Hello All!!! Happy New Year
If you have just tuned in the "Alison's Taste Test of Europe and the UK" you will need to be reminded that my goal over the course of this year is to gain 15 to 30 pounds (maybe more if I can manage it) Its time to put the jeans away and to take out the track pants (Remember: elastic waist bands are your friend!!)
*** Note: 15 to 3o pounds would be equivalent to 1 to 3 STONEs. Stones are a UK measurement where 1 stone = 14 pounds****
***Note: For the English who read this, when I say "track pants" I mean "track troussers" ****
The christmas holidays have taken my "Taste Test" across the ocean, where I have been enthusiastically sampling the holiday treats and cultural staples in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, Munich and Zurich. (I am currently in Salzburg, looking forward to Munich and Zurich)
Does it ever occur to me to taste the local salads or vegtable dishes?? NOOOOOOOO!!!
It is all about the deep fried goodness of Schnitzel and how many different kinds of Bratwurst (sausage) I can try in a 2 week period. And when a person has had enough of these treats there are all the local desserts to try. Hhhmmmmmm.... STRUDEL....
(there were other desserts but I can't spell them)
It hasn't all been about the food, there is of course BEER!!! Not only beer, but local liquers (Mom, Dad I am sending some home to you), wines, and punches.
For those of you on my facebook, look forward to lots of new and exciting additions to the "FOODS I HAVE EATEN" picture album. As for the rest of you, I'll put together a slide show for when I return.
CHEERS
***Actual details of the trip will be coming in a soon to follow post***

Alison, I'd like to see you gain that weight! I'm sure it will be gone in no time flat when you get home!
Can't wait to hear about more details on your trip. We've been wondering about you the last few days!!
Alison you're so skinny you can eat all sorts of things and never have to worry about gaining a single stone. Enjoying your blogs. Dad and Mom
