Notes from Germany

I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at blog(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

Spargelzeit


Last night Jens and I cooked up some Spargel for some friends of ours. We had about 6 people over to our place and had a feast. Boiled white asparagus, various sliced and salted hams, potatoes, cauliflower, and awesome hollandaise sauce. Not to mention lots of white wine. It was da bomb. I made dessert which was American style brownies with strawberries and vanilla ice cream. Bomb-a-licious. We gotta do that more often.



On another note, my friend R, drummer extraordinaire, has got what the Germans call Scarlach, commonly known as Scarlet Fever. I thought that had been eradicated. Who gets that these days? Well, apparently scarlet fever occurs mostly in children aged 4-8 years. It doesn't sound like fun to me. I'll be steering clear from him for a while.
