If you are familiar with our blog, you know my German wife and I like to make pizzas on Sunday nights. But we don’t actually make pizzas, we ‘pimp‘ them: We buy cheap-as-balls frozen pizzas, then add all kinds of crazy shit to make them taste fantastic.
Now, The Wife and I have different methods for pimping our pizzas. I like to go berserk and add like a pound of shredded cheese and enough salami to choke a rhino. My wife likes to add extra tomato sauce and toss a few delicate handfuls of spinach on top. She also has differing opinions of cooking methods. Namely, she prefers to leave the pizza in the oven for a mere 15 minutes, and she likes to place it on the center rack, specifically.
She is so confident in her pimping methods, she likes to remind me of their merits each and every time we stick a pizza in the oven. This is why she concluded her latest affirmation with the line:
THE WIFE: “…and remember, last time, it turned out absolutely phenomenom.”

I love all Posts I have read here until now, they are soooo true!! I am a south american living in Germany since 1996…. the first post I read: Nobody cares that you are american… I would say nobody cares where foreigners come from, sometimes I felt like, they think there is not something better and interesting than being German… until I started working in Switzerland, in Switzerland even Germans will feel bad… I would say I love american friendliness. South american are very friendly and very happy People, a German will understand this wrong… you are Kind of Schlampe if you smile and if you are friendly…. and every wife would be jealous… the best is to act as a downer,or as you are ready to attack if someone hurts you with a blöde Spruch, it is not easy for a south american to live hier.
Great done!
