Our House

Grillfest

The way our driveway is set up we have 7 houses in a little circle.  We llive in the old Sandstone house, the other 6 houses are duplexes, and all but one have kids which makes for lots of fun. There's lots of space to play plus it's not in the street, so we have it pretty good.




We try and make it a point to get together a few times a year, to eat drink and be merry.  Basically we had a BBQ, but we call it a "Grill-Fest". What would a grillfest  be without good German beer?!







We had to move into someones garage because it started to rain, but that didn't stop us from having fun and hanging out. 


It's so wonderful having nice neighbors. 

A Light Dessert You'll LOVE!

Birgit's Yoghurt Bomb

Ingredients:
3 bottles of Rama Cremefine (19%) or 3 x 250ml (US: 3 x 8.5 fl oz) of cream
1 kg (US: 2.2 lb) non-flavored low-fat (0.1%) yoghurt
140 g (US: 0.3 lb) sugar
2 packages (15g each) vanilla sugar

Beat the Cremefine or cream until stiff. Add yoghurt, sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix well.

Line a sieve with a clean linen or cotton kitchen towel and place it in a larger bowl so that there is room around the sieve to catch the liquids that will get drained. Fill the cream/yoghurt mixture into the lined sieve and refrigerate for approx. 24 hours. After 12 hours or so, you may want to check on the setup and discard off any drained liquids that will have accumulated in the larger outer bowl.
After 24 hours, turn the bomb out onto a plate and serve with fresh or frozen fruit, fruit sauce ("Rote Grütze"), eggnog and/or special sweet spices.
This desert always is a big hit wherever I take it - be it a kindergarden party or grandma's birthday! Enjoy!

Swim Lessons

 Eyan and Silus are taking swim lessons at out local pool. They can both swim fairly well, but we thought it would be a good idea to have them go and impove the skills they have.  

We only have one car at the moment so the boys can just walk just 15 minutes, and then swim for an hour.  

I have walked with them and took the opportunity to snap a few shots.  I love that we can take a simple walk to the pool and are surrounded by beauty.
