🎄**This Christmas: If You’re Not Going Home, Come Eat With Me** *A Vietnamese homecooked supper for anyone staying in Berlin this holiday season.* **Welcome to homecooked stories by Trang** This December, I’m hosting a special edition for those of us who are staying in Berlin — whether you don’t celebrate Christmas, can’t travel home, or simply want a cozy evening around a shared table. **The Story** I’ve lived in Europe for almost 13 years, and every December brings the same familiar question:*“What am I going to do for Christmas this year?”* It’s not my holiday, but the city changes — friends travel, families gather, and Berlin becomes unusually still. I’ve always found myself caught between loving the quiet… and feeling the low note of everyone else having a place to belong. Over time, I created my own tradition: Every Christmas, I cook myself a feast. Not because I plan to eat everything, but because the act of cooking makes me feel at home again. Sometimes it’s just me. Sometimes one friend. Sometimes a small group of people who also aren’t going anywhere. Slowly, my home became a *home away from home* for friends spending the holidays in Berlin. This year, I’m opening that table to you too. **Event details** A Vietnamese family-style meal, following the Northern tradition: **một mặn · một canh · một rau** (one savory/protein dish · one soup · one vegetable) And because it’s Christmas, we’ll add: ✨ an extra savory dish ✨ a small sweet dessert The menu is made of dishes that appear again and again on my family’s table during the first meal after I arrive home: * **Canh khoai tây cà rốt hầm xương** Potato & carrot soup simmered with pork bones * **Thịt kho tàu** Braised pork belly & eggs, glossy and rich * **Xíu mại sốt cà chua** Vietnamese-style meatballs in tomato sauce * **Bắp cải luộc + nước mắm gừng** Boiled cabbage with ginger fish sauce — humble, clean, comforting * A **small, sweet surprise dessert** No vegan or vegetarian option will be available for this dinner. **Good to Know** **📍 Location:** Pankow, Berlin (M2 tram stop Prenzlauer Promenade/Am Steinberg — exact address shared after RSVP) **🗓 Date:** * **Thursday, December 18 — Dinner,** 19:00–22:00, OR * **Sunday, December 21 — Lunch,** 12:30–15:30, OR * **Thursday, December 25 — Lunch,** 12:30–15:30 **💶 Contribution:** €40 per person (includes multi-course dinner, soft drinks/tea assortments/water & experience) **👥 Seats:** Limited to guests each event Payment link will be shared after RSVP confirmation.

## "Ich kann nicht malen! Du möchtest malen, aber traust dich nicht? Freude an Farben, an einer kreativen Auszeit, mehr braucht es nicht zum Malen. Es ist wie einzutauchen in die eigene Farbwelt, denn es ist alles da! Da bei mir nicht gegenständlich gemalt wird, fällt es super leicht zu starten und sich den Farben und dir anzuvertrauen. Es entstehen wunderbare, farbenfrohe Bilder. Intuarts Malkurse (fast) immer Freitags ab 17.30 bis 20.00 Uhr oder Samstags ab 10.30 bis 13.00 Uhr
