I realized I hadn't posted anything in a while-- somehow this Köln Tanzt show sapped all of my energy, even though I was on stage for a scant 15 minutes. I did spend some time volunteering last week-- wrapping packets of newspaper in cellophane (btw, German cellophane is vastly inferior to American) and ironing tablecloths. All this grunt work (plus my sunny attitude) did get me an invite to Berlin from the set designer. Now if only I can find another reason to go...
I also made friends with a few modern dancers and the hip-hop/breakdance kids. There are some very friendly folks in the German dance scene, especially the other dance 'outsiders'. Adorably, the oldschool hip-hop girl asked me how she could get more theater work-- she said she was tired of doing commercial shows. If only I knew!
The cherries are in the stores! I broke my 'only Köln' veggie and fruit rule, in order to make my famous spring cherry clafouti, and I couldn't resist picking up some big fat white asparagus, too. I mean, one can only do so much with the apples, carrots, and kohlrabi that came this week in my veggie box from the farm. No more giant bunches of rübstiel. Boo-hoo.

Cherries were in the store here also but at $4.99/lb they're still there. Hope the price comes down as local cherries come in season. What did you do with the white asparagus? Does it taste different than the green?
Never hurts to expand your circle of contacts. What is old school hiphop? Isn't that an oxymoron?
mary ellen- white asparagus is very different from green! the smallest one i saw was thicker than any green ones we would reject as too old! It is tasty cooked on the grill.
Sarah- so much you are doing! How was your TV spot? I couldn't see it- they dont' allow us to get fereign sites on the company conputers (unless you are very savvy-i'm not!)
Networking is key- sounds like you are doing a lot of it! and having some fun while you are doing it.
we have frost warnings out tonite- can't decide whethter to shroud my yard or let the plants weather the night!
Yeah, the taste of white asparagus is definitely different, but it's hard for me to describe. I'm going to try to braise it and make some kind of dill sauce (the farm sent lots of dill!).
Old school hip-hop is the style from the 1980s... we made jokes that the two of us were the 'old-fashioned' girls.
Oh, and Kathy, the TV spot was fun. My first time doing live TV AND speaking in German in public. Maybe I can scrounge up a tape from someone...
