My Life's Ingredients

  That’s for my American Friends…   We’ve opened our house to friends again who like American Football – this time the 2nd game is quite interesting, Miami Dolphins vs Dallas Cowboys (DH’s team vs one of our best friends’ team), so it will be fun. We’ve cooked pies (2 Sweet potato pies – done by me - & DH’s Key Lime Pie) and DH is still going to make some Philly Cheese Steak Ciabattas and are expecting a total of 5 friends (one had to cancel). Think with the twins we will have more and more “events” at our place, and I quite like it that way. And here are some photos of my Sweet Potato Pies (first attempt ever to make them – the pie shells are shop bought though). WHOAAAAH! I really have to check out my mobile phone camera! That’s just ridiculous! They are a nice orangey colour!!! And that’s the before btw. And here’s the AFTER picture – you still can make out the NFL on the left pie, the marshmallows didn’t melt, just brown … can’t wait to have a slice!! YUMM!!!

Geesh – is it really the 10th already???? Let’s see what I manage this time… Decided on the Markets/fun fairs etc in Germany I’ve visited often while still living there – either just for fun or working (all linked to Kriftel as member of the Kriftel Red Cross Group). All photos bar the Hofheimer Wochenmarkt one are stock photos from the Internet. Christmas Market Frankfurt Christmas Market Hofheim (stalls manned by members of sports clubs, Red Cross etc selling stuff for their organisations) Krifteler Red Cross Christmas Market (Small Christmas Market at the Sports hall Kriftel with the Red Cross selling food, handmade things and holding a Raffle, plus having Santa coming around – worked in stalls myself for several years) Christmas Market Rothenburg (beautiful Christmas market set within the city walls of Rothenburg) Hofheimer Wochenmarkt (Farmers Market) Hoechster Wochenmarkt (Farmers Market)
