Wurst of the Week - 9/15
I didn’t see many sausages in Greece, though this one caught my eye. Who really wants a hot dog, frozen on a bun with all the fixing’s in one, pre-packaged container?
This blog was originally called "Überall," which means "everywhere" or "everything" in German. It made sense at the time, since I was writing about my time abroad. Once I moved back, it didn't work as well. With the addition of a space, a letter, and an apostrophe, it is now much more appropriate for my new locale.
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.
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.
