September 29, 2012 -- S makes fun of me!
S and I went to the Farmer's Market today. There is a market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings in Oberursel. In addition to vegetable and fruit stands, there are all sorts of items sold in various trucks -- poultry, pork, sausages, cheese, bread, pastries to name some of them. I went to the market to purchase chicken breasts with the bone-in. So, I went up to the truck and asked "Can I have zwei Hühnchen." S laughed. She said do you realize how many times you start a sentence in English and finish it in German. The sad part is that I can say "I would like two chickens" in German -- Ich möchte zwie Hühnchen. However, old habits die hard.
