Mein Gott im Himmel, Texans don’t just go grocery shopping – they saddle up like it’s a cattle drive. Back in Bavaria, I walked into Aldi, grabbed meine Wurst und Brezn, paid the grumpy cashier who scanned faster than a machine gun, and boom – home in zehn Minuten. Here in Texas? A trip to the supermarket looks more like expedition nach Mount Everest mit shopping cart. The Texas-Sized Supermarket Rodeo First time I stepped into a Texas H-E-B, I…
Ach du meine Güte, late-night TV has turned into a buffet with too many sausages – and two of ‘em happen to be named Jimmy. Fallon or Kimmel? It’s like asking whether you want your beer with too much foam or too much ice – either way, someone’s gonna grumble. But okay, let’s bash this Wiener properly.

Ja Himmel, only in Texas do you expect a lifted F-350 with chrome stacks pulling a smoker bigger than your aunt’s trailer home. But every now and then, something rolls onto the blacktop that makes even the most seasoned truck stop cowboy spit out his sweet tea. That’s what happened when Bruce Wilson rolled up with his imported Scania cab-over – straight outta Sweden like pickled herring at a tailgate. Texans stared, scratched their caps, and muttered: “What in the…
Ach du liebe Zeit, if one more Texan tells me “TGIF,” I’ll remind them we Bavarians invented Feierabend before America was even a twinkle. Ja, Friday afternoon hits different here in Texas… no church bells like in the Alps, just the rattle of diesel trucks leaving the jobsite and that sweet smell of mesquite smoke drifting over the neighborhood. Feierabend in Texas – Not Just Beer O’Clock Back in Bayern, when work’s done, we head to the Biergarten, order a…
