Baden-Württemberg Germany: Ravensburg

On another road trip to visit AutoForm Global Offices, StringGirl had the pleasure to pay a call on the Ravensburg Office.
Ravensburg is a picturesque town in the area just north of the Bodensee-Lake Constanze area. It is a surprisingly industrial town in what is otherwise the heart of German Lake-house country. Most associate this area of Germany with moneyed retirees, Expats from Switzerland looking for cash havens..

The town center is sprinkled with generous helpings of German Style and charm.

When thinking about where to eat in the Southern Part of Germany, I rarely think to consider the foods that I most often gravitate to when in "cosmopolitan" or international cities. So, here in Ravesburg I was prepared to have nothing more special than some Spatzel and meat in gravy. However, when the office hosts suggested Indian I was surprised and  intrigued. The India House in Ravensburg, proved very welcome change from the possibility of another Schwabische meal.

At our table we had a variety of foods ordered. Two colleagues ordered the Daily "Menu" specials lunch portions of either Veggie, Fisch, or Lamm. While I and another ordered straight off the printed menu (Mutter Paneer and Chicken Vindaloo).
The Chicken Vindaloo was hot (not too hot, I could have done with about a 30% increase) but tasty no less. The Gravy was a bit more tomato based than I normally would associate with a Vindaloo. This seemed almost a Tikka Masala with potatoes. The sauce was nicely accented with the Chili, Ginger, and Coriander that I expected though and over all I cannot complain.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February. Done, gone home, Scroll to see more ) Here's the lowdown since curiosity abounds: 1) NO, I didn't have a skiing accident. I resent the implication. I owned that fucking Hill . (Family Friendly video) 2) It was a sled 🛷 . It's not an extreme sport. It's called a Rodelbahn (toboggan road) and is considered fun for the whole family. Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
