We had enough other pets without the need for wildlife.
I hadn't ordered it, wouldn't have ordered it,
wouldn't have had more than the one bite except
that Lilli couldn't finish it.
So you rescued her. (G)
I answered something like this before! So to
speak, the term is.
One interesting thing - on revisiting Germany,
I find the cold cuts a lot less salty than
their US counterparts.
Too bad you can't smuggle a supply in.
Neh, even though the customs regulations are
built around the most backward and xenophobic
doctrines dating from decades or centuries ago,
one doesn't go there.
I know, just trying to get your reaction.
Should I have said, oh, wha a good idea!?
That almost blew Steve's head off at one Chinese place in Berlin? I remember about where it was (how to get there on the bus) but don't remember the name or street name.
So it was that notably hotter than other
versions? What was the bus number?
I didn't try it but Steve did, and found it to be quite hot. But, that
was before he really got into hot stuff; he might not think it to be so
hot now. He tried a bit, just out of curiosity (normal for him) while we
were waiting for our meal.
One must note that the mustard-horseradish type
of hot is way different from the chile hot which
is different from the black pepper and various
other kinds of hot. And people have different
tolerances to different hots. For example, my
enjoyment and toleration for chile is pretty
high; for black pepper, well above average;
for the radishes, medium both in tolerance and
enjoyment; for mustard, fairly low for both;
Szechwan pepper, very low.
Bus line was #148 when we were there. Had been #48 but after the wall
came down and reunification, all the busses on the (former) west side
had 100 added to their previous number. It allowed the former east side
to keep their bus numbering.
As their education system didn't train them
for doing difficult tasks such as adding a 1
to their bus numbers.
There was a certain amount of distress
on the part of the husband when his wife
outdid him on the hot tolerance.
He should have graciously accepted the fact that she was more of a
chili > head than he was. Male pride?
Some of that, yes. She could also eat pure
salt without any effect: I don't know the
long-term effect of that, being out of touch
with them.
No way to connect thru f/book or other modern technology?
Wouldn't be worth the effort: might as well
connect to the friend requests I get. Anyhow,
for me, Facebook is a sometime thing, weekly
at best.
I had early experience with good hot
dogs (Partridge brand, with garlic)
followed by years and years of poor
ones, so except for a good Kosher-style,
I was raised on cheap hot dogs but now prefer a good sausage, given a
choice. Had some all beef hot dogs a few years ago (forget the brand) at
a church function that were pretty good; I did buy a pack or two but
that's been a while ago.
Being raised on something may or may not
correlate with having them or wishing to
have them later on in life.
they don't move me any more than would
peanut butter, often less. Now here's a
puzzler - the breakfast sausages at the
Sheraton Rockville were similar to but
better than any of the Nurnberger Bratwurst
we had in Nurnberg, Regensburg, Koln, Bonn,
Berlin, or Dresden.
Maybe America has gotten better at sausage making and Germany has gotten wurst?
Don't peanut-y.
YouTube has to have enough of that stuff
to tide you over for a while.
If I want to watch them that way.........
It's like a whiff of aroma coming from a
restaurant, better than nothing sometimes.
As if I didn't have enough other things to keep me busy. I'd rather
spend my time on other things.
If you want to do something, you make time. If
it's a low priority, that's fine too. For me
Blue Man Group would be a fairly low priority.
That might have been a concern for the days we
were in Wilmersdorf; in the east, pretty much
everything is new build and presumably less of
a concern.
We lived in Zehlendorf, about a block off Unter dem Eichen.
I've only gone through that district on the
train on my way to Potsdam.
Probably changed a good bit in the 26 years since we've been there.
For sure. Alexanderplatz is now an amazing place.
People kept frogs and toads in the same
way. Not too effectively, as I recall (I
never did, myself, feeling a mixture of
hating to have them around and hating to
deprive them of their freedom).
Not the sort of pet I'd have kept. We had cats, dogs, a small fish tank
and at least 2 canaries over the years I was growing up.
I'm not a pet person. I like them okay, but
that's not enough to make me want one. To me
pets are kind of like, er, Fritos. I enjoy
them when they're around, but they'd not be
missed if I never saw one again.
