This is Spargel. It is delicious.



My host prepared some for me a few days ago, she served it with potatoes and assorted meats. It was one of my favorite meals that I have had here. It is like regular asparagus but thicker and less like a vegetable, which is why the Germans love it. To serve it you must also make a special cheese sauce that is also wonderful.


Mom, Dad, if you're reading this come to Germany immediately and eat Spargel. I know how much you love regular asparagus.


Today is Katarin's (host's daughter) birthday and to celebrate we had Spargelsuppe, which is a soup made from Spargel. It is wonderfully creamy and delicious.



First meeting of our Sprachkurse happened today. It looks way too easy, but at the same time I don't really need to learn anything new I just need review. This class is cool because there are international students in it, and they are friendly. Like the guy from Turkey who laughed when I bought what was basically a corndog out of the vending machine. It was bad, not much else to say about that.


Also ate döner today. It was pretty good. Not that that is unusual or anything...
