Ärende: RE: Leavenworth
=======================
Howdy Ruth!

-> ->  hn> Yeppers! Anne got Friday off so we're gonna head out in the 
morning
-> ->  hn> and spend friday enjoying Leavenworth together and then 
Saturday
-> 
-> -> Have fun and I'll see you when you get back.
-> 
->  hn> You don't have to wait till then! We are in Leavenworth right now, 
and
->  hn> thanks to laptops and wifi, we can still get a fido fix nomatter where
->  hn> we are!
-> 
-> But I took Sunday off from Fido; that's why I said what I did. (G)  Had
-> to recouperate from reading material on a new bread machine (Zojoroshi),
-> food proccessor (Hamilton Beach) and toaster (Oster) we picked up on
-> Saturday.  Been having fun with the last one to the tune of my now being
-> able to say I can be a boaster about my poster of my Oster toaster on a
-> coaster, next to the roaster.
-> 
Hmmmm, but of the three, which one do you like the moster?
-> 
-> -> -> Good German eateries?  Rachel and David took us to 
a "Hofbrauhaus" in
-> -> -> Las Vegas last year; it was mediocre at best but they wanted us to
-> 
-> -> -> they had German food available I guess.  Steve had taken me to The
-> -> -> Chef's Table in Honolulu (Hawaii Kai) for my birthday; it's actually
-> -> -> Austrian but the food was "much" better than the place in Vegas.
-> 
->  hn> We went out to dinner last night to Cafe Christa, and boy was it 
good!
->  hn> Anne had the Saurbraten and I had Jaegerschnitzel...great spaetzle
->  hn> wonderful red cabbage and Anne was oooh'ing and Ahhhhh'ing over 
the
->  hn> saurbraten...then we had "Oma's caramel apple pie with whipped 
cream
->  hn> and a shortbread crust" very very good and worth the carbs !
-> 
-> Sounds good to me.
-> 
ohhh it was! (grin) 

-> ->  hn> things that have no taste...she loves all that stuff! So you can bet
-> ->  hn> we'll be dining at one of the german places in town tomorrow 
night!
-> 
-> -> I may do that, or I may do some German cooking myself.  We're doing a
-> -> commissary run this week end so I can get what I need. Steve and I 
both
-> -> enjoy German cooking; it's my heritage and half of Steve's.
-> 
->  hn> It's not in mine at all but I do so love a good wurst or schnitzel!
->  hn> Anne goes for the saurbraten and rolladin and the red cabbage she 
ate
->  hn> often as a child. What are you gonna make?
-> 
-> Actually didn't buy anything for that--got a bunch of stuff not
-> available at the Hunter Commissary for the most part.  Figured we'd hit
-> the Hunter one for meats and so on.  One of my favorite things this time
-> of year is a tomato/onion salad with a vinegarette gressing.  I had it
-> once at a place in Frankfurt and found the recipe in one of my German
-> cook books.
-> 
I like salads and that one is always good!

-> -> Of course! Makes you wonder how many of your friends of that time 
now
-> -> regret they weren't more adventerous when they were in Europe.
-> 
->  hn> Most of the friends that I stay in contact with were more like me, the
->  hn> others sort of faded into the mists of time...it's a relatively small
->  hn> group, military brats
->  hn> who went to school overseas....and you girls would fit right
->  hn> in...Priscilla Presely is a member, and many of my friends have either
->  hn> met or knew
->  hn> her "way back then" .
-> 
-> Yes, she was a Wiesbaden High School graduate. And, if our girls hadn't
-> been military brats, and David one also, he and Rachel never would have
-> met. (G)
-> 
Yep, its' an odd little segment of the population. A group of my old 
schoolmates is going back to Chateauroux this fall for a reunion. I would love 
to go but the timing is all wrong for us. 

-> ->  hn> Ours is very small! Could possibly get a weeks worth of meals in
-> ->  hn> there, but it'd be tight!
-> 
-> -> Sounds like the size I don't want.
-> 
->  hn> Not really the size I wanted either, but at the time it was what we
->  hn> could afford!
-> 
-> I know the feeling.  Our first bread machine was a luxury at $99.00.
-> The next one was a good deal at $39.95.  We just paid $149.00 for our
-> third.  But, it's bigger than either of the first two and we could
-> afford the bigger/better one now.
-> 
Yep, I keep threatening to get a bigger better one...but don't know where I'd 
put the present one and as long as it keep chugging along I can't see getting 
rid of it. Tomorrow they are bringing the new washer and dryer...the old dryer 
finally died after 34 years of solid service...bought it at JC Pennys the first

summer we were married! 
chat with you soon
