YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! again fulfilled a part of my life mission! I baked a super yummi Marzipanzopf! 



first I studied the recipe



I've got my own cooking hat! fits my blue color well!



cutting the butter



we need 80g



heat it up 



some sugar



preparing the dough







now the dough has to take a rest... lazy thing 





in the meantime, I'm preparíng the stuffing



enough relaxing, lazy dough!





now I have to roll the dough out





ooooooops! 





the stuffing is put on the dough





keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' !



my good friend Drumbo is taking a look



I'm cutting the roll in two pieces



noooow the best part : forming the two parts into a Zopf!



finiiiiiiiiiished



the oven's calling! 



now we'll have to wait 



while the Marzipanzopf is in the oven, I'm preparing the glazing



it's ready! now comes the finish



can't wait to try it 



aaaaawww, it's yummiii!! I wish you guys at home could try it too!



super afternoon!

hugs, your napoleon 

hello napoleon ...
again you are cooking, baking and - of course - eating!
it's good tha you are learning all about baking. here at home we only have some cookies left over from xmas.
we love you and hope you are doing well, honey. 
1000 hugs from your friends at home

Hey crew at home yep, I am doing very fine! I hope the cookies tasted as good as my Marzipanzopf

today we went to the vineyards, they are only a few minutes away from my host's home!

before we went to the vineyards, I built a little snowball in the garden



there's also a birdshouse in the garden



in the vineyards, there is the "Weingut Otto Keller", 2 times a year there is also the "Besenwirtschaft" in this Weingut, but unfortunately not now :/







behind the vineyards, there's a forest



a sliiiiide



of course I took a seat






my host's mum carried me like this, so that I don't freeze



I took a rest on a bench



finally we reached the vineyards!





I discovered the tracks of something.. maybe a rabbit?



I decided to leave my mark too!



here you can see Eisingen in the background!









the emblem of Baden-Württemberg





this once was a stance.. my host told me that she went it up when she was a child, but now it's damaged



on the way back



after that, we visited the "Alte Kelter" of Eisingen







look at this huuuge wine barrel!





because it was locked, I tried to see something through the gap





then we went home again.. where am I? 





later we'll visit a memorial of the Second World War, the Wallberg!

your napoleon

heey crew at home! today I went to work with my host's dad! he's the departement head of a shop for office supplies

it was a long day... I posed on some of the products they offer, helped to collect some in a yellow shopping basket, managed the cash box (I asked my hosts dad if i can have a 50€ note as a souvenir, but he said no  ) and answered some phone calls. was exhauuustig! working is nothing for me I was glad when we were back home and I could relax!



























feel hugged

napoleon

Heeey  today I made real handmade swabian Käsespätzle!





some salt and 2 eggs









the dough is finished when it looks like that. in german you say "er muss schwer vom löffel reißen"



for the Käsespätzle we need 3 different kinds of cheese





now the Spätzle are formed

my host's mum helped me to press it, it was veeeery hard





the Spätzle are ready to be taken out as soon as you see this white foam







of course I had to try one of the Spätzle







mhhhhhhhh... 



after that I cut the onions.. I put on glasses so that I don't have to cry 





now the cheese and the onios are put over the Spätzle





last but not least: some chive





fnished!



now it has to be in the oven for 15 minutes



it tastes soooo good!



my host told me that I can take the recipe with me maybe we can cook it once again together at home in berlin?

your napoleon

oha! napoleon ... this really looks yummy!
we also wanted to make some kaesespaetzle. but we found out that we don't have the right tools ...

Heeello everybody at home!

here are the photos of our trip to the Wallberg, a memorial of the destruction of Pforzheim in the Second World War. it was beautiful sunny winter weather, but freeeeeeezing cold! I even became blue because of the coldness 

before we went up the mountain, I enjoyed the view over Pforzheim from a bench





then we went up







finally we reached the top. in the middle there is information about the memorial






the view is amazing! in reality, it's even better












a kind of map! the Wallberg is in the middle





these trees you can see down there are the beginning of the black forest! this is why Pforzheim is called Pforzheim. it comes from "portus": the portal to the black forest







then we went down the hill again






it was a great day!

ps: today I'll bake again

your napoleon

Hey!

more snooooooooooooooooow!



perfect day to stay inside and bake we made coconut cake









now the stuffing. first we hade to make the egg white



oooookaaay, it's stiff 



now put the coconut in...



and put in the stuffing



now it has to bake for 60 minutes



mhhhh.. looks great







sooo tasty!



your napoleon

Heey!  yesterday I did something totally cool.. I took my elephant friends with me and we went to the Buddha Lounge!





we arrived at the Buddha Lounge





I sat down and tried the waterpipe



then we had a very interesting discussion!



did that guy next to me fall asleep? 





wow.. Buddha will he bring me the enlightenment?



a treasure?



ooooookay.. this is a strange elephant  it's from Salvador Dali






Lui sat down for meditation



the whole elephant crew





this was a relaaaaxing sunday!

your napoleon

hello little fellow!
what an impressive march of the giants 
it is so unfair: you cook and bake the yummiest things, and now smoke the waterpipe. and us? we are forced to eat vitamins 


as if, sour makes funny ...

It's time for a new adventure! I had lots of fun here in Eisingen, but now it's time to move on!

Lui and Drumbo said goodbye to me



Lui helped me to get into my package



they both wished me a safe journey and lots of fun at my new host



it was a little bit hard to say goodbye to Drumbo, because we became good friends in the time I was here.. but this is the toyvoyager life!



my next station will be Stuttgart! I can't wait to start my next adventure!

hugs and kisses to everybody at home,

your napoleon

have a nice trip, plushy ear! and don't sit at their railway station to long.
your friends at home ... 

Hi dad 

I am now safely arrived in Stuttgart. Mofi received me and forwarded me to the Toys. They opened very carefully my box. Now I'm just tired so i need to rest 

bye bye Napoleon 

Hi dad,

one day after arrival I was awakened very early  After a light breakfast and a banana  we went to Falera, a ski resort in Flims / Laax. We were skiing, drove with the gondola lift and have warmed up in a little wigwam (Tippie) 

Take a look at the huge snow piles (and me at the side) 

Your Napoleon 

cool napoleon!
did you ski? hopefully all your bones are still in order 

by the way: thanx a lot for your postcard. it has arrived yesterday.



bye bye - see you!
