In the morning we can already smell autumn in the air and the rose hips are slowly ripening!
And yet it is still mid-August, the garden and the fields have more to offer than any other time of the year. At the café we have berries on our porridge, various fruit in our cakes, and we are testing all kinds of new things that will fill our cake displays in late summer.

Today is summer solstice – the longest day of the year and the astronomical beginning of summer.

 

In Sweden, Midsummer is celebrated today. In the Alps, people celebrate the day by lighting hundreds of mountain fires.

We want to honor the beginning of summer as well and have collected herbs & flowers this morning. You will find them in your lunch and on our tables, sprinkled over sandwiches, and in some drinks.

We are also taking this opportunity to raise awareness about nature and how we treat it. 

The annual Earth Overshoot Day is just around the corner, marking the day humanity has used up all the natural resources the earth can provide within a year. We as consumers in a developed country can help protect these resources.

 

Here are a few useful sources of information we have selected:

Bonnie Wright @thisisbwright has just published her book ‘Go Gently’ which lovingly outlines simple, tangible steps to reduce our environmental impact. What and how do we consume? How can we work towards environmental change? Bonnie Wright addresses these questions and more in her book @gogently.earth.

The book ‘Ohne Wenn und Abfall’ by Milena Glimbovksi gives us many ideas on how to conserve our resources in our everyday lives ( @milenskaya ).

 

In addition, here’s the link to some informative articles:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/04/climate/climate-change-ipcc-un.html

(in German)  https://www.sueddeutsche.de/thema/Richtig_gut_leben_-_die_gro%C3%9Fe_Nachhaltigkeitsserie 

(in German)  https://www.zeit.de/wissen/umwelt/2022-05/overshoot-day-ressourcen-verbrauch-deutschland-klimawandel-nachhaltigkeit?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

(in German) https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/klima-und-konsum-die-macht-und-ohnmacht-der-verbraucher-100.html

 

Finally, here’s a little green update from our garden:

Over the last weeks we have been busy growing, harvesting, and producing syrups in our little garden which we will use to make delicious drinks over the summer.

Over the next few days, we will post some videos about this.

 

Consume less, live more   Happy Summer Solstice!

Today is International Women’s Day.

The US women’s socialist party established the first “Women’s Day” in 1908. Unfortunately even today, many of the goals demanded at the time, such as equal rights, self-determination or even the right to vote for women, remain unachieved around the globe.
Current developments in countries like Afghanistan even show a regression after years of progress.

Today and every day, we honor women* regardless of ethnic, national, economic, cultural or political background and we are proud of our team that is predominantly led by women every day.
Without these incredibly talented and energetic women, the café would not have made it through these hard times. THANK YOU to ALL of you.

Today we would like to draw your attention especially to the situation of women & girls leaving or sheltering in Ukraine.
Below you’ll find a list of organizations that support and organize help for this cause.

The Zonta-Club is collecting donations in Germersheim today, especially for women & children:
Tuesday morning from 11 a.m. on the market place in Germersheim – from monetary donations food will be bought and aid transports will be organized. 

https://www.wochenblatt-reporter.de/germersheim/c-lokales/zonta-club-sammelt-spenden-fuer-frauen-und-kinder-in-der-ukraine-am-internationalen-frauentag_a357434   

Help for girls & women in Ukraine who need monetary donations:

https://www.unwomen.de/helfen/hilfe-fuer-frauen-und-maedchen-in-der-ukraine.html

https://www.amica-ev.org 

We came up with a special dessert for today and made vanilla cupcakes with a wild blueberry filling for you.
Come by, enjoy them, and celebrate yourself!

Save the date everyone!
Next Wednesday at 6 p.m., the Atlantic Academy is doing a free online talk “A Seat at the Table – Food in America and American Food in the World” as part of their event series Let’s Talk America.
Why is American food so popular in large parts of the world and what exactly is American food anyway? How are politics, identity, and food connected?
Cultural historian L. Sasha Gora will explain all this and more in her talk next Wednesday. At Café Susann, we often let ourselves be inspired by the influences of U.S. cuisine when creating our food and drinks, and due to our proximity to the Kaiserslautern Military Community, many Americans visit us regularly.
We are happy to collaborate with the Atlantic Academy and would like to invite you to join us for this exciting event.
