In Food Heaven

Moving to a different country includes having to forgo some of your favorite food items. The bigger then is the joy if one finds unexpectedly something old familar.

I happened to have luck yesterday in an Asian grocery store. Not only could I stock up on my favorite staples,



I also found Maggi, a seasoning that is a "Must" for soups and stew in Germany and Austria. Even better, in addition, I discovered a special Dutch Gingerbread/cake (Honigkuchen) in the store, which I always had in my childhood in Germany. Oh boy, you can't imagine what memories are now flooding back - only good ones of course since they are about eating cake....
