Germany Day 5

Today is Saturday. The plan for the day is to go to the platz for the street meeting, and I will go with Mrs. Duke to get the things we will need for the meal tomorrow after church.
The stores in Germany are very different. Again we had to put money in the shopping cart in order to use it. They have bakeries and large meat and cheese departments. I also saw some weight watcher meals (like the ones I take to school for lunch). Thie time the store offered us some brown paper bags, since we had lots of groceries, but we had to load everything-the cashier will just sit there and watch you. Then you take it out to your car, and retune the cart, and you will get your coin back.
We went back to the church and Mrs. Duke made this delicious soup from frozen vegetables (Its a really simple recipe)! another family from the Netherlands also came to visit. This woman was at least 6 foot tall and had the hugest hands (she used to be a biker that also worked as as butcher) but she was so sweet. Sarah and Martha stayed at the church because it was getting late, and Beth and I went back to the Duke's house and chopped onions, celery, pickles, eggs, potatoes, and apples. We also prepared meatloaf, and I have a new recipe for German meatloaf-with lots of mustard. Lets just say that it was after midnight before we were finished, and we had church the next morning.
