Happy New Year!
Well, 2010 is here, and it’s time to try our hand at some more German foods! In proper Southern Germany and Austrian fashion, I cooked Schweinebraten, Kartoffelbrei, and Erbsen for New Year’s dinner. For those of you playing catch-up, that’s pork roast, mashed potatoes and peas. 
The pig is considered good luck for the new year because they burrow forward in the dirt – advancing and never looking back. The peas are symbolic of money. I’m not sure how well it works, but we will see!
We are already planning our Summer Germany trip, which will take place the end of July, into August. This year we are staying at a lake cabin with my in-laws for a few days. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
As always, if you have any recipes to recommend, please send them to us. You will be credited in the post, so let’s get cooking!
Happy New Year! Ich wünsche Ihnen ein gutes neues Jahr!
