Its not one I'll go easy to sleep with... meaningful gogo At least in Germany 'All quiet on the Western Front' is in cinemas since mid octobre. Our second watched it in a cinema with some friends. She talked about the movie and I said even I was at a naval air wing - first six weeks in general training we had to learn entrenching and using the foldable spade as a weapon in close combat. In the garnison museum were spades from WW1 soldiers made as sharp as razor blades for trench combat. The bayonetts on a rifle were usable in attack, but when fighting in a trench one at one shorter weapons were needed - and everyone had a spade. classics -> cinema Corona had a heavy impact on the classic entertainment: live concerts, cinema, theatres... 1 1 Link to comment

Popular Post chattius 2,526 Posted November 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2022 marble -> bridge Lahnmarmor from the Lahn river area is a special type of marble. In Villmar is a bridge made from Lahnmarmor since they had more marble than other stones. My son in law is a bridge engineer so we did some canoo trips along the Lahn river to visit the bridge, often starting the day trip at my hometown Wetzlar at the Lahn. If the Lahnmarmor is polished it is very colorful, as in the Empire State Building: 2 Link to comment

Popular Post chattius 2,526 Posted November 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2022 company -> Quarkbällchen When I do Quarkbällchen the kids were swarming around me, each trying to get the first ones. So I do double the amount to have some left for the next day. It are small balls from yeast dough containing Quark (in our case self made, sort of creamy curd cheese) fried in hot fat. Our old family recipe did it with meadowsweet instead then very expensive real vanilla. The fat for frying was homemade clarified butter. The closest baker is selling them for 3€ per 10 pieces in a paper bag. He is very close to a elementary school 1 1 Link to comment
