I only had one day to get into the Easter spirit after returning from Istanbul, but I managed to bake a batch of easter cookies (a perfect excuse to use up all of the Christmas sprinkles) and spend Easter Sunday with the family. My aunt baked a beautiful Osterlamm and Osterzopf while my grandparents hid easter eggs in the yard. What did you do for Easter?
Christmas eve and Christmas day... Bavarian style. Goose, Knödel, Blaukraut, Weihnachtslieder and best of all: family time. Walking through Munich the day after Christmas, lights taken down, Christmas stands gone, everything seems strangely empty.
I spent Sunday at Onkel Johann's birthday party. It was held at the Kleine Schmausefalle, a cozy Bavarian restaurant in Munich. Since we planned to head to Oktoberfest afterwards, we all dressed in Trachten attire and had an amazing German meal, Spanferkelbraten and Kartoffelknödel.
