with the DV Juju ankle bootie, so I didn’tContinue reading Gold Bootie DIY
It’s fair to say that the golden glow of summer’s sun is fast fading for many of us. Yet, that doesn’t mean we all have to turn pasty white and abandon a nice glow. Below you will find all of my favorites, well stocked in my vanity, for maintaining just a hint of color throughoutContinue reading Winter Tan
I am lucky: I travel a fair amount because of what I do and because of living overseas. Internationally teaching has many perks, and I have really appreciated all the travel I’ve been able to do in the last 16+ years. Because of this, packing has become a bit of a science for me. InContinue reading Packing 101: Three Nights [In Beijing]
When the Krembs want to have a special dinner, we have pizza! This started happening probably during a summer cook off out at the cabin. It continued in our beautiful yard in Beijing. In Hong Kong we had to take a year off (or just use the oven) until we recently brought back a BBQContinue reading Recipe: Pizza Night
The other day there was a cocktail party after work. It started at 5:00 pm, so there was really no time to go home and change to get ready for the soirée. I decided to dress down my cocktail dress for school with a polka dot blouse, simple flats, and a berry lip. Then forContinue reading From Work to Party
A day home from school calls for baking, and on Monday’s typhoon called day off, Gigi, Vincent, and I knew that we were due for some homemade cookies.

Huh?!
