two weekends of friends

  
[full set here]
Two weeks ago: Lucy! Signs at the airport. Breakfast at Cafe Karin. Potters' balcony x 2. Dinner at Lobster. Park lounging. Mainufer lounging. Frankfurter Oktoberfest. The Tree House, Round One.

This past weekend: Suz! Gaststätte Mosebach: delicious Grüne Soße and the best Bratkartoffeln I've ever had. The Tree House, Round Two. This shakshuka. This pumpkin bread pudding (topped with Greek yogurt = yowza, though it could do with about half the butter, and be sure to soak the bread in the custard before baking). Family-style Vietnamese at Toan, plus homemade chocolate cake and berry-topped cheesecake (and emergency cupcakes). Apfelwein at O-Ton.

I think we're firmly entrenched in fall now, but after the glory that was the long weekend when Lucy was here, I'm all right with that. It's allowed to be fall in October.
