Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

25 Mai - Stocking up

At least when there is no food in the house, I can count on the bakeries that are everywhere around here.  On the way to Skylar's school we stopped and got powder sugar covered, custard and chocolate filled horn pastries for a nice hearty breakfast.

Still working on my research in the office and I left a bit early to stop at the grocery store on the way home.  So, I may have over did it.  I waaay overfilled my bike basket that doesn't properly fit my bike and had quite the time staying balanced on the way home... only falling once.  Did I mention the itty bitty refrigerator at the flat?  Let's just say, poor Nora is not going to have anywhere to put anything.  Silly Americans and their bigger everythings... washing machines, milk containers, refrigerators... etc. 

I was going to make veggie lasagna for dinner, but as usual struggled with the huge selection of cheeses.  I ended up buying Spiecequark, which babelfish helpfully translated to food quark.  Turns out it was sour cream... sour cream would be pretty weird in lasagna.  Why are eggs not refridgerated here?  I finally caved and bought some, but I am a little apprehensive.  The grocery store continues to be my biggest struggle.
