Just came back from the Bay where we checked the mailbox, did some shopping at Woolies, and dropped in at a German neighbour at Long Beach with whom I'd been having long telephone conversations for the past month or so, but had never met.
They say, "Gott hüte mich vor Sturm und Wind, und Deutschen die im Ausland sind", but I'm happy to make an exception when it comes to Franz, and not just because he gave me a packet of original German potato pancake dough mix to try out.
more years of good ol' Mixed Grill and lamb chops, and it shows!
If you read this, Frank and Robyn, thanks for your hospitality, and catch up with you by phone and in person in a couple of weeks' time. I like anything Pfanni, so I'm rushing to try out the German potato pancakes!
