米亞 in 歐嗨歐

我喜歡的德國菜裡還有"Hawaii-Schnitzel mit Curry (焗烤咖哩鳳梨火腿豬排)"，是一道簡單好做又好吃的家庭料理。

I have been staying in Ohio for almost two years. Even though the weather is crazily cold in winter here, I had been blessed by my family, my friends, my German ,and his parents. I told German that I haven't eaten nice sea food in Columbus except the shirmp I cooked by myself. He decided to take me to a very nice sea food restaurant called "Columbus Fish Market". 

還記得寒假在德國的新天鵝堡山腳下吃到咖哩香腸和炸薯條，回美國後我念念不忘，一直吵著德國人做給我吃，我發現其實要做這道咖哩香腸套餐一點都不難!!

之前突然非常想吃台鐵火車便當的排骨，身處在美國當然是買不到...>_<，想吃只好自己做....其實發現做個台式滷排套餐也不難...

最近忙著做畢業porfolio，常常中午懶得煮飯，再加上看到Judy的MSN暱稱寫著"我也想吃一塊銅板的早餐"讓我懷念起台灣三十元的漢堡加蛋，決定來做個台式漢堡。

My apartment was out of power for two days. The weird thing was the lights can be turned on, but I couldn't get any electricity from the outlets. Thus, I couldn't use my computer and I coudn't use my oven. The automatic heater system did not work either. My apartment was like a freezer. Staying outside was warmer than staying at home even though the weather was still not that warm.

These two days, I was awaken by the cold air even though I wrapped myself with two layers of blankets. After I woke up, I couldn't stay in the apartment any longer and I just wanted to go out ASAP. Thank God, I could go to my boyfriend's office and used my computer there. Otherwise, I would be frozen and bored to death.

期待了很久，Hara 和她美國老公Justin上週五終於開車來到歐嗨歐，我們渡過了一個開心的週末!! 因為Columbus也真得沒有什麼好玩的...(It is true..)，本來想帶他們到北邊一點的Amish Country去看看，但因為現在是冬天又加上上禮拜下了滿厚的雪，可能Amish people也不想出來亂混，商店也不會開，所以就取消去那邊的打算，乾脆來個輕鬆隨性的行程。 

1/31(Sat): 逛逛polaris, 去Ha Long Bay吃河粉, 瀏覽Victorian Village, Columbus downtown、Short North、North Market 還有Battelle Riverfront Park, 火鍋party和打牌

這次在德國過聖誕，我發現許多和美國聖誕節不同的習俗，其中讓我覺得非常有意思的是Adventskalender(聖誕降臨日曆)，這個日曆特別的是只有二十四天，是用來讓小朋友倒數，迎接聖誕節的來臨，聖誕曆通常做成卡片或是像戳戳樂那樣的紙板，從12月1號開始，小朋友可以去打開代表一天的小窗格，窗格裡有紙條、巧克力或是小禮物，等所有的格子都被打開後，聖誕節也就到啦!!

這次去德國玩參觀了BMW的博物館，雖然我對汽車沒有很大的興趣，但是博物館裡面陳列的車子跟一些介紹都滿有趣的!! BMW全名為Bayerische Motoren Werke AG(巴伐利亞機械製造廠股份公司)，和Benz並稱高級汽車界中的雙B。
