I used to think Barney was the worst children's TV show ever. But then, I watched it in German. Nightmare!

The stuffed cabbage came out gorgeous. The meat filling was moist and dense and intensely flavorfull and the sweet and sour tomato sauce for it was perfection! Yummy! Oh my god it was good! And the Basel bread? It's heavenly. A crusty white loaf, a sourdough I think. It's so good you could live on it.

Dessert will be crepes with strawberries.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something wonderful will go just right and work out for a best friend of mine. In fact, I'm pulling out all the stops and wishing on a star for him as well.

Ramble, Ramble, I'm off to torment myself with another dose of strange continental television
