One thing ...

I have one thing to say to you ...









We had fondue.









And it was delicious. Now that we have the fondue pot, I want to do it every night. They sell ready-to-go cheese packages or "just the cheese" and you add kirsch and gewürz.

Things done of late: ordered a turkey for Turkey Day (5 kg), and ordered ciabatta bread from the bakery down the street. We're having our first American Turkey Day in CH tomorrow. I loved chatting it up with the butcher guy. Turkeys are a Christmas thing in CH. So we ordered it. Nice.

Some Randomness On Monday

Meat









Cheese









This one says "If you smoke, you will die sooner". No playing around. I think the Swiss tobacco lobby lost that one. Still doesn't stop anyone from smoking though.






So the Dr's office we go to for our ultrasounds has a ... bar?!? And a grand piano? I keep trying to imagine the simple reason for a piano bar in an O.B.'s office ... haven't figured it out yet.










The Christmas season is upon us. Huge displays of Playmobile and Legos. I love all of it. If the weather is OK, we'll be attending the "Bärner Samichlous chunnt" thing in a few weeks. I'm very excited.
