We have had a couple of baking sessions with Oma since we've been here. She can make the most amazing cakes, pies (Torte) and bread. Germans eat a lot of "Schwarzbrot"... or literally... "Blackbread." Last week, Thomas' mom showed up at our house with her antique mixer, and "Roggenmehl" or rye flour that she had ground herself that morning. The rye came from my brother-in-law's field. We added some oats, walnuts and a special German bread mix and made 4 large loaves. I never thought either of my girls would ever touch this bread, but they have come to like it. We also made waffles, which we ate with whipped cream and blueberries... yummy! Maybe Sarah is inheriting her Oma's baking talent... she recently made some cinnamon rolls all by herself. She used yeast and all... they were scrumptious!
