Das Essen

I sincerely believe that the mission of the chef and other cooks in the kitchen is to get me to eat and try every possible German dish they know how to make.

Clearly, I agree with this mission.

"Amy, we made you Black Forrest crepes and mixed berries."

"Amy, have you ever had real Black Forrest chocolate cake?" [which by the way I can have whenever I feel like walking into the Kuehlhaus, and trust me, it is not Black Forrest cake you order in America.]

"Amy, what do you want for dinner? We'll make you whatever."

"Amy, how do you feel about steak?"

I say yes to everything they make me and for good reason. It tastes delicious. Breakfast normally is ham and cheese on fresh bread. Lunch is small and normally just fruit from our Kuehlhaus. Then dinner is always an adventure.The other night they made me steak and then coated it in this mixture of onions, eggs, and mustard. Then you bake it. Now, I know what you are thinking... GROSS. But, trust me SO GOOODDD. Another favorite of mine is Kasespaetzle. Essenitally cheesy noodles, but twenty times better than mac'n'cheese. Shrimp with Kauterbutter on salad? German style omelets? Maultaschen? Gebacknes Eis (homemade deep fried ice cream)? Pesto, tomato, onions, noodles? Sauces to top everything off? Also, I eat some flavor of mousse almost every day.

Life is good.
