FOOD!

I know everybody is curious about food, because... well, food is food.

there are certain things that make food better here.

like this farmer's market at the end of our street. from 6-12 every single morning, except Sundays.

row upon row of just farmers and their families selling ... actual fresh food. That's Felix and Theodore and Brian. Henry didn't make it into the panorama because he was moving around so much, as usual :)

 We can walk there with tante C.

Even in the rain. I had to wait a while to get a moment when this wasn't packed with people.

We can also forage food. Right now on the Schlossberg we can find figs and pomegranates and chestnuts. Although pictured here are horse-chestnuts which we picked up by accident.

But lets pretend we're still hungry..... Why.... Look here, on our street is the Sammelbox - translation a collection box, aka FREEGAN FOOD. it's kind of a swap box for old expired or extra things. We get pretty much all our bread here, since it's free ... and there's so much of it that we can even be picky. We are officially Elite Freegan Snobs.

Still need food? That's ok. In the middle of the night you can go to the grocery store. Umm. not really Everything is closed by 9 no matter what. And nothing at all is open on Sunday, except at the main Train Station. But behind the grocery store nearest us, a stone's throw away, there are beehives. Yes. Your gigantic chain grocery store has beehives.

If you are still peckish, don't worry, there are still jars of marmalade my dear grandmother made in 2002. See here.

And finally a gratuitous picture of us on the Schlossberg, the number one tourist attraction in the city, in front of the Uhrturm only a few minutes walk from the kindergarten door. Behind us in front of the clockface, that green tree is the one laden with figs.
