Katie,

I love it when you mention quirky things about Germany. I lived in

Munich in 1990-91, as part of my German Language major. One of my

favorite classes I took was a Linguistics course in which we studied

the history of the German language and why their language rules are

such. It made perfect sense to me!

 

And it seems to me that Germans love to cook. Everyone on my floor was

always cooking. And my first big meal I ever cooked was Thanksgiving,

because they all told me that every year the American student cooked

up a big Thanksgiving meal. Well, I had lots of help; and it was my

first time at a fresh market, too.

 

Germany was the first time I had french fries with mayo, I fell in

love with Nutella, I gained an appreciation for good beer, and I built

up my own cooking skills (at 20 yrs old it was the first time I really

had to fend for myself).
