Happy tummy today. Ventured out to a little German restaurant a couple blocks away. Had Schnitzel mit Kartoffelsalat. Yum! Haven't had German potato salad that good in many, many years. The waitress asked me if I wanted it with vinegar dressing or mayonnaise. What? Mayonnaise dressing is NOT for German potato salad! Interesting mixed green salad, too -- with corn, green beans, shredded carrots, a tomato wedge, and -- ack! -- cucumbers. I despise cucumbers. If it were the U.S., I'd have send the salad back for decontamination, but I just picked on the cukes and ate the rest. Next mission: Find an amazing soft pretzel. Maybe tomorrow on the way to the Brandenburg Gate... .
