I love Nutella on bannanas. I kid myself that I'm eating healthy
because I'm getting all the fruity goodness and fiber when I sit there in front of the TV dipping the ends of a bannana into a jar of Nutella and bite off the chocolate coated end. I've been told there's an organic version of a chocolate and hazelnut spread made in Britain by Black & Green's that's better than Nutella, but I've never been able to find it in a store. |

Care to tell us more about your favorite German dishes? I only know what Mama cooked and what I had at the Hofbrauhaus in Munich! I was in Munich less than two weeks ago! Very pretty city, but I didn't stay long enough to sample much food. While I was there, I had mackerel, shrimp, and lobster consomme soup. |

You had better food than I did! Did you see Marianplatz? (I may be spelling it wrong.) It is the town hall, not too far from the train station. (I came in from Sienna, Italy, taking a bus to Firenze then the train to Munchen.) I met a lovely man at the nearby shops who took me under his wing and took me to the Hofbrauhaus along with another tourist traveling solo. He was an older German man, just a really nice soul, no ulterior motives or anything. There I saw the older men in black leather shorts who played Ooompa music! I drank maybe 1/10th of a stein of beer that was as big as my head! One thing that surprised me: prostitution is legal there. I did not know that. There are bars with red lights that you better not go in. |

Hairy brown piggies, tusks and a nasty temper. In Germany they mainly come out at night. I thought I wanted to see some, so we went out and sat by a pond just outside the village. Not that it would have mattered if we were *in* the village, it's almost deserted - 20 houses or so over a large area. Dusk approached. Lots of bats were insect-catching over the surface of the pond. Then I heard a sort of crashing in the undergrowth noise. Quite close. Then I decided I wanted to go home without seeing a wild boar ;-) So we did! Tweed When I was a little kid growing up in Munich, we used to save all our stale bread until we had a few big bags. Then my parents would take me to the forest at sunset, where they had this great fenced in parking area. We'd throw the stale bread over the fence into the forest and dozens of wild boar would come running up and scarf down the bread. I absolutely loved it! I used to keep an eye on the bread bags and when they'd even get close to being full, I'd start to pester my parents to take me to the boars. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

It's actually better to visit Germany in spring, rather than this time of year though, since the Germans really have a good sense of aesthetics when it comes to growing and flowering things in their parks and gardens. |

Sounds like the places here where people have started to drive out to the garbage dumps to watch the bears.

Right you are. I was last there in April and it was beautiful. Go out at dusk and have dinner and a drink in the beer gardens. In Munich squares are full of people dining and socializing. There are sculptures of Leninist heroes and workers everywhere--very different from any art I saw in Italy or France. The look to be done in the 1930s but it is hard to tell. My mother's Bavarian grandfather was a gardener, and she took after him in loving to grow things. I am afraid I got none of that, but I do love to see what others grow. If you go in the spring, I hope you will tell us about your trip. |
