Presentation of the results of the Saarland Citizens‘ Dialogue 2026. We worked on proposals to tackle structural change - I was curious to see how a random group would get along (we had a nurse, a poet, a trucker, a teacher, a programmer, a student & a linguist…). It turned out surprisingly well.

Rosehips - a bright sign that autumn has arrived. We call them Hagebutten in German („hedge-clumps“), which describes them quite well. The plant is Hundsrose, ‚dog‘s rose‘. Hagebuttentee is really easy to make (just remove the seeds, dry and chop the rest) - one of my favourites

European Heritage Days, one of my favourite September rituals. This year, a visit to a local farm house (Einhaus, ‘one house’ - farmer family, animals & stores under one roof) and a former pub that looked as if the last owner just locked up 70 years ago & left everything as is 🍺

All set for my presentation on AI in sustainable webcare at the UI GreenMetric workshop which came to the Environmental Campus year! Also looking forward to showing our international visitors around the campus and tracing its history - from US military hospital to Germany‘s greenest university 🌱

Autumn is coming, and with it the ethereal autumn saffron that we call Herbstzeitlose. I always liked the unusual name, „autumn time-less“. Zītlōs meant „before its time“, which fits. More ominous names: Leichenblume (corpse flower) or Winterhauch (winter‘s breath), a reminder that winter is next…

Morning walk through the hills. July flowers, sun, birdsong, and leaves rustling in the light breeze create that perfect summer Sunday feeling 🌤️

In the history of English textbooks 50 years on, we will be talking about 2 events: The great standardization of the printing press And the great de-standardization when everyone started trying to make weird mistakes on purpose so as not be be accused of LLM writing 🙃 #linguistics

At #CADS2026, Michaela Mahlberg describes corpora as “evidence of human experience”. That’s a wonderful way of looking at corpora.

Guided plant tour on Environmental Campus Open Day: Rapunzel-Glockenblume (bellflower), Fuchs’ Knabenkraut (spotted orchid), Flockenblume (knapweed), Johanniskraut (St. John’s wort)- the campus provides protected habitats with meadows, wetlands, and groves to enjoy & study 🌼🌺🌸

The Environmental Campus turns 30 this year - one of the great successful projects in the Hunsrück mountains, bringing students from all over the world to Germany‘s greenest university (once the U.S. Army‘s 98th General Hospital). Great place to work, live, and study, too 🎈🌱🎓

Great to be in Bergen again for a doctoral midterm and transcription workshop @nhhnor.bsky.social 🎓🇳🇴 Europe‘s wettest city treated me to an impressive range of rain, from sudden downpours to sullen drizzle, interspersed with light showers. And then, amazingly, gloriously, the sun! ☔️⛅️

Sunday in the garden. Potatoes, tomatoes, beans and cabbage are coming in nicely 🥔🍅🫘🥬 One experiment this year: tree spinach (purple goosefoot) and borage - they seem to coexist well, are quite snail-proof, and the borage will attract lots of bees when in bloom 🐝

I always like Graduation Day at Saarland University’s Philosophical Faculty - a bit of pomp and glamour returning over the last decade. Gratified to have three of my own candidates (one BA, one MA, one student teacher) among the graduates. Godspeed! 🎓

Whit Monday, and I managed to get an Amalfi lemon at the farmers’ market 🍋 I’ve wanted to try this for a while: lemon salad! It may sound strange, but this lemon is mild and aromatic and can be eaten whole as a salad, sliced very thin, with olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, chili and some herbs 🪴

Although the weather has been rather cold & rainy, it is time for May wine („Maibowle“), a spring drink. Dry white wine infused with woodruff („Waldmeister“, lit. ‚master of the forest‘) from the garden, slightly dried to release the sweet aroma, topped with sparkling wine 🪴

How nice when the season is in sync with nomenclature - just saw the first maybug (“Maikäfer” in German). Its other name, “cockchafer” seems very Pepysian, with two earthy Anglo-Saxon components combining to mean “large, vigorous plant-gnawer”🪴 (which is what it was doing…)

On the way back from #DigitalPalates with memories of a wonderful conference I”m awed by Berlin culinary variety on offer to eat on the go. Brezeln, Franzbrötchen but also Pasteis de Nata, baguettes 🥖 Lütticher Waffeln 🧇 Marzipan croissants 🥐 & the inimitable Dijon Croissant (with ham & mustard)

Last #ZuckerRush of #DigitalPalates - another favourite: Ahoj-Brause, a fizzy powder beloved by generations of German school kids, particularly the very peculiar Waldmeister (woodruff) taste ⛵️ Now looking forward to the last keynote by Keri Matwick (NTU Singapore) on digital culinary nationalism

I almost missed out on this treat from the #DigitalPalates coffee break - “Kalter Hund” 🐶 It is based on a non-bake cake made from Leibniz butter biscuits and melted chocolate. This is “Oma (Granny) Hartmanns’” brand, and again we see the power of grandmotherly approval as a quality marker 👵🏻🍫

Food is not only the key theme in the #DigitalPalates academic program, but also in the coffee breaks - every day we get a different treat! 😋 Today: Halloren-Kugeln (pralines) from Germany’s oldest chocolate factory, a popular treat in the former GDR (and now all of Germany) 🍫

At #DigitalPalates, Kelsi Matwick investigates how the Okinawan Blue Seal Ice Cream brand creates marketing narratives of nostalgia, heritage, and authenticity while retaining American origins. Very curious about Okinawan Salt Cookie 🍪 and Beni-Imo (sweet potato) 🥔 flavours 🍦

Last panel of the day - suddenly I find myself considering getting my mom a customized “Mamasaurus” Stanley Cup for Mother’s Day and thus, as Theresa Heyd (Heidelberg) points out in the first panel talk, embracing one of the cringiest culinary“Excess-ories” 🥤😬 #DigitalPalates
