It was a pretty good week, despite Remy being sick for a few days. On Monday, I went to one of the nearby libraries for a meeting of a German conversation club. The moderator of the club emails news articles to everyone, then you're supposed to read those and come to the meeting prepared to discuss them- auf Deutsch, natürlich. I always try to keep

Ooh! What's your recipe for pizza dough? We've been making our own pizza too - usually four-cheese, no sauce, using a store-bought crust, but I bet a homemade crust is even better! =)

Oh and congrats on your writing progress!

Thanks! If you ever feel like practicing your writing, I'd be happy to exchange little emails with you in German. For listening practice, Deutsche Welle offers daily news segments that are spoken slowly, along with transcripts: http://rss.dw-world.de/xml/DKpodcast_lgn_de I usually have to look up a ton of words in order to keep up, but if you actually do it for one day, you're better prepared for the next day, as they often report updates on prior news items.

Making the pizza dough isn't hard at all- and that's coming from someone who normally hates making dough, LOL The harder part for me is rolling it out properly, but I'm getting better at it. I just suck at rolling out dough, especially for things like pie crusts. Practice makes perfect, I guess, and I really don't need to be making tons of pies, so... ;)
