Cheese Platter

A 90th Birthday is a date to celebrate.

My coworkers Mom turned 90 yesterday and my coworker was over her head because 25 to 30 people wanted to come. I offered to help her and take off some of her workload. 

A large cheeseboard was a good idea to place on one of the tables so people can pick their own. We worked together a lot, setting plates, offering drinks and later coffee. With so many people a lot of dirty dishes were stacked everywhere. Loading and unloading the dishwasher and kepping track of miscillainous things was one of my purposes.

The cheeseboard was covered in Arugula to make the surface more appealling. I had a variety of French cheeses and sliced hard cheeses from different German regions. Combined with cherry tomatoes and quail eggs the platter looked fine.

It was a busy day, but all went well.

Finally, on the way to a one week vacation. 

I am in the South East of Germany,  about 55 km south of Nuernberg. The area is called Fraenkisches Seenland. This region is one of the driest spots in Bavaria. Lots of lakes were created to help with the water management. This region was developped in to a tourist spot.

Now I am here to enjoy the lakes and the local cuisine.

My first stopp was about 1 hour before my final destination and I stayed in Ansbach.

I went to a just two weeks open café Krokant. They offered a variety of breakfast specials.

I choose the cheese platter. Very delicious and a lot of local cheeses.

When I reached my final destination I stopped for some coffee and ice cream.
