Someone recently tweeted that they were mad at Ber­lin — if they’d wanted bad weather they would’ve moved to Lon­don instead! I jok­ingly replied “Dude, if the weather is what made you chose Ber­lin you deserve it”. But I’m not jok­ing any­more. I really can’t deal with the down­pour of the past few days. Yes, it looks like it’s going to lighten up a bit, but the dam­age has been done — and irre­vers­ibly so.

Our moods, dir­ec­ted by nature, have been set: listen­ing to Bon Iver and cud­dling while watch­ing clas­sic movies sounds way nicer than “wait­ing for the rain to end so we can go out to party”. You know what, sun, sum­mer, and warm weather? Go away! We’re ready for hood­ies and sad music! We want to bake apple pie with our dearest friends! We want to stand in crowded clubs to keep each other warm and spend the next Sunday at a hun­gover bake ses­sion! Let’s cel­eb­rate the Octo­ber feel­ing while listen­ing to the new Soul Clap Detroit mix…

By the way: thanks to Stefan for host­ing, for tak­ing the pic­tures and for provid­ing the Apple Pie Recipe (and of course, thanks to Mar­cus and Stefan both for bak­ing with expertise!):

• 250 g butter
• 250 g sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1 pack of vanilla powder
• 350 g flour
• 1 pack of bak­ing powder
• 1 kg apples

Peel the apples and cut into slices. Then mix all the other ingredi­ents and add the apple slices when done. Spread on the bak­ing tray, put it in the oven, wait 30 minutes, enjoy with friends and whipped cream!
