Feeling at Home

Today was one of those benchmark days. I willingly ate red cabbage (and liked it) and I found a typo auf Deutsch.  

At the same time, I am still making language mistakes. Even in English, it seems. Yesterday, I was talking to some of my friends, and they were telling me (auf Deutsch) about the unsanitary conditions of the pizza place where they work. (Don't eat at Hallo Pizza, fyi.) I responded (auf Englisch) that just rinsing off the pan doesn't kill the germs. They responded that nothing kills the Germans, except the Americans, oh and the French, the British, oh yeah, and especially the Russians. Hmmm, a bit of a miscommunication there. It still worked, so I didn't correct them.
