Last night we invited my mother-in-law for dinner.  She brought it.  As in dinner.  Everything from appetizers to dessert.  I only provided the wine and the bread.  I should probably be incredibly insulted as her opinion of my cooking must be pretty low but to be honest it works for me.  I got a great dinner, didn't have to cook and didn't even have to change out of my sweats! 

Anyhow...back to Germany.

Part three:  Directly across the street from one of the entrances to the US base is an organic farm that raises animals and grows produce that they sell on premises.  There is a bakery, a butcher, a dairy shop and a vegetable shop all located in lovely converted barns.  The animals they raise can be visited and petted which is sweet until you walk into the butcher's and realize that the cute little bunny you named Petey will be trussed up under these glass counters some day soon.  It's a bit disconcerting.   The bakery is frickin' amazing and it was all I could do not to buy everything in the place.  I settled for a humongous apple fritter type of thing.  We went with the sole purpose of buying a pumpkin for Halloween and left with bags of food.  Not Petey.

I need a haircut and I was cold, OK?!

In the afternoon we drove the girls into Frankfurt where they had a concert to go to and B and I wandered the city all evening, drinking beer and eating ridiculously heavy, gaseous food.  Frankfort's main square is beautiful, with a huge pink "Romer", the city hall, dominating it.  It really looks like a frosted cookie.
