EuroTrip 2009
We just got home from our annual trip to the Fatherland (Germany) to visit Stephan’s family. Its a really good thing to have in-laws who live in Europe… I’m a lucky gal! We always do a little side trip somewhere during our visits… Last year was Rome and this year was a East European road trip. We started our road trip in Frankfurt and drove to Prague, Vienna and Munich. As usual, our traveling consists of two things… eating traditional food and photo taking. Or as the Germans say… <insert German accent here> Photoshooting. Check out some AMAZING non-food images that Stephan took from our trip.
This is us in Prague, close to the Castle and the Famous Charles Bridge

Looks can be deceiving
Hello from Deutschland!!! We’re currently in Frankfurt, Germany visiting Stephan’s family. The temperatures have been up in the high 90’s for weeks in South Florida, so this is perfect timing to leave for a few weeks! I haven’t been cooking since I got here as my mother in law is a fantastic cook, but this is a little something I made before I left for vacation. We’ll be off to Prague, Vienna and Munich next week and I plan on blogging the good eats we find along the way!
So… on to the tasty treat. Although this looks like a sweet treat, it is not. This cookie has one of my favorite savory ingredients… caramelized onion. There’s something magical that happens when you cook boring old onions in a little bit of butter. It turns into a sweet and caramel colored delicacy. You do have to be patient… very patient when caramelizing onion, though. Expect to spend the better part of an hour if you want perfectly caramelized onions. If you try to rush it, you’ll end up with a bitter tasting end result. Believe me… been there, done that!
