The Maschke family feted our arrival at a local restaurant. The promoted item was this giant piece of pork called an "ice-skate" in German because the bone inside was strapped to the bottom of shoes in old times to skate the frozen Lakes and rivers. It was quite delicious (Most things are with German beer and wine.) and less substantial than it looks. The dinner led to a funny conversation: What American foods does Pascalis miss? Laura's zucchini bread, mozzarella cheese sticks, Kraft mac n cheese, American-style tacos and maple syrup along with American-style breakfast. Interestingly, Vince, confronted with the same question, also mentoned z-bread and mozzarella cheese sticks, although he prefers the deep- fried kind rather than cheese sticks.
