We slept in late, had one of our leisurely Berlin breakfasts / fridge clean-out meals, then spent the day gettin’ our shit together — we’re pretty much packed (7 new dresses, 1 skirt, a million tights 
) and just have to do a little cleaning tomorrow. While I am sad about leaving, I look forward to having my own kitchen back with all the hardware I am accustomed to (not to mention access to two grills), and I’m no longer limited to making pasta & salads for dinner 
Naturally, our last homecooked meal was…. pasta & salad: a reprise of the tagliatelle with chanterelles I bungled last time, and our last bowl of mâche till next summer.
I had the genius idea to start the shrooms in a mix of ‘nduja & butter — not that I could use up the entire half jar. Hope our landlords / future tenants dig. I didn’t cook all the luscious shroom liquor off this time, and it was really quite lovely, if a bit rich. A nice Riesling to go with,
and a burrata caprese for our antipasto with eye-wateringly expensive tomatoes from the FM. They were pretty damn flavorful, tho. #worthit
I’ve done a better job at plating, but I just couldn’t be arsed today 
There’s a whole plate worth of leftover pasta & a small bowl of salad, but we’re stuffed.
We have another bottle of Grillo to kill & a martini to make with the last of the gin my bestie brought — good thing we can sleep in tomorrow 
. We’ll have another leisurely breakfast, drop off my scooter at my buddy’s office near us, then make our way to the airport hotel.
We’ll head back into town in the evening for one last meal at the Turkish place — same resto we went to last year.
