coffee brewing, too soon to figure out food

1. We usually do a big breakfast on weekends

Not today. Since mom-in-law is visiting down from the north, we are doing a traditional German meal schedule, having the big meal of the day for lunch. Thus--a light breakfast today.

Coffee for the women, and my usual Constant Comment tea sweetened with apricot marmalade. Fresh rolls and Warburger bread from a local bakery, and marmalade from a local artisan who sets up at the farmers market every Saturday: my two favorites. One is a combination of white peach and raspberry, and the other is a combination of apricot and passion fruit.

Lunch will be vegetarian Vietnamese-style spring rolls, nasi-goreng made for us by an Indonesian friend, Swiss-style potato röstis, and a salad.

That ought to do us for a few hours at least!

2. Hello DFW

I remember as young man in west Germany 1985-86 when we were in garrison. I’d hop a train to butzbach to visit friends I always had a open invitation. Some of my fondest memories when we would all meet at a bakery and have coffee and sweets. My friend was a railroad worker and his wife was a teacher he fought in Russia. And his wife. Always felt that I needed a family while in army I spent two Christmases and one Easter with them. I’d always bring Marlboro or whiskey for gifts. And my friends wife would say you do not make much money as a soldier please stop. And for her I’d bring flowers fine people very loving people and their extended family always treated me well.

Enjoy the time with family friends.

3. Butzbach is less than 30 KM from where my daughter lives

Butzbach is up closer to Giessen, and my daughter lives down in Königstein, closer to Frankfurt. People in small towns are like that here. In our small town outside of Düsseldorf, when our "new (over 25 years now) " neighbors moved in, they knocked on our door to introduce themselves, saying they were glad to have neighbors their own age. We immediately liked them, as we are both ten years older than they are. We now eat dinner together at least once every two weeks, and have gone on vacation together, both in Cape Cod, USA, and in Vienna (he is Austrian).

As for family and friends, we are trying to arrange a month-long trip to the USA next week for just that--not the easiest thing to do these days.

4. Hardees 2 for 1 egg, bacon and cheese biscuits.

Because I'm a night nurse and don't feel like cooking breakfast this morning when I get off work.

6. made pizza a breakfast item

I put one egg fixed like a crepe (only no flour) over the top of the spinach-mozzarella pizza and warmed it in the oven. Have a chili sauce to put on each miniature slice.

Slice of zucchini-potato cake.

Sumo oange, sectioned, with a little agave. Sumo orange is a cross between the satsuma and mandarin-pomelo variety. Japanese.

I'm trying a new kombucha this a.m.: "Clear Mind." Made with rosemary, sage, mint and green tea.
