Today was a bad day. I ate milk chocolate with yogurt in it. I ate macadamia nut cream with hydrogentated yuck yuck in it AND milk powder. I ate some other fake chocolate. I ate chocolate covered corn flakes. It was a bad day. And my tummy is still trying to recover from the chocolate covered popcorn I ate on Tuesday at the Christmas market. It feels like my intestines are being beaten. Not a good couple days.
I had, as usual, a busy week. Thanksgiving last weekend was a lot of fun - we had pilgrim and indian hats that we wore and we feasted. Well, the others feasted and I stuffed myself with the gluten/milk free pumpkin pie I made. So yummm.
Met up with Ning and Adriana at the Xmas markets on Tuesday and had lots of Glühwein while talking with people from Ning's language school. Interesting crowd- American soldier, French club owner, definite German hippy, cute little Japanese chickadee, and an Afghani/German teacher.
Last night went out for Chinese Wok with Ning, Dirk, Charlotte, little Elliott, and Adriana. We ate SO much. I had never had Chinese Wok before - very different than the coconut-milk-with-veggies-wok I am used to. This is more like a giant bowl of boiling broth that you throw things into (meats, veggies, etc) and then ladle out into your own little bowl with sauce in it that you make yourself. It was a lot of fun, especially since I hadn't seen Charlotte in so long and same with Adriana.
Tomorrow leaving for Hamburg! Excited to see the Christmas markets in Lübeck, get my shop on, and wander a new city!!
Talking to Weener tonight. SO EXCITED. Haven't talked to her in forever. YAY for great friends!
I am blessed.
Here are some pictures from the Christmas markets in Hamburg and Lübeck.. Super fun weekend with some good friends.
