Grilling Party

That night for dinner we head back to the Rothweilers for what I think is supposed to be a party in the Garden of Nana and Dominik, but turns out to be in the green house at Fritz and Ingrid’s. They had decided it was just too cold outside to grill. The green house is toasty and the food delicious. Dominik grills four or five meats including thick slices of bacon that Scott particularly enjoys, and salmon for Erin (which seems like the fish she gets to eat constantly). The meat and veggies and many German salads are accompanied by Nana’s wonderful garlic sauce that she refuses to give the recipe out for and also her curry sauce. It is a lovely evening. The weather that was perfect during the day suddenly turns to a downpour and we all sit in the green house listening to the rain thundering on the roof. We are all safe from the wet, except for Tom, who insists he has to go to the bathroom, and takes off into the woods with a towel draped over his head. We make plans to get cakes the next day at the Konditori I had worked at when I was 16 – Popp’s – that also just happens to have the best cakes for miles and miles around. We decide on a cake party for the afternoon as it will be our last day to spend some time with the older folks. We also, find wi-fi for the first (and what looks to be our last) time - this allows us, with Nana's help to fill out the internet form for the German Bahn lost and found in hopes of locating Scott's missing bag.
