Joe: What’s a buttermondsichelfettmacher? Why it is both Ali’s first newly coined German word and what we’ve been eating for breakfast every morning, of course. Much more descriptive than croissant, wouldn’t you say?
Don’t worry, we are also eating a lot of fruit. On the table this morning were blackberries, fresh currents, and a 20 Swiss Frank bunch of delicious cherries from the farmers market. I almost fainted when the fruit seller told us how much the cherries cost. Ali rolled her eyes at me and said “when in Zürich…”, which I translated roughly as “you cheapskate!”
