A few months ago I would have suggesten Stollen (a good one).

Just in case anyone is interested - as part of the Schleswig-Holstein Musikfestival on the 18th July Roxette are giving a concert in Kiel.

I had to drive my wife to a Dr appointment this morning (she had to wait just under 2 hours

Does "Pinching salt to the fire" ("Salz ins Feuer streuen") count when it comes to that list? I must admit that in my 43 years here I have not come across that one ... Here is another pearl of wisdom from my pals: It is not without goose ... (Es ist nicht gans ohne ...) I'll get...
