The Haufbrauhaus in Pittsburgh has really matured. When I made the trip over there on Friday there was a line out the door. That place has a huge capacity to end up with a line. We ended up not going in, but came back the next day to celebrate Germany’s 4-0 victory. Here’s a picture of my wursts hanging out over a bed of kraut.
Now on to the purpose of Sauerkraut Sundays… As I go through the week, I use Twitter to send out little updates and links. I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you use Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review. I’ve selected the most useful of my tweets from the last week and placed them in to the categories that I use in this blog.
