John let slip that one of his favorite restaurant entrees is beef wellington. I happen to have a recipe, and his birthday is Monday.
Does that make me the best boyfriend in the world, or utterly insane for contemplating this pastry-encased culinary monstrosity?
yes. Also, I've never had beef Wellington.

day2
we did an amazing hiking trip through the Wimbachklamm gorge, they build wooden walkways over the wild water,
in the afternoon we inva.... um....visited Austria on a trip to Salzburg, the 3rd biggest city of Austria, the whole town is UNESCO world heritage site
like berchtesgaden Salzburg was indipended until the time of Napoleon, ruled by an Lord-Archbishop.
Salzburg, as the name (Saltcastle) suggests, became rich through salt mining and salt merchants, Keep Highsaltcastle is one of the biggest castles in europe
Salzburg is the birthplace of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

No worries. I've got Bracers of Protection from the Northeastern City That's Too Full of Itself +5.

Hmmm...you do have a point....so I have fixed it for me!

day3: the salt day
we started with a tour through Berchtesgaden salt mine, active since 1517 and still providing the mayority of table salt in germany
in the afternoon we visited the St. Rupertus salt spa in Bad Reichenhall where we floated in a grotto of salt brine, sat in the salt steam bath and got a salt skin peeling (yes, me too, my skin was never softer:-D)

Now I know that's not true. I know my favorite city on the planet, and it definitely is not, and could never be, NYC.

day 4:
we started our travel home with a stop in munich, where we had a tour through the Allianz Arena and the museum of Bayern München
We where in the locker room, saw the 22 copies of the championship disk, the15 national cups, the UEFA cup-winners-cup from 67, the UEFA Cup and the 4 Champions League trophies
also memorabilia from the heros of my youth: Paul Breitner, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Klaus Augenthaler....
the iconic legends of the 70s: "the Kaiser" Franz Beckenbauer, "The bomber" Gerd Müller, "the bull" Franz Roth, "the cat from Anzing" Sepp Maier......
and the superstars of the last 20years: Matthäus, Elber, Kahn, Scholl, Effenberg.......
the highlight was the original championship disk, awarded last saturday, not even cleaned jet after the party
after 6 hours in traffic jam we decided to do another stop in Nürnberg and walked through the famous old town and ate Nürnberger Bratwürste (the recipe has it's 700th birthday this year)
late in the evening we where home
there will be pics posted
and before any Uri-clone will ask:
no only pics from OUTSIDE the hotel room will be posted (the others are kind of blurry anyway)

Yay, I survived the Eurovision final without hearing a single song.
...then I ended up keeping the re-run on in the background while I was collating new magic items from last month's Pathfinder products...
My top-4 would have been
1) Greece - but since they're skint I'd have let my number 2 win.
2) Norway
3) Belgium
4) Denmark

No love for Bonny Tyler? :P

And IFK Göteborg wins again. A double from Hysén*, and 20 points after 9 games.
*Not the guy who played for Liverpool last time they won the league, his son**.
**Which, as a Liverpool fan, is a bloody depressing statement as to how long it's been since the glory days.
well, champions league and UEFA cup in the last ten years,
and I think some FA Cups?aeglos |
