Food from Northern Germany

I love cooking and I enjoy reading Food Blogs the most. Before the WWW I was perfectly content reading cook books; I mean reading them just for reading pleasure and not to find or even cook one of the recipes. Food reflects a lot about different cultures and is something that can be shared without the knowledge of a foreign language.
Both of my parents were from North Germany and I lived in North Germany (Heikendorf) for the first 5 years of my life.
I grew up loving smoked eel, Schillerlocken ( smoked dogfish belly flaps. The golden colored belly flaps of the dogfish resemble the hair locks of the German poet, Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805), hence the name "Schillerlocken."), and Nordsee Krabben.
Krabben are tiny shrimp that have a slightly sweet taste. 'Krabben pulen' is what deshelling the tiny shrimp is called. It is tedious work with very little reward per piece. It takes about 10 minutes to deshell enough shrimp for one portion. You can see how small the shrimp are in comparison to the egg.
I found a great Northern German Food Blog.

Watch German TV on line

It's a pain in the butt to go through the many directory sites only to find out that you are not getting anywhere but ads when you click the links. I know of a couple sites - now,
don't be mad! Most of the shows that you can watch on TV are not quality information channel. It's shows like Lindenstrasse or 'Bauer sucht Frau' or 'Mitten drin im Leben'. I don't care. I watch those shows in the background while I am working! That's how little attention you have to pay to tbe show and still get the jest of it. Sometimes it will make you long for Germany and sometimes you will be damn glad that you don't live there anymore.
So here is one link to ZDF shows.
and here is one for RTL shows
For Lindentrasse you can just go to www.Lindenstrasse.de
If you know of any links - share them please! Leave them as a comment or e-mail me!
Thanks!

New Blog

This is not my first blog. I am a fan of blogging myself and reading other peoples blogs. Every so often I go on Blog directories and search for 'German in America' ; I have yet to find a blog under that category which fits what I am looking for. This will change now! My blog will be there!
I hope to communicate with other foreigners who live in the Sates or other countries; their experiences and joys etc. Please check back often and if you are a foreigner in the country were you reside please send me stories with your experiences and I will publish them in this blog!
I am excited!
