Okay so we are here in Nuremberg, Germany. It is rather cold and rainy. I have spent the last few days reading and translating the everyday tools of life; the washer, the dryer, the microwave ( I will get to that later), the oven and few other things. Yikes a lot of work!
The first day was good..we had an appointment in town for our residency permits, so when we got there early, we stopped for a cup of coffee. The best part of Germany is the Milche Kaffee, outside in the lovely coffee shops. I must admit this was the best Milche Kaffee I have had yet! I also walked 5 blocks for a bit of groceries, only to remember, after getting there, that you NEED to bring your own bags. Well I NEEDED groceries so I carried them home in my hands. A bit funny walking down the street with a head of lettuce, some cheese, cookies and few odd's and ends in my hands but well I got the groceries didn't I? Next time I won't forget the bag!
So the microwave...this morning when we got up I thought it would be nice to make David an egg. I found a little dish and rubbed some butter in it, I don't know if they have "Pam" here yet. I dropped in an egg, scrambled it and popped it into the microwave. Punched in what I thought was a min. and waited. Upon opening the door I notice a bright red glow on the top of the microwave. Hmmm is that what the grill sign means - this microwave grills as well as microwaves? So I punched in another 30 sec and this time figured out how to just microwave the runny middle of David's gourmet egg! Success. So after he left for work, I wrote down everything in German from the microwave on a paper and headed toward the computer to figure it all out. Job well done, well until the next time.
So the week is off to... well a start, let's see what the rest of the week brings.
Until next time tschuss (informal good-bye)
Regen, regen, wo ist mein regenschirm?
