baking americans

no lies that is what i did last night. i baked Amerikaners (americans in english). However, as you probablly suspected i did not bake actual people. Amerikaners are a pastry they have over here that is quite good. it gets its name from the frosting, which is supposed to be half white, half black. kinda funny. but i enjoy them quite a bit and since theyare never cheaper than .80€ i decided to make my own. and lucky for me they are pretty dang easy to make. just butter, flour, eggs, sugar, baking powder. unfourtunatley i did not mix the batter quite well enough at the start so the first batch was a bit flat, but i realized what happened and the second few turned out quite well. they are supposed to be round, but mine kinda grew into each other in the oven. oops! ill figure out how to get them right next time. and the frosting i used, powdered sugar water and lemon. was a bit strong on the lemon. also easily fixable. over all they are pretty good.

one of the better looking ones. i ate the others last night.

this morning i got to sleep in a bit. till 8 30. got up ate an amerikaner and went to grammer class. we just did a bit of review, but i needed it! luckily after i figured out what we were doing it was easy.
at the end of class i found out that next monday is a national holidy. which meansss?? no class! so my three day weekend is now four. i think ive figured out why german education is free (or costs very little). and that is because they are never in class!
i was then going to go to another class, but i did not write down the room number. so ill go next week. but i dont really need to cause ive got my 4 classes.
after than i went for an easy 90 min bike. found two delightful 4 km hills not to far away that i will most likely being spending some time on.
after the bike i called Die Bahn (the train) service to find out where my missing Bahncard is. and found out they had a bad address. so now ill get that finally (hopefully). anddd thats my day.
its the weekend!
