Social media really is a strange and sometimes wonderful thing. Unexpected connections can come when you least expect them.
A facebook friend of mine, David, recently said that a cucumber salad he'd prepared gave him gastronomic flashbacks to eating the same salad at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, during the year he spent there working on his dissertation. I commented on his post, to the effect that I too had spent a fair bit of time in that beautiful city while my father was on sabbatical. I suggested that we get together and share a meal of Bavarian specialties- his cucumber salad and some Weisswurst with Lowensenf and Weißbier So we did!
This past Sunday David and Liz came over and we enjoyed a tasty plate of boiled sausage and much conversation and sharing of pictures from Bavaria. We had a great time and ate altogether too much.
This post wouldn't be complete without a picture of Sam, who also enjoyed the Bavarian repast. Here he is enjoying his favorite pastime- emptying and sorting the tupperware drawer in the kitchen. This fascination keeps him happily busy for... minutes on end.
