Grünkohl

Dennis

In winter it’s basically a winter custom here in Northern Germany to eat Grünkohl (kale or leaf cabbage). It might have something to do with the fact that kale is harvested after the first autumn frost, which means you get it during the cold seasons on the table. Grandma invited me yesterday because she prepared Grünkohl, Kassler (smoked pork chop) and Kohlwurst (cooked sausage). Together we just call it Grünkohlessen (eating kale).

I always like to take pictures of horses and if you do like them too, you might want to check out my growing horse photo collection. Continue reading Two Friends

But that just seems to be the history of it, but today you will probably … Continue reading Mutzen

This photo is in my opinion a great example that it’s actually not bad to take photos with a phone. Not only is the quality satisfactory, but another advantage of smartphones is that they have a … Continue reading Lübeck Train Station
