Dunkle Zweibelsoße

I’m recycling a picture of the amazing Black Forest cake that Ryan made me on my birthday -- but he made another cake for a dinner party last weekend. We went to Melissa and Spencer’s new beautiful house down south and it’s now helped us put a framework around our wants for a single-family home...we’ll talk about that later.

Last night, I made my first real German gravy from scratch! Since we both love onions (zweibel, auf Deutsch) and we were having Bacon-wrapped Turkey Steaks I made “Dunkel Zweibelsosse” which means “Dark Brown Onion Gravy.” Once it was done I had Ryan taste and he said that it “tasted like Germany” which made me so proud!

I love my cookbook! Also I made Kartoffelnpuffer (Potato pancakes) which were amazing too -- they’re like a lump of hashbrowns with egg added and then sauted. I used a prepared mix so it actually tasted like a McDonald’s hashbrown in some ways...they must add egg to theirs.

Time to read the paper and see what’s out on the market. We put a 2-page list of “must-haves/deal-breakers, nice-to-have, and dream” items for a potential house. The search begins!

Tschüss!
