Old Europe and Buckeye Donuts

Tribe update
We booked a ticket for Julia to come home the first weekend in October--can't wait!

Julia went to Steak 'n Shake and Buckeye Donuts, among other places. On Saturday, she went to a cross-country meet with Matt and Clint. And, she attended her first Engineers without Borders meeting and was very excited to share about some of their upcoming projects. Classes are going well and keeping her busy, busy. Yay!

Steven and I went to Old Europe--a gem in our neighborhood. The inside is like stepping into Germany and slightly back in time. The food was delicious and the portions extremely generous. Steven enjoyed the bread basket and I loved the pork spread (lard) that came with it. It had some herbs (?) and bits of pork--so good. You have to get the Bavarian pretzel (according to Steven); it is unlike any other pretzel he's had and he loved it. Also enjoyed the Caesar salad, sauerkraut, cucumber salad, mixed vegetables, Lachsschnitte (broiled salmon), minced pork meatloaf with fried egg (Sunday special), German potato salad. Even though we were stuffed and had half of our meals boxed up, Steven tried the bread pudding for dessert. It had a generous portion of whipped cream on top and came with a pitcher of Bavarian cream (? or something extra delicious) and he devoured it all, except the fresh fruit. :) We went to dinner early (5pm), but it was packed by the time we left, always a good sign. We would highly recommend this restaurant and plan to go back with Julia. Hey, Jules--you should have stopped in Old Europe for a summer gig playing the piano!
