As the weather started getting warmer, Emily started craving a grill – not just grilled food, but everything that a grill entails: sitting outside, flipping the meat and vegetables, playing with fire, etc. Plus, everything just tastes better cooked on a grill. So she bought one off of someone who is moving out of Germany soon, and now we get to grill out!
Funny anecdote: While we were cooking the food, we saw our landlady (aka the mayor’s wife) outside vacuuming the bushes. I had never seen anyone vacuum bushes before, so I asked what was going on. She said she was trying to rid the bush of the hungry caterpillars who were eating everything! She planned on spraying it with some kind of preventative pesticide after getting the grown caterpillars off the leaves.
