That Powershot is a great camera as my friends have it too and I'm always surprised how well they work in low light.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-55561699638352639082011-08-15T02:35:50.380+10:002011-08-15T02:35:50.380+10:00@Sarah - apparently when I de-lurk I do it with a ...@Sarah - apparently when I de-lurk I do it with a vengeance!<br /><br />As far as avoiding pork goes, I was here for the first time as an exchange student in 1998-99, and it's certainly got a lot easier since then. The biggest issue is not large slabs of meat, but things like vegetable soups and fried potatoes, which have no reason to contain anything piggy but frequently do. I'm also far enough north that there's a fair bit of fish around at things like markets and fairs, so I'm not stuck existing on chips and fried cheese at certain times of year. <br /><br />I do cook a fair bit (some great markets here for ingredient-gathering), but I work at a university with a half-decent mensa, so I go through phases when I eat my main meal there and stick with bread, salad and cheese in the evenings. Which in Germany isn't exactly suffering...Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905529307987104069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-52597130051503039112011-08-14T21:12:16.690+10:002011-08-14T21:12:16.690+10:00Oh my - I would eat all that.

Ye...Oh my - I would eat all that. Majorly envious.<br /><br />Yes I'm going to say that about every one of your Germany posts ;-PEszhttp://kittysdrawings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-69041487075113070622011-08-14T19:29:41.240+10:002011-08-14T19:29:41.240+10:00@Michelle - Yup, it felt like we were sitting in s...@Michelle - Yup, it felt like we were sitting in someone's home!<br /><br />@Lauren - I think I'd be happy with cake farmers too! :) It must be really hard not eating pork here - do you find you cook a lot to avoid any nasty surprises? (Although I eat anything and everything now, I went through a 5-year period when I didn't eat any pork, so I can sympathise that it would be really tough!)<br /><br />I have had horse sausage here before, but I can appreciate that's not up everyone's alley! :)<br /><br />xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-87696485393756232362011-08-14T07:39:27.624+10:002011-08-14T07:39:27.624+10:00Glad to see I'm not the only one who checks ou...Glad to see I'm not the only one who checks out German license plates when going somewhere, to see where everyone has come from!<br /><br />There are a few farmers round here with food, but I think they seem to go in for cake rather than heaps of meat. Not such a bad thing, though - the dominance of the pig in German food is a little bit annoying at times, particularly since I'm Jewish. What I wouldn't give for a good beef sausage!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905529307987104069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-84008482746425003902011-08-13T09:22:12.261+10:002011-08-13T09:22:12.261+10:00This looks really home cooked!This looks really home cooked!Michelle Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011334364444806975noreply@blogger.com
