Germany 2015 - Recipes!

I had so much yummy food while I was in Germany! My host mom gave me the recipes for some of my favorite foods, which I am going to share with you. However, some of the ingredients are different than what we have in the US so I need to find out some more details for some of them, as well as translate it into my units of measurement, and you may have to, as well. But, here they are! I may update this post if I find out something important about one of the ingredients. Happy German cooking!

Amerikaner (sugar cookies, German style)

100 gram butter

100 gram sugar

1 package vanilla sugar

2 eggs

45 grams milk

1 little bottle butter-vanilla-aroma

250 grams flour

1 package vanilla custard powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

Mix all of the ingredients. Make little cookie piles with a spoon (like any cookies) on a baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)

Nuss-Streifen (really yummy nut cake!)

120 grams butter

3 eggs

300 grams sugar

300 grams ground hazelnuts

250 grams milk

200 grams flour

1 package backing soda

Mix all of the ingredients. Then put the cake mix in a greased baking tray about 30x36 cm. Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Cake icing: whole milk chocolate with chopped hazelnuts on top

Tomato Salad

(Sorry, my host mom didn't have an actual recipe of how much stuff to put in, so you'll have to do as I will and just figure it out.)

Tomatoes cut up (into fourths or maybe smaller if you prefer)

Basil, parsley, chives, balsamic-vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, and possibly onions

Potato Salad (SO much better than PA Dutch potato salad!)

1 kilogram fixed potatoes - cook, peel, cut slices

1 onion diced

1 cup hot broth

salt, pepper, vinegar, oil season

with chives garnish

Potato "bratl"

1 kilogram pork with skin, with salt and pepper season

1 big onion

1 clove of garlic

Put all into a pot in 200 degrees Celsius (392 Fahrenheit)

When the onion is brown, brew with broth. Regularly top with broth. Fry 1.5 hours.

400 grams potatoes

2 big carrots

peel, halve, and add in. Fry one more hour.

Thailand 2017: Falling in Love with ZOE

A place where broken children become whole through the love of Jesus and lonely children become part of a family. Where hope is restored and hurts healed. Where a new chance at life blooms. Where laughter echoes through open air hallways and smiles grow. It's a beautiful place of beautiful people, and it's a place that I fell in love with. It's ZOE International. PC: ZOE From stepping onto the plane August 15 to stepping off on August 27, I went on a short term mission trip to Thailand through ZOE International. When I left for the trip, I had no idea what to expect, and all I really knew about ZOE was that they work to prevent child trafficking, rescue children, and help them through the restoration process. I had heard about it through one of their missionary couples who spoke twice at the church I started attending a couple of years ago. I was not prepared for all that ZOE is: children so happy, loved and at home that you would never know their past; am

Durham 2020: Visiting Jaden

It was to be a cold weekend in Pennsylvania, with snow forecast for Saturday. Thankfully, I was going to North Carolina. That meant waking up very, very early in the morning Friday, January 17 in order to make my 6 AM flight from Philadelphia airport. It was also my first time traveling solo, my first time traveling in a season besides summer, and my first time having already checked in online for my flight. Travel Tip: Check in online! Whether you print out your ticket or have it on your phone, it cuts out a major chunk of time and streamlines your flight process by skipping the long lines at the desk. I was also using my beautiful new, blue carry-on suitcase, with 360 wheels. (The best part? I got it for free at my work banquet!). It definitely made walking through the airport smoother, especially standing in lines. Of course, it was a tiny plane, so my suitcase got gate-checked, which is pretty handy anyway. What a short flight! There was barely time for the flight attendan

Germany 2015 - June 23

Tuesday was a long day. We met at the school at 6:45 and the seniors (the grade of kids who came over to the US through GAPP last spring) were there early getting ready for their water attack on the other students (it was when the graduating seniors had their "crazy-day"). We saw several of the Germans who had come over. The bus ride to Neuschwanstein was horrendous. The traffic was so bad through München (Munich) that we were driving for about an extra hour, so instead of three hours, it was four. Yuck! I listened to music almost the entire ride there. Finally we arrived, and it started to drizzle a bit as we waited for those who needed to use the bathroom (and public bathrooms, or the "WC," in Germany almost always cost 50 cents to use), but then, thankfully, it cleared up and we didn't have any rain the rest of the day. Then some went to wait in line for a horse and carriage to take them up to the castle, and the rest of us walked. Cassandra and I
