Road Trip!

[sweetsatingirl]

I havent gotten outo of Philadelphia in a while (with the exception of my very short trip to Atlanta). Anika, my new roomie, asked if I was interested in taking a road trip to Amish Country, and I said yes.

So off we go to the land of horse and buggy. I am excited to get to the countryside AND to get some sort-of, kind-of German food.

We have an

You should come over to Cincinnati for German food. Though it's probably too late to invite you for Oktoberfest since it starts tomorrow!

That picture is awesome, it'd make a great poster.

I dont think I have the copyright for that.

Oktoberfest....we have one here but the food is horrible. I would just rather make it all myself.

I rarely find anything that comes close to what my grandmother made...or what my mother still makes when i go to visit. I am glad that I paid attention growing up.

Ah, I misunderstood and realized that that picture was not one you have taken on your trip, because you haven't gone yet :P

What is your favorite German dish? I'm not a huge fan since I don't each much meat, but I do love beer cheese soup.

Ya know....of the 18 years I spent in Germany, I never had beer cheese soup. I wonder if its a German-American creation.

My favorite is Roladen....flat piece of beef with mustard and onions and bacon, rolled up and slow cooked in a dark beef/merlot sauce (thicker then Gulasch).

I eat sourkraut cold out of the bag (out of the can is nasty) and I love rotkraut with mustard.

Wow. I just had an odd experience reading that entry ... my name is the same as your roommate's (except with one more "n") and I live near Amish country in PA.

Maybe it wouldn't be so eerie if it weren't 6pm on a Friday (which is braindead time) ... dunno.
