You can buy the Bisquick at the Rewe in Parsberg anyone who lives near there. It is in a smaller box than in the states but at least it is something. They have a small american section in the store. I mostly just buy the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups from there. I am unfortunately in love with this candy haha.

OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I have been soooooo homesick for food! It has been very difficult for me to cook here (and find ingredients), but with the wealth of information I have gotten today from expats like you, I now know I can do this!!!

I’m not alone! lol

@cn heidelberg: I think I’m finally over my junk food cravings. I had some Cheetos at the last German-American festival and was pretty disgusted. But, Todd Wilbur does also have a serious on recreating American junk food if you get a serious craving.

@rita: Let me know how that goes!

@autumn: Looking forward to brunch with you guys!

@stephanie: Yeah, I’m bettin’ Hooters popularity ain’t much about the food.

@sonya: That’s great! I started making my own vanilla extract too and I won’t touch the store-bought stuff anymore.

@NewWorldYankee: It’s a lot more work than Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, but these were seriously good.

Maybe the Hooter pasta salad only tastes good when eaten around women with creatively cut shirts…… just saying…!! The food isn’t what made the chain famous…

Look forward to the potluck. I am also trying to start a Books & Bagel meetup in January in Regensburg. Would you be interested in swapping English books? I have tons and am looking for new reading material.
Also, can you let me know more about your work background? I have done 10 years of medical device clinical research in Europe and do to the fact that I have had lots of problems finding good after school childcare for my children here, I have quit my job in December and am thinking about starting my own consulting business and if I remember correctly you are a biostats person? Anyway – is there any chance of us meeting up in January?
