i was going to make some spinach pesto. i bought some fresh spinach in sharm el sheikh last thursday and needed to use it. so i was going to make some to freeze to have on hand when i got a PHONE CALL. my phone actually rang! a girl i had met last week and is a diver invited me to her house to make the pesto since she had a blender...score.
we decided to ride bikes and her friend had an extra one. we went to his house to borrow it and was invited in for a brewskie. or two...then another bro showed up with a flat of beer....two more people...two more....and A DUCK IN THE OVEN. say what?! next thing i know i'm surrounded by all GERMANS FROM THE EAST! duck...wine....braised red cabbage and boiled potatoes with gravy. doesn't get much eastern german than that! it is so amazing to me to think of my grandfather and my great uncles fighting in a war they could NEVER imagine would bond their granddaughter with "the enemy".
it was so lovely to enjoy a home cooked meal! roasted duck! they are all divers and i felt a bit left out since i know nothing about diving. they all kind of look at me blankly like "then why are you HERE?"
i'm figuring that one out.
