Food Notes (Restaurant Highlights + What to Avoid)

Frenzel’s / Goschen area (birthday-week dinner)

• Ordered:
  • Doner kebab that arrived flattened on the plate
  • Compared to gyro-style: “more like a Gyros Peter” than classic doner
• Dessert / ice cream attempt:
  • Spaghetti ice cream — but it was disappointing
  • It came out more like spaghetti soup, with:
    • little strawberry sauce
    • mostly vanilla ice cream shaped like noodles
• Sunflower oil price check:
  • They asked again about the cost of “the good cheap sunflower oil.”
  • Claimed price: about $ for the bottle, roughly equivalent to 69 cents at stores like Rewe (they didn’t buy it).

Overall takeaway

• Meals were sometimes good, but dessert and expectations (especially the spaghetti ice cream) didn’t match reality.

Home + Practical Lifestyle Tips (Checklists / DIY)

“To-do list” mindset

• The speaker emphasizes that if they don’t make to-do lists, they don’t do anything.

Action item 1: Fix door lock alignment

• Issue:
  • The deadbolt doesn’t catch properly after a Strike Blade was installed.
• Fix planned:
  • Adjust by filing down about 1–2 mm so the bolt can fit.
• Problems observed:
  • The handle is crooked
  • It has scratched the bottom of the door

Action item 2: Wall-mount a TV on the terrace

• Goal:
  • Install the TV and confirm it works for a watch party on Wednesday
• Requirements/notes mentioned:
  • The kit includes a wall mount, but likely not the correct wall plug
  • Screws are designed for wood beam construction, so they may need:
    • dowels
    • likely metric screws (~10 mm)
    • a drill bit
• Installation technique:
  • Painter’s tape is used to mark where the bolt hits before drilling/cutting
• Result:
  • After refinements, the problem is solved and the TV is installed

Work/life admin routine

• Mentions a thesis correction session with a professor.
• Intended to incorporate highlighted changes, but a work emergency delayed it.
• Deadline tracking:
  • 109 days until submission
  • Noted in the calendar

---

Health / Relaxation Routine

• No formal health routine was described.
• The “well-being” focus is mainly on:
  • getting out
  • social time
  • practical comfort (e.g., toilet on the boat; peace/quiet at home)

---

Weather + Daily Life

• August 20th: pouring rain in New York City, affecting plans.
• Later:
  • Neighbors make noise
  • The speaker jokes about needing peace and quiet while checking off progress on the TV setup.
