Pfifferlinge
Yum. Pfifferlinge are mushrooms that are widely available here in Munich. I have seen them in the market and have eaten them in numerous restaurant dishes. They are usually very small (much smaller than they appear here) and also very tasty. I love them!
The other night we went out to dinner at a place with a Steinpilzkarte -- a special menu featuring only dishes made with mushrooms! I had pfifferlinge. Again!
Please excuse the recent silence. I have not been able to get to the internet cafe for two days, and I am still not hooked up from home. But there is good news from München! Our sea shipment was delivered yesterday! We had been led to expect it next week sometime. It was great to receive it so soon. So last night I cooked our first dinner in the new place, and we slept in our own bed! Ziggy was so happy that his purrs shook the entire bed.
And more good news! The last box from the air shipment arrived with the sea shipment! So I was very happy to be reunited with my Lillian Vernon dishes, my mugs, my Sheffield silver knives (UKSusie, can you imagine my screams of anguish if they had really been lost?), my water glasses from Vermont, etc. What a relief!
I am hoping to get the internet working at home today (please please please) but I am waiting for a CD with the necessary software, username, and password to arrive in the mail. And every day I check the mail and it isn't here! But maybe today.
One more word on the beer, since I know Frank and Amanda need to know: We got a case of 20 half-liter bottles of Paulaner Oktoberfestbier for less than $13. Can you imagine?!
Oh, and the beer is much cheaper than Coke. Everywhere you go.
