Schnitzel for Thanksgiving

I have yet to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in person, but this year I have a better excuse as I was in Germany.
This wasn't my Thanksgiving meal so I didn't feel obligated to finish... And there was no way I was going to. Although if you look in the upper right hand corner you can see my 11 year old cousin Matthew finished his with no problem. I had a schnitzel folded in half with ham and cheese inside... covered in a gravy... with a salad... and spatzle (homemade noodles). A Hefe weisen to wash it down.

Our home base was Heidelberg this castle sits on the hill guarding the city.

Can't pass up a horse ride.

As good as a Pumpkin pie. Apple strudel for desert on Thanksgiving.

  1. Wow! Looks like a ton of fun. From what I saw on tv the Thanksgiving parade was lame anyway. The food pics looked delicious! Can't wait to see you around Christmas!!
