I know, it was heartily disappointing not to be able to scavenge food from the park, but Jeremy and I are both now agreed that the whole chestnut business is too much of a pain. When he came home last night, I had roasted the suckers for an additional half an hour to try to take away the bitter flavor. I gave my darling husband a crack at peeling the horrid nuts, but he also recoiled in disgust at the evil taste. Hmmmm. I think grilling may be the best way... with plenty of kölsch, naturally. These nuts were so bitter, that they made everything else taste horribly sweet-- like if you eat too much artichoke.
By the way, as we search for the best and cheapest flights home for Christmas, we are running into the dismaying problem of flights from Germany to America suddenly discontinuing after November. Of course, it must be the economy, stupid. We may have to take a boat.

Karen! Disappointment is so much easier to write about---
Can't wait for the Atlantunnel! Then I could ride my bike!
I said hi to your package as it passed by (as I do to all the America-bound UPS packages).
Hey, we've been waiting for that tunnel too!
