Helau*

One of the benefits of the Karneval season is that the choice of Berliners (donuts to non German speakers) expands, instead of the normal jam filled & sugar dusted there are glazed, chocolate coated with sprinkles, glazed with sprinkles, ones filled with advocaat (ick) and my personal fave - the irish cream filled, nom nom nom.

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Probably for the best that I'm out of the Karneval zone from this evening, and I imagine that by my return normality will have resumed and Karneval will have packed up its enforced jollity for another year.


* the 'traditional' Karneval greeting here (usually yelled as loud as possible) and pronounced 'hell-ow'
