I do like the bubbly--even the moderately priced brand that Trader Joe peddles in..."Schloss Biebrich"

On this epinions site it gets a four star rating--and we find out that Germans drink the most bubbly (Sekt as it is called) - plus there is an nice easy sounding cocktail recipe using it too!

I'm afraid I have not yet made it to the palace this Sekt is named after--and it's in Wiesbaden where my sister lives. Will have to check it out next time I'm there!

About every 8-10 weeks I schedule a haircut appointment in Ann Arbor--about 50 minutes east of Albion, off of Highway 94. Except for the traffic, we do love Ann Arbor -it's the perfect University town--interesting people, nice places to eat and/or hang out and of course a wider range of grocery stores, including our favorite--Trader Joe's. I was going to post this picture of a mural as the shot of the day, but since this blog about my "Alltag" --- my everyday life, I thought a shot of Trader Joe's kind of fit that theme better. We got lots of yummy goodies as usual.
