Well I wasnt so popular around here the other night. In a good way that is. Whilst at the supermarket the other day I found thai curry paste and cocconut milk and potatoes. well this all equalled a potoato curry to me. Yum. I got started early as Anna and Jorg had dancing lessons so dinner was early rather than the usual 10pm. Anyway it smelt great and was easy to make. I actually am quite the chef at times and Jorg is quite impressed by it. rekons im a good catch. I had also got up and cooked us all banana panckes that morning plus a pesto paster for lunch. Yep im spoiling them big time! So anyway back to my curry story (gee I can write cant I). So I put it on a cus cus base with a side salad all beautifully presented. We sat down and I took a mouth full and loved it. It was just right with a mild heat to it. well turns out germans dont eat any hot food so what I thought was mild had them stripping off all their clothes and sweating all over. I was in hysterics as they drank water and covered it with sour cream untill they were out. Jorg nearly finished his but anna made it only half way. I gave her my salad cos I didn't want her going hungry. Jorg said he could feel it in his stomach and his heart. I was still laughing but feeling a bit bad. It didn't really effect me and I enjoyed it. they are were then worried that they wouldnt be able to ride the next cos their asses would be on fire. didnt hear any screaming from the toilet so it could not have been that bad They want to invite up Jorgs family after the event for a dinner cooked by me. Im talking up pumpkin rissotto. Must remember no heat though. im sure that the story is being told at the dancing right now and then through Jorgs sister it will be to his parnets and then to the whole family. I know Ill hear alot more of this. oh well, all the left overs are for me now. Yeah. You know 3 weeks off the bike was good. I feel strong and am keen to do some hard riding. Wish we wernt so busy so we could. after the event they are going to go full boar in triaing and we are going for a week to Austria to Jorgs holiday house as well. That will be so nice and the riding will be great. Look out Aus, rohin is coming home a mountain goat!! Its been raining here for 4 days now which sucks big time. we get wet riding,then wet working and then get up and do it all again. Its going to fine up from monday so the event will be good but on sat and sunday we are to ride both the 77km and 100km marathon courses so im not looking forward to doing them in the rain. Oh well such is life as a pro rider. Of course im just a tag along but for the moment with all the new team clothes, helmet, sunglasses, bags, gloves and much more I like to think im a pro. Tonight we went to one of the event helpers birthday party at his house. It was a great house made by him and reminded me of my parents home alot. organic shapes, lots of art on the walls, plants everwhere and lots of homey touches. They had a wood fired oven in the middle of the house with a couch carved into its side. I presume its called the hot seat! Anyway dinner was Crape pizza style things. basically a pizza base with a sour cream spread on it and then toppings. very nice. all was going well, a few German beers and then all of a sudden it was Snaps time, a great german tradition. well they rekon its rude to leave the house without trying each kind of snaps on offer so about now its kicking in and im feeling fairly done. Got to love the hospitality. Im learning german as quick as I can. I can count now and can say things like shiz wetter and Shiz mudge, they are s*** weather and s*** mud. Which is pretty much all that needs to be said at these times. Well its nearly twelve so im off to bed. Cheers to you all or Sebus as they say here on your 3rd Snaps shot in nearly as many minutes.
