USA! USA!

Tonight was a "Kockabend" (cooking evening). Somehow USA got roped into being the host. Well, Jaimie actually got roped into it, but I ended up doing most of the cooking. She chose the menu. She decided on pancakes. I know that sounds a bit silly, but American pancakes are quite different from European pancakes. European pancakes are more like crepes. They are very thin, not fluffy at all.
So we cooked up a HUGE batch of pancakes. A lot of international students came and loved it! We were even able to find maple syrup! (Not common in Germany...and very expensive. 5 euros was the cheapest we could find)

This is the first batch....
Didn't turn out so well. Jaimie and I ate them!

Now we're cooking!

Cooking up a storm!

Yum yum pancake batter!

Flipping the flapjacks!

Of course....peanut butter and syrup!!!

 We were so glad that so many people came to try American pancakes!!!! (which also meant we had to make A LOT
of pancakes!) hahahahaha. Love the decorations!

 Made ourselves a nice big mess

Jaimie can't wait to eat some pancakes!!

Other than the really fun Kochabend, things have been going well. My new bike is great. My classes are going well...even art history!
My job can definitely be stressful at times though :( I'm making amazing money, so it kind of makes up for it! It's nice to live a comfy life, and still be able to save up some money! :)

I miss everybody from home. Especially now that the holiday season is approaching. I am looking forward to going to Nuernberg with JW. We are going the first weekend in December to celebrate our birthdays. Nuernberg has the most famous "Christkindlesmarkt" (Christmas Market) in the world! It should be a lot of fun!!
