When in Rome do as the Romans

Curry wurst - grilled bockwurst with ketchup sprinkled with curry - was invented in Berlin. We found the most hip place in the city and was kicked away from our table by French Tv. The only thing missing is a Berliner Weisse - German wheat beer which is traditional as well.

Real men don't eat quiche

We found a little place near Oranienstrasse who served French style lunch. The sun was shining and it was great!

Traveling is about eating

It looks better than it was. We thought we had found a decent cheap baker near the hotel. But the fried eggs looked weird and the coffee was thin. And the purple and black haired lady behind the counter was huge and with a voice so deep she could have been a man.

And he ate the whole thing

Even Axel has his limits when it comes to meat. A whole eisbein was too much. Although much energy was spent walking all over Berlin.

And he ate the whole thing

but not alone. The 550 g delicious rib eye was for sharing. What a way to spend a father and son evening in Berlin.

Hard days work

We are tired tonight! The old tree is now cut up. We have a huge pile of wood. Now we just need a fire place.

First outside dinner of the year

It was awesome weather today. Axel and I returned from a weekend trip with his class at school and the Ellen and I went straight to work. We had tons of branches lying in the backyard from the big tree, that had been felled. It took many trips to the recycling station before they all were gone. But it was warm. So Rita wanted us to eat outside. And Axel had been begging for us to start the grill, so we could be the first again this year. Well, we did and it was wonderful. Although we did get quite cold after about 40 minutes. But we did and we were the first!

Spring concert

Rita played her first concert in solo yesterday. It was really really good.
