I don’t know if it’s because I don’t know that much about German food or because there is a beautiful display of produce on every corner that I feel like cooking here. It may also because I’ve been in flux for so long – still am really if you were to see the state of our furniture-less apartment – that I am trying to create a feeling of home. Or, it could simply be that there is a chill in the air and I want to have something warm and delicious. Whatever it is, I am much more interested in making dinner at home than I am to go out right now.
This desire has presented a bit of a challenge if you consider what I have: a frying pan, a pot, two plates, bowls, and cups, a knife and cutting board, a colander, and a rag-tag mix of random utensils.
Last night it was sausage (I am in Germany after all) and eggs. Tonight yellow lentil soup – with more sausage. Though the meals may be simple and fit into one pot (or pan) they have done they have been hardy and tasty – exactly what I was looking for.
About Me
- Erin
- Ridgewood, NJ, United States
- In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
A Southern Something
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.

Do all Germans cook the whole meal in one pan? Didn't Grampa Webber cook all his meals in one pan (skillet-super)?
Aunt Nancy just told me that Grandpa Weber was also known to boil his sausages.
