I just realized that so far in my blog, I have left out information about 50% of who I am. My mom Ingrid is from Deggendorf, Germany. She and my grandparents came over to the United States after the war when she was about 6 months to start a new life in the land of the free. They settled in New York and the rest is history.
Inspired by her German roots, my Mom became a linguist. She studied French and German, and ended up becoming a German teacher. This brings me to the point of my post. Every year my Mom brings her students downtown to the Chriskrindlmarket. They spend the afternoon eating German food and checking out all the booths of handmade German crafts.
I can't say that I eat German food often, but when I do...it is decadent and delicious. This year I had Leberkaese (which is essentially bologna) with sauerkraut and German mustard...without the bun of course.
