Börek

I came home to a UFO in my kitchen! It has about a 2' diameter.


These are bread/pita type things filled with a light coating of a hamburger and onion mixture.

Grape Leaves

After consuming a few hundred of the Aunts filled grape leaves, I finally got to try my hand at them.

Zum Geburtstag....

We went to an Irish Pub, 16 people showed up, we ran up a 230 Euro bill and then used the tip money that's being horded instead of being distributed between us. Good use!

The present from my store! Mick also gave me a shockingly pink Ipod Nano! Yay for fun birthdays. It's starting to feel more like home.

1 Year!

Fasching the German Mardi Gras

So I spent 2 hours last week at work not working. There was a parade about 15 feet from our front door! We opened up both doors and waved and were greeted with showers of candy. For some reason in my green apron I was able to procure a couple of flowers and extra candy. I think they felt sorry for us having to work.

My favorite costume.

Police officer treated to kisses and flowers.

Even the onlookers were in costume.

View of the crowd from inside the store.

The witches were a little out of control.
