Our friend Dirk is in the video a couple of times too. The diner where our breakfast group meets was on a Food Network show called Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The episode is finally up on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Check it out right here:

Favorite German People
I made a quick trip to Germany during Thanksgiving. It was part business trip, but I did have time to visit a few of our favorite people in Germany. Karsten is a very old friend, who you see eating German breakfast here, and Jini and Sascha are dear friends from our year in Muenster. It was really nice to enjoy their hospitality and home-cooked food during a hectic trip!
Birthday party/ Martinsumzug
My friend Gabi and I organize a joint birthday party every year. This year, we were both busy at the beginning of November, so we put off the party until almost two weeks in to the month and declared a Martinsumzug. St. Martin's day is essentially the German equivalent of Halloween. Children make lanters and parade with them at night. They are rewarded for their efforts with candy. We did an adults-only procession, and it was a big success. The photos show Gabi and Franziska singing a Martinslied and my friends Scott and Katy, caught in the act of parading through Ballard with a lantern.
