In my eternal quest for weird foods to enjoy, I have found the tuber Salsify.
It looked just like this! In the bag that I bought from the grocery store, these long beauties were completely encrusted with dirt. After scrubbing and peeling them, the bag helpfully suggested that I cook them with chesse. Done! I made an easy gratin with garlic rubbed on the baking dish, milk, a little butter and some Emmentaler. I served it with lentils, beets, and pesto. Now, if you are thinking how lucky you are not to be married to me, I would like to assure you that this was delicious (and Jeremy does agree). Horray for winter vegetables, I say.
On Saturday, I taught a baroque dance workshop at the Music Conservatory in town to the early music students. About 30 people showed up, and we had a nice time-- they very nicely overlooked all the German mistakes I made while trying to teach. I was invited back in April to listen to the students play in order to coach them on how to play for dancers. Cool!
Piece by piece, the show is coming together. Now we are rehearsing with the musicians and the singer! Everyone knows what they should be doing on stage, so at this point it is a matter of running it so that everything is smooth and meaningful. Our media blitz continues... we are supposed to be a "Tages Tip" (tip of the day) in the magazine Kölner Illustriert-- it comes out tommorrow, so I will run over to the nearest store to pick one up (and it should be online, too. I'll let you know.)
Liebe Grüße,
deine Sarah

Whoa, that puts a new spin on it...
Oh,Sarah. Jeremy would eat anything you asked him to - remember squid ink pasta?
Glad the rehearsals are going well. I hope the notices about the show bring in lots of people!!
Oh, heavens to Betsy, I am not some kind of Svengali. Jeremy is just as weird as I am and he wanted to eat that squid ink pasta.
But I am glad that I didn't get it at that birthday dinner because it didn't taste so good. :)
