This is rare picture of the whole Konrad/Boice family together. It was taken at a restaurant in downtown Philadelphia where we met to celebrate Lydia's 85th birthday! The food was fabulous! A good time was had by all.

This was taken on a Tuesday--the reason I'm saying this is that we're about to come to another project 365 hitch--I missed a day! But since a while ago there were two pictures from the same day, I'm just going to leave the order as is....the next picture was the Thursday after this Tuesday...ugh keeping the days straight was too hard for me!

Last day in Germany! We were at Tante's Eva's garden cottage, with coffee and cake. I have a giant pole in fornt of my face, something the picture taker, my sister could have told me about! :-)

The other people in the picture are my cousin Matthias and his wife Iris and Louisa s.o. Ralf. (and of course Tante Eva).

This picture of my sister Louisa was taken on a wine-tour through some little towns along the Rhine river.  The weather was great as was the wine and food. At the end I started feeling a bit sick (I was) but it was still a very enjoyable day. (We went with some of her friends).

My sister and I traveled to Frankfurt to have dinner with the other German professor at Albion, who spends most of the summer with his family and in-laws in a suburb to the north of Frankfurt. We also met an Albion student who had just graduated and who was working in Frankfurt at the time. Now she works near Düsseldorf.  It was a fun evening with good (Italian) food. This was a yummy hors d'oeuvre with tuna, eggs and capers.

Oh I remember this lunch- it was really yummy! The type of good lunch you get in cafes all over Wiesbaden--it's mushrooms, small bits of turkey in some kind of yummy sauce with potatoes and a side salad.

Summer Sunday dinner: Project 365:#252

I find it quite hard to take nice-looking food photos. This meal, from last July was actually quite yummy, but my picture of it isn't. Part of it is that chard just tends to look like a green blob as does the chutney (well a reddish one in that case). 

Even though I am still hopelessly behind with this project - almost a year! I actually kind of like reminiscing about the time of each shot--it adds another dimension to the whole thing. And I'm beginning to think that I WILL do it again, once I've posted all of last years shots--which will of course still take a while!
