On May 1st, Mackenzie Skye Anne was christened. We had the ceremony in Bavaria in the same church where Stefan and I had our church wedding ceremony almost 7 years ago. This beautiful church is in a small town called Metten which is very close to where Stefan's...
Trees, tripods and other random stuff
I've been in a cleaning frenzy today. We're trying out a new system here where I use Monday as my "get the house back in order after the bomb went off weekend is over." We're usually so busy focusing on getting big projects done that the house is in disarray and there...
Obama Fingers – now that’s some GOOD chicken
Caught up in the wave of Obama-mania here, a German frozen food company called Sprehe has launched a product called Obama Fingers in an attempt to cash in on some of the hype. Obama Fingers are fried chicken fingers with curry dipping sauce which were released for a...
I’m NOT lovin’ it
We got out and about last Sunday morning, excited to be going to Sunflower Garden Center to find some further inspiration for our garden and courtyard. The weather was beautiful and on our way there, we made a pit stop at the nearest fast food place - McDonald's. You...
Archives? Who needs those?
When something notable happens here in Germany, I try to make few comments on it. This time around, I'm not really sure what to think. A building in Cologne containing the city's historical archives collapsed yesterday. It contained 65,000 original documents dating...
No meal planners in Germany?
It was that time of the month again. Lots of meat frozen in the trunk freezer but nothing in the fridge to put a meal together with. It's still going to be a little while until we can eat anything from our own garden so I had to make a trip to Lidl. It's a discount...
German fast food
The man who invented the döner kebab died this week. Sad news indeed. But as an almost tribute to him, we found out our little village is finally going to have a döner stand of its own. We went out today to grab a cable for our new phone system (which we still haven't...
Getting things corrected
I had to be up bright and early this morning so Mack and I could go to the US embassy. After we got the passport and birth certificate in the mail with the wrong birth date (my mistake, not theirs), I had to figure out what we needed to do to correct it. One can...
A bit of Bayern
As I've mentioned, we were down in Bavaria this past weekend visiting Stefan's parents. This is their house, rather typical for the area. I just love these houses with all the wood trim - they just look so classic. Naturally, we couldn't let the time go by without...
It wasn’t jumping when it got to me
While we were in Bavaria this weekend, we went to a nice little restaurant called Schlossgasthof zur Einkehr [(Haggn 26, 94362 Neukirchen, Tel: (09961) 701170)]. It's a place the in-laws have been to several times and they always enjoyed it so we went to check it out....
