<p> Good Morning Folks,</p><p>it has cooled down a little outside, but not yet inside, although we keep all windows open. We are just not used to this type of weather, here up north. Hamburg is close to the same latitude as Anchorage, but we are currently "enjoying" Caribbean weather.</p><p>Flo, I need a lot of coffee this morning, IV, if you´d please care.</p><p>I am just back from a trip to my LHS to discuss my "contest" entry. Although the owner liked the idea, he will not be going for it, as he is not selling Eishindo stuff. If I´d only known that earlier! The "winner" is an entry showing a more appropriate scene for a Christmas display - a winter scene in the mountains, with a cog railway just shuttling back and forth, simple to build and cheap, just two lengths of flextrack and a switch. The train will be Fleischmann piccolo N scale electric cog loco with two cars.</p><p>It would have been nice building this layout, but you can´t win ´ em all, can´t you? </p><p><b>Garry </b>- I heard what you said about Petra´s apple strudel and conveyed your wish to her. Now if we are able to get the temps down in the kitchen, she will be firing up the oven and make a load for the Diner. Oven fresh strudel with a topping of vanilla ice cream and rum-raisins - yummy!</p><p><b>Zan </b>- I am living in the region, where "Goetta" is supposedly coming from. I never heard of that stuff and I have never seen being sold. It sounds very much like the Scottish "Haggis" or the Palatinate "Saumagen", both being meat and some stuff to "extend" it, seasoned and pressed into some sort of "containment". The old and traditional way of cooking is very much on the retreat here in Germany, as less and less people actually do prepare a whole meal by themselves. "Convenience food" is the name of the game - you know that "just add, water, or milk, thoroughly cook until it boils - ready to be served" stuff. I am lucky to have Petra, who likes to cook and knows how to handle herbs and spices!<br></p><p> Ein gutes Wochenende allen meinen Freunden im Forum! <br></p>
