Let it snow, let it snow...
But now when I'm on the road getting groceries so I can make cheesecake for Dan's 25th birthday!
When I spent an exchange year in Germany (in Saxony, where it got quite cold), my host family taught me to turn off the heater in the morning and to open my window. This way, the whole house aired out every day. When I came home from school in the afternoon, I went upstairs, closed my window and turned on the heat in my room then ran back downstairs to sit in the kitchen while my room warmed up. Since them, I've been very sensitive to what Germans call "bad air" and have kept up the habit.
Speaking of Germany, I bought some kohlrabi at the grocery store the other day. It was something which we ate all the time with my host family in Germany but which I hadn't eaten in the United States until four days ago. I can't remember how it was prepared when I lived in Germany, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to have them.
And for one last bit of nostalgia - I have my a bunch of Stollen recipes and hope to make one of them next week...
No Rauchermaenner are up in our home, though - I forget to pack them when we moved to New Jersey.
