Happy Birthday America!



Wishing all a Happy 4th of July, perfect burgers and cherry pie! What I wouldn't give for some hot dogs on the grill, baked beans, silver queen corn and a few slices of watermelon!

All of those things are available in Basel. However, they all taste better in America!

No one really knows or understands what it means to be an American. Just like we will never know what it means to be a German.

Something about silver queen corn soaked in sugar water and cooked on the grilled in its husk that out does spargle on a good day. The smell of a all beef frank cooking under the Kingsford. A large hamberger cooked well well done down to half the size of when it started.

Those things are avaiable in Basel but they are not American. Just like sitting at a Bosox game and watching the practice 2 hours before it starts... You will never find that anywhere but here in the US....

Ok, Anon - why'd you have to bring the red sox into this?! ;-) This is year number 2 I will not make it to a game...
