Interesting Dinner
Well here it is Saturday, already. We were to our friends home for dinner last evening. They are German and from Munich. They have just returned from their home in Germany, only for a few months here this summer. We are so glad to have them back as we golf together. An interesting dinner. We started out at 4, when we arrived, with a cold coffee, made with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Yum, yum. And, I am not much of a coffee drinker. A couple hours later we had a glass of wine. We were inside, in the air, a very warm day. Which doesn't bother us, having the heat. So we went outside to have hot coffee and a fruit torte. Homemade by the hostess. It was delish. They have a lovely home, it sits on one of the Canals in Cape Coral. There was a nice breeze. An hour or so later, the hostess brought out our dinner. Salad, thinly rolled cooked beef stuffed with onions, cucumbers and seasonings. Add to that green beans and boiled potatoes, and a delishes gravy. Desert was a lemon custard. Interesting how they do not have a cocktail hour like the Americans do, with drinks and snacks. I like it better their way. But, for a little person like me, I could just have eaten the cake and that would have been my dinner. However, the dinner was lovely and the company also. They would like us to visit with them in Munich. That's always the best way to see a country, with someone who lives there. Perhaps we will, next year, on our way to Switzerland. Have a great weekend everybody. Barb

    Dinner sounds nice. Also sounds like it was a very LONG dinner. Or should I say "several courses"? Your right. You should visit them and have them show you around. That would a great idea. Mic
