A garlic soup poem:
Note: This is not the recipe for our garlic soup, it will still not be revealed!
A guest whose name is unknown brought us this poem:
The garlic soup
In a large porcelain pot
let's make garlic soup today.
Old bread is taken first,
because with us nothing should go to waste.
Finely torn, never cut,
it is thrown in the pot.
Then boiling water is added
that softens all the crumbs.
A small handful of salt
is as important as the lard.
Fried bacon, a quarter pound
makes the garlic soup round,
and lots of garlic, don't forget
this is the very best food.
Boiled potatoes as well,
only then does the stomach rest.
Then the family stinks a little,
a bouquet of parsley will help.
Finely bitten between the teeth,
lets the same miss the stink.
Eat garlic soup, dear people,
you stay healthy
and doesn't go broke.
What is the world consuming today
that is not good for much and costs money.
So be humble with your food
then you can forget the doctor.
Who never souped garlic soup,
he's not smart, he's crazy.
(Poem by Ella Stefan, taken from the Brandenburger Sudentenland Anzeiger 3/2010)
Complaint book
There are complaints about us too.
I thought about the last one for a long time and came to the conclusion that the world needs to know about it.
Prehistory:
In the last months and years there have been a number of fires in restaurants in the Eastern Ore Mountains.
I just want to give a few examples:
Fire in the Gasthof Falkenhain (was then torn down)
2 x arson in the Knappensaal in Altenberg
Arson in the Parkhotel Lauenstein
Arson in an empty inn in Hermsdorf, etc.
or currently May 2020 the Balzhütte in Bohemian Switzerland:
Since we are very difficult or impossible to reach for the fire brigade, we attach great importance to preventive fire protection, especially since the building is made of wood, which is decades old.
If guests come to our evening events with torches to commit the descent romantically, we naturally become vigilant. In the past few years there have been some incidents because visitors, for example, stood with burning torches in the vestibules under the wood paneling or walked through the guest room ...
Event in February 2011
On a beautiful winter evening, after our legend and magic program, 6 people wanted to go back down into the valley with torches. .
In the anteroom we had a friendly chat, I pointed out that the torches should be used outside the building, as there is a great risk of fire. They were very understanding.
Since trust is good and control is better, I went to look for a while and found that they were in the vestibule with two burning torches. The distance to the wooden ceiling was very small. I said twice very firmly that they should leave the booth immediately, they didn't react. So I had to be loud then, because this gross negligence was in danger, because this is about the safety of the other people in the building and about
our existence.
Since these people wanted to have a family celebration with us in May, I made use of my house rules and canceled the appointment in writing the next day. We don't want people like that in our shack.
And then the following email came:
Dear Mr. Schindler,
Thank you for relieving us of the decision that the ceremony cannot take place at your place.
After we had a nice evening in your house and we liked the program, we were all the more appalled how you literally vented on us.
We were not only appalled, we were ashamed of you in front of our friends.
We think you were just looking for a hook to cancel the ceremony, because the next day the letter is written.
You could also have told us personally.
If you didn't have your nice son-in-law who ironed everything for YOU, you probably wouldn't have any more guests.
I am sure you will understand if we do not recommend you to others.
Not a word of apology!
What should you think of people who don't know the difference between straight ironing and straight bending!
(My son-in-law is not ironing clothes for me ...... ???.)
What would these people say if there were people in their house with burning torches?
Call the police and fire brigade immediately, report the matter, etc.!
As the saying goes in a song:
But you can do it with me ...
No!

E.something nice:
We don't want to withhold the following email from you, which we received on January 21, 2012:
Dear friend,
On Thursday we had a huge mission with the fire brigade in Dresden, because while experimenting at the TU suddenly nausea occurred and there was a strong garlic smell in the air. You may have been following on the news. Immediately felt a certain connection to your building inside ... ;-)
Original excerpt from sz-online.de:
"Strong smell in" Chemistry of the Elements "
At a course of the basic internship for inorganic chemistry in the new building of the chemical faculty (Bergstrasse 66) a student complained of nausea on Thursday afternoon. In addition, other participants in the first semester event "Chemistry of the Elements" had noticed a strong garlic odor. Such an odor can also arise when toxic arsine is released. "
Fortunately, no poison was detectable and nothing serious happened to anyone, but what do I do the next time I enter your hut and smell a garlic smell? Lay flat on the floor? Call the fire department? Or again garlic soup, croissant bread and Rechenberger? I think I'll take the delicious food and drink.
It's a bit funny what a garlic smell can do ...
With that in mind, continue with plenty of health
good garlic and see you soon!
Your regular guests from Dresden

At a city gate of Jüterbog
is written something that affects many of us:
Foster care in the family
Bill cheaters are actually not an issue for us. But a recent event prompts us to report on it.
Up to this day, in 19 years we only had 4 retirees as dodgers:
Some thought of the other that they had paid for everything. The next day she came back up the mountain, settled the bill and we laughed heartily.
Now for the latest case:
Content of an email from June 2012
Hello to the Erzgebirge,
I would like to have lunch with my group of 16-18 people on Monday ...... at around 1:30 p.m. As a tour guide, I would be happy to have a free lunch. Would it work? I look forward to your feedback.
Many greetings from the Elbe estuary
We thought it was absolutely unusual and only confirmed the registration date.
The group then showed up for the appointment, the tour guide reported at the counter, there were only 14 hikers.
You mainly only ate little things, a garlic steak for the hiking guide was also there.
The group was collected individually, but the hiking guide had disappeared! ????
The group left and the guide was still gone.
We were very astonished, no thanks at the counter, no question about the payment for food and drink.
My grandson would have said when he was little:
"Uncle just go!"
By chance we met the group driving down. The hiking guide was there, saw us, turned away and looked for something on a map.
I stopped and asked what the behavior was supposed to be, something like that is absolutely unusual with us.
As with a small child, excuses like:
It was agreed that I would get my food for free!
I was on the toilet!
There was no waitress to pay! ......
Generously as we are, we waived him the bill in the hope that not all small hiking groups consist only of tour guides ........
Since he had also given us his homepage, we then looked up who we were dealing with:
chief Executive Officer
Organization and implementation of nature trips, guided tours, seminars, training courses
Development of nature experience concepts
Writing texts, designing information materials ...
born 1964
Studies and further education:
Study of teaching at special schools
Degree in Pedagogy Adult education and extracurricular youth education with a focus on environmental education
Further education course "Municipal Environmental Protection"
By the way, there is a nice song by Bernd Stelter
“Never become a teacher”.
Listen to it once!
