Life in Germany June 2018

It was quite a busy month with friends visiting and birthday celebrations.  there were a few rainy days but most of the time it was sunny and warm, just as summer should be.


as I still had some friends visiting, we decided to walk around landsberg then the next day in Munich.  so happy the weather was still nice.

i missed making real pizza, it was great that i found a gluten free alternative but i just wanted to make some real pizza dough.  maybe it had been so long since i had made pizza dough that this one came out a bit too soft, it was a bit difficult to roll out and form into a circle without it sticking everywhere.  however it was still delicious in the end, homemade pizza is always the best.  a dream or fantasy for far in the future is to have my own pizza oven.

my birthday dinner was a surprise, i didn't know where we would be going.  we went to schlossangler alp, a gasthaus high up in the mountains close to the alps, however the weather was really horrible that day so the only view we could see that day was grey with a lot of rain.  we will need to come back when the weather is nicer to actually see the nice view, but i have also heard there are many hiking paths nearby.  despite the bad weather the evening was still great, good company and really excellent food.  a somewhat traditional bavarian kitchen but all was prepared very well.

i still had some time to do some simple cooking.  as we haven't had fish in awhile did a simple pan fried salmon with a miso sauce.  then on another night i did a simple roast chicken with vegetables.

during the last weekend of june my parents came to visit for a night as they were already in paris.  so we took them around to the different lakes around us.  First stop was the wörthsee, for another great meal at seehaus Raabe and this time we had a table outside so we could enjoy the sunset.
