Easter Weekend (Days 22-25)

So, I have a few highlights from over the weekend, things were pretty quiet here owing to the dark cloud that descended Thursday and pretty much stayed with us until Easter morning (coincidence? I think not :-).

1. Joern and I went to our neighborhood Aldi on Thursday to pick up a few things and it was like Black Friday and the day before a blizzard rolled into one.  What seemed like thousands of people were pushing, grabbing things from under your nose, and generally panicking because all of the stores would be closed ALL WEEKEND and you might run out of something (though with milk in tetra packs, I highly doubt this).  Needless to say, we pretty much filled our fridge to capacity and stocked up on some candles too.
2. On our just-in-case-we-can-never-buy-stuff-again shopping trip, I was walking through the salad dressing aisle and was delighted to find a new flavor called "American Dressing."  It looked suspiciously like French Dressing.
3. Joern fired up the gas grill for some amazing brats, and it was a great success, in both the flavor and diverting fireball departments.
4. Joern's sisters came to test out our guest suite and help us eat all of the food we bought.
