Quark Poller, Beininstich, Bolle, oh my!


Ok, I may have gone a bit overboard on the pastries, but the lovely and talented Greg is visiting from New York and we'll be screening his film "Fay Lindsay-Jones Story" this evening, and I figured we needed some refreshments as sweet and delicious as he is.

So lass ich's mir schmecken!

The Littlest Crossing-Guard



Cool thing about German traffic signals: When you get the "green" pedestrian cross light, it's an image of little green man wearing a hat and walking, very determinedly, across the street. When the light turns red the man holds both arms out to stop you from crossing.

Bratwurst...sehr lecker!




Here is documentation of a delicious and authentic German meal we recently enjoyed.
Bratwurst, onions, and red cabbage with apples. We boiled the bratwurst in a pan with about 1/2" of water until they were cooked through, and then we browned them for a few minutes with the sauteed onions. The red cabbage and apples is just that. Saute the cabbage with an onion in a big pot, then when the cabbage is soft, add chopped apples, some sugar, salt, pepper and vinegar to taste and cook for another five minutes or so.
