Day 4 On the Rhine River Cruise

Today we had to get up a little earlier than before, oh goodie it is going to be a full day. Well, today the sun is shining and it is really nice out for a November day just a light jacket! YEA! So, happy the rain is gone…now stay away the rest of the trip. Today we had a huge breakfast then loaded up and headed out to Heidelberg. We visited the Castle and learned all about it and the wine. Then we went into the town for a tour and free time. Such a great place only thing is not enough time. Cute little place with many Christmas shops with lovely German gifts and ornaments. I had a wonderful time.


We returned to the boat for real German food…many different things. We had several cooking demonstrations too. We learned how to make a Alsatian flammkuchen and Rudesheimer coffee. A fun filled day so far. We have been given many wonderful German treats to eat all day too.


The Chef shared a recipe for one of the classic area items. I am sharing this with you.

Alsatian Flammkuchen
9 oz flour
1/2 oz yeast
4 1/3 oz milk
4 1/2 oz ham
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 large onion
5 1/3 oz sour cream
1 tablespoon flour
5 1/3 oz low fat cottage cheese
chives, finely chopped
1 leek, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons oil
salt and pepper

To Prepare ~ Combine flour, yeast, milk and salt to make the dough and leave for 30 minutes to proof.

Preheat oven to 475F. Mean while cut your onions, spring onions, leek and chives. Add one tablespoon of flour, cottage cheese, oil, salt and pepper.

Roll out dough on a floured surface until the dough is very thin place on a parchment paper covered baking tray.Spread a layer of sour cream on dough. Put the mixture on the dough. Sprinkle the bacon and leeks on top. Bake for 15 minutes and serve warm. Enjoy


After the demonstrations, we loaded in this cute little train and headed to town for a wonderful evening of fun, food and entertainment. This was such a wonderful evening…lots of laughing. We all got to perform in some way or another tonight. The food was really good. We started with a german salad, soup, entree of pork mash potatoes, creamed cabbage, sauerkraut. Then an apple cake with coffee.

We returned to the boat and had a glassblower demonstrate many different types of glassblowing. Then we had live music and dancing. Whewwww what a day, what a day, was a lot of fun!
