I forgot to post this earlier...

I posted pics of Tim making Daddy's FAT Pie at The Know-Nothing Gourmet!

My silent, turn-the-head-so-they-don't-see laugh of the day:

The pride in Aiden's voice as he says, "Mama! Look, I'm sharing!" I turn to see Aiden taking the cookie out of Noah's hand and taking a bite!

This is thirty buck cheese. I don't know why it is; it just is. One day Aiden dragged it out of the fridge and proclaimed it "thirty buck cheese". If it's Kraft, and it's orange, it qualifies as thirty buck cheese.

Sunday I bought him a sandwich from Subway. He opened it up, pulled out the cheese (it was white) and held it up suspiciously. "Mama, is this thirty buck cheese?" I assured him it was. He smiled, put it back in between the bread and ate it.

Chillin' at Chili's

Noah loves corn on the cob!
She was checking to see if I was gone!

Chili's on base at Ramstein is the one place we feel like Americans! We get free water and refills, and good ole American food! It's a little bit of the homeland.

Yes, we take pictures of our food!

Last Tuesday, the day of my surgery, we were looking for a place to pick up some dinner on the way home from the hospital. Everything, restaurants included, tend to close early here, and the two places we went first were both closed on Tuesdays. Finally, we decided to check out Papa Razzo, an Italian German place in Oberweis, which we drive by on our way home. They were open, friendly, and the food was out of this world! This is why we like Germany!

We went back this week, and decided to document it!

The top picture is of my Greek salad, herbed cheese stuffed into any veggie they could get it in. The middle picture is our vegetarian pizza with spinach and garlic added. The bottom picture is Tim's meal, beef cutlets in blue cheese sauce, with spatzle and bread with herbed cheese, with a side salad. The Germans cannot be outdone when it comes to their salads. My theory is that they make amazing salads to compensate for their love affair with fried foods.
