After the Friedrichsbad (more on that tomorrow), we took a nap. Waking from the nap, we had the hunger. MMMMM, the hunger. What to do? We went to the store and bought some ravioli and "tomaten/mascarpone" sauce. And our landlady, having heard we were on our honeymoon, put a bottle of champagne at the door. Sounds like a good start to a great meal!
We wanted to have a salad, so we walked into town, picked a patio restaurant, and had two Karlsberg Urpils beers and a large garden salad. It was quite nice, and a guy across the street serenaded us with covers of "Tears in Heaven", "Sounds of Silence", and a few other nice tunes. I wish I'd had change to tip him, but the smallest I had was a 5 Euro bill, which is the cover to see a band at the Earl. Nice, not that nice.
When we walked back to our apartment, we found that we had the wrong key, and were locked out of the building. So we went to the restaurant across the street to use the phone; called our landlady, and arranged to be let in. They said it would be a few minutes until we could be let in, so we ordered a couple more beers and waited. Elise saw this awesome raspberry dessert (another happy accident) and we asked if we could take two plates back to our apartment. The owner agreed (said "it's good! it's from France!") and so we got two plates of raspberry pie.
When we finished our beers, we walked down the street with our dessert, and got buzzed into our building. We then cooked our ravioli, drank the champagne, and had our dessert.
Seriously, the most convoluted three-course meal I've ever enjoyed, but it was really good.
Can't wait to post about the Friedrichsbad. Elise is making me wait. It's worth it though, tune in tomorrow.
