Bratwurst…. it’s what’s for dinner
Well…… surprisingly I slept just fine last night… thanks to all who were concerned. I even went to bed at a decent hour. Hmmm… I think it was that allergy pill I took earlier in the day. It says non drowsy, but the last two times I took one, about 6 hours later I crashed in the middle of the day. So I think that their truth in advertising maybe a little skewed.
Spent a good part of today reading my assignments and catching up on my postings. Worked out twice — got up at 5:30 and then worked out (after a nap — another allergy pill)and again at 4:00. Hubby is back already and I’m glad. I’ve missed him. We’ve had some major hormonal breakdowns around here the last few days. I need his support. My youngest is 12 and starting through the hormonal stuff, oldest is 14 and smack in the middle of it, and I’m starting the transition out of it so instead of once a month… we have Bi#%* gear pretty much non stop. Imagine the fun around my house!
Still battling the fleas. Another doggie bath and flea dip. WE all just LOVE that!! I did finally find one of those little sprayer things that attaches to your tub and that makes it much easier. Both to bathe the dog and to clean up afterwards. Well…. at least to clean up the tub. It’s amazing how getting one dog clean can destroy an entire bathroom and sometimes the adjoining bedroom. Why is it that cleaning makes such a mess? Seems like a paradox. To avoid the mess… just stop cleaning. I think I’ll try that.
We had bratwurst for dinner. I love bratwurst, but it’s never as good as it was in Germany. I remember going out for our Christmas tree as a unit. This guy named Herman owned a pub the airmen used to eat at. He also had a Christmas tree lot. For 15 marks we cut our tree, had beer boiled bratwurst and spiced cider, and the kinder got a visit from Saint Nicholas. That was like $7.50 at the time. I used to by frozen bratwurst from the Real Kauf. You could see the herbs and spices in them. They were sooo good!! Hard to find that here. Ah well. I just have to make do. We do boil them in beer (even though we don’t drink, we keep beer on hand for just that reason
). Have to try to maintain some authenticity.
Well I’m off for bed. I’ll catch up with my subs and comments tomorrow. But here’s a question for you — what’s your favorite ethnic food? (I realize that for some, McDonalds is ethnic — while that’s very sad… it’s acceptable.) lol.
Comments (10)
i hear ya with the hormones…mine are 10, 12, 13 :wave:
i would have to say my favorite food is mexican, i just love it!:goodjob:
mexican!!
I would eat it in a house with a mouse!!!
here or there or anywhere!!
On another note, I’m still a little creeped about the yucky guy in the parking lot. As you are too I imagine. Good thing you were there though. I wouldn’t even want to think of what could have happened if you were not.
I’m right there with you on hormones, too. I’m just starting the transition out, and my 11-year-old is soo close to entering the wonderful world of womanhood, where she will have hormones as her excuse for everything for the next 40 years or so…
Anyhow, to answer your question, it’s a real toss-up between Mexican, Italian, and Lebanese/Greek. Cool thing is, where we live, it is pretty convenient to get authentic Italian, Lebanese/Greek, Polish, etc. We live in a multi-ethnic community where most of the people have maintained their traditional diets. Makes for some GOOD eating for those of us who are more of the Heinz-57-varieties ethnicity, LOL!
:wave: thanks for stoppin by
i’ve been laying around and sleeping mostly:sleepy: but i’m feeling better today and jordan is better, back to normal….noisy:giggle: talk to ya soon :goodjob:
My answer will sound sad too but my favorite ethnic food is Taco Bell. Ha.
On the medication, some of them can make you drowsy but I have found that some will actually keep you awake. I think medication causes different responses in different people.
chinese is my favorite! except I can only eat chinese once a month or so. what kind of allergy med did you take? my husband takes them all the time he has really bad sinus. actually the doctor just put him on nasonex and that works really good. now he doesn’t have to take claritan, and sudafed anymore.
Giving a dog a bath is always a messy job, I know it is with our fur ball. My favorite ethnic food is tomalees, the real ones. I had them when I was in Mexico for a while, living with a family. I had them here, not the same at all.
oh, young hormones! AHHH!! Run & hide!
Thanks for the comments
RYC: I taught ESL to adults and university students.
I specialized in TESL/TEFL during grad school, so that was only fitting. You’d be surprised by how little literature I’ve actually studied, horrified by how many grammar classes I took willingly, and possibly amazed by how many anthropology/linguistics classes can count toward an MA in English, LOL!
:sunny:Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.
