To many Americans, Germany is the land of delicious beer, excellent chocolate and divine cuisines. Sometimes we think of the Germans wearing their traditional Lederhosen, Dirndls and Tyrolean Hats. All these things make up a unique part of the German culture. This week we have decided to celebrate the German way of life by making Edelweiss Hats and enjoying a fine German delicacy.
Today we kicked off the week by designing our German Edelweiss Hats. We had a blast making all the hats with our favorite colors and even furnishing them with feathers like the traditional Tyrolean Hats some Germans wear. It was fun for us to remember the old German sayings we had learned so long ago and to talk about Germany’s unique culture as well. We will wear our creative hats on Thursday when the German fun continues!
On Thursday we will enjoy a German specialty called Zwiebelfleisch which literally translates to onion meat. The traditional dumpling noodles called Spaezle will be served to accommodate this delicacy as well as Scharzwaelder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cherry Cake) for dessert. These foods are deep-rooted in the Black Forest region in southern Germany and will surely make an amazing meal for us here at Serenity!
Take a look at these pictures to see all the fun we had! Pictured above is Muriel who is modeling one of her hats and to the right is Arlene working diligently to finish one of her many hats (she made almost ten of them)!
