There are so many things that are different about life here. Many I will not write about on the internet but here's a funny one. I was making veggie soup the other day and took a potatoe out of the bag and pulled this out -- huge thing, more like three potatoes grown together. My friend here in the complex said they are often like that. Also, I have to wash them very good -- they are very sandy. Which makes sense but I didn't know you could grow potatoes in the sand. The skin is very, very thin -- just washes right off. They look different but taste the same.
It's been fun to cook here just to see if things turn out. We had some of Gerhard's team members from work over for dinner. I decided to make my "Oma" rolls. I always make them at home using my Kitchen Aide -- it has a break hook and makes the job of kneading dough much easier. So I made these rolls the "old fashioned" way -- kneading them by hand. Actually, they turned out lighter and fluffier than usual. Here's a picture of the guys that had to eat them!
