the prodigal Shan returns

I have decided to henceforth continue this blog. Nearly halfway through my Fulbright grant to Germany, but whatever. I've been feeling pretty bad about not documenting the riveting (to me, and a perhaps a small niche group of people) thoughts I've had since September. Not necessarily pertaining to Germany, either. Let's be honest, I'm primarily referring to food and TV shows (i.e. the exact concerns I was blogging about in 2011). Nothing changes! Except there's more schnitzel and I have to find sketchy ways to stream all the shows, instead of just using hulu or the DVR.
