Christmas dinner with the landlady!

Friday, 14th December '12
Ingrid was lovely enough to invite my WG over for Christmas dinner. Ingrid is my landlady and she lives in the same building as we do. She's been so nice to us ever since we moved here and I'm genuinely going to be sad to say good-bye to her and her family.

(traditional German ornament, the hot air from the candles makes the fan spin!)

Angela and I were super nervous since we were a bit worried about the conversation and maybe it being too long-a-time spent together with strangers... but it ended up being way less awkward than we thought. Celia, being her optimistic self, was all "Oh wow, I'm so excited! I can't wait!" ~__~

Anyway, we finally met Ingrid's daughter (and her boyfriend was there too). Her daughter was so nice (and so pretty!). Anyway Melina studies in the UK, so naturally her English was spot-on and strangely enough, her boyfriend could speak conversational Spanish, so we were really set. It was quite strange actually, all the languages that flew around the table.

The food was really yummy, I really liked the starter... possibly because it was prawns. The main meal was really traditionally German, a meat kind of casserole I guess, with cabbage and a bread dumpling. It looks horrid in the picture (literally looks like s...), but it was super delicious. The dessert was ice-cream and toasted almonds, plus the brownies that myself and the girls had baked for the dinner. Yum yum! 

(main course... haha now you know what I mean right?!)
