An afternoon lunch with my girl and mom.

It's mid afternoon and Buena Vista Social Club is pumping thru the speakers.My beautiful girlfriend Silvia is in the mood for making lunch.So while i'm blogging away in the living room,she's chopping,coming in out saying,"mhhhhm" for the next hour or so,wondering what is she making in there.So finally she asks,"are you ready to eat honey?".The first dish comes out and its a baked dish she calls"auflauf" which means comfort food.Consisting of potatoes,mushrooms,herbs,creme fraiche,green beans,cream,and feta cheese.Know doubt about it,real comfort food,the tangyness of the feta and creme fraiche and the cream and potatoes is enough said.A bowl of that and i wanted to sleep.But no there was more.Out she brings stuffed bell peppers with wild rice or what they call "natural rice" mushrooms,groundbeef,topped with gouda pronounced "gowda".Red,green,and yellow peppers were stuffed with the wild rice filling baked till the pepper is practically falling apart then topped with gouda and baked till brown.I chose the yellow pepper because of the sweetness it gives off.That was good and of course filling.Is there room for dessert you might ask?Somehow yes.After letting the stomach digest the meal dessert was served.Sliced caramelized apple with two scoops of vanilla bean ice,not ice cream they call it "eis",strawberry compote,Mirabella (a small yellow plum)compote, two miniature sized "griesbrei" pancakes made of ground wheat, eggs, milk make, sugar make for a very light cake,drizzled with chocolate sauce and dried peppermint.All i can say was dam!The warm apple with the two compotes and the "griesbrei" made for a comfort in the mouth.And i actually like how the dried peppermint really worked.Of course the vanilla ice is always good.I feel like sleeping!Kisses Baby! Bon Appetite! Oh there's a saying in german on the plate in red it says"a friendship has no bounderies!
