Party Time in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany

Kirchheimbolanden, Germany

Kirchheimbolanden is known as a small city with fun festivals. Everything you read about this interesting place they all say it is a city of historical sights and lots of partytime at the festivals.
I like to think of my Homemade Lemon Cake/Pudding Recipe being eaten at one of the festivals.
Maybe it will be served as a dessert after a meal of tender wild boar with red cabbage and knodels at the festival called Residenzfest. It is held on the second weekend of August every year.
They have a week long Beer Festival called the Bierwoche
Learn a few songs so you can join the party during your visit.

This Postcard Box Works Well for Your Charity.

I've been looking for a recipe box that my postcard recipes will fit in without scuffing the edges when you take them in and out of the box. I found one that is big enough and the quality is delux and attractive to put on display.
This was for the Philippine typhoon in 2013. This Charity fund drive has ended and the box moved.

Please continue to donate to Doctors without borders as they do amazing work all over the world.

This recipe box continues to be a favorite.
Here is what my Recipe File Box looks like and you can see that the Zazzle postcards fit perfectly.
