My boyfried is a big German food eater and he raved about this recipe for days. In fact his ex-wife who is a German citizen loved it. The French cheese is a little hard to find but worth the effort.

This is me on the beach (at sunrise) from a southern vacation a few years ago. After loosing more than 50 pounds I am not so shy about bathing suits, beaches or pools as I used to be.
