German Knodel



Last night was another nice dinner with the Heindel family. They have been an amazing part of my time here and I am very thankful for their kindness. Gerhard and Anke are Carolin’s parents and her little "big" brother is Janis. Soon I will get a picture posted on here so you can put a face to the names. With them, I get to learn about all sorts of good foods, first hand language advice and other German knowledge straight from the natives :) Last night’s dinner was a German course of Knodel and side salad with Anke's special homemade dressing! Yummy. I think I have talked about Knodel before. It is made with wheat flour, potato and then whatever flavorings you like. I think this one had just parley? Then you boil them in hot water like dumplings and this time we had sautéed mushrooms and gravy to put over top. Toppings are optional and variable. Very delicious. The picture doesn’t do it justice. Actually it doesn't really make it even look appetizing. I guess if I ever want to be a food critic I better hire a photographer. (Sorry Caro, my picture wasn't any better)
