Day 1, February 19
A snack on the second leg of the trip and some lunch provided by Lufthansa
The stopover in Frankfurt was short, only two hours, but since this is a huge airport and the gates are usually at the complete opposite part of the airport one needs that time.
We had brought rolls with ham and Tom got some Coke from a machine and we ate those before we boarded plane number 2, which was to take us to Orlando.
Our plane was a bit late as they were overbooked and had to unload luggage from people who volunteered to stay behind.
Once we were airborne and had reached cruising altitude they started serving snacks.
Tom got some beer and a small bag full of curly pretzel sticks.
I had some Diet Coke and the same curly pretzel sticks. They are not as hard as the American variety, they are very crisp and salty.
It took about an hour or so until lunch was served.
We started it with a small, but surprisingly fresh little salad
with balsamic dressing. Very light dressing and it was such a nice starter!
Our main course was the
Beef Stroganoff, served with rice and carrots and peas. We were both surprised that the beef was actually very tender and well seasoned. The rice was just that, plain white rice and the peas and carrots were a bit too soft for me, but still quite nice for airplane food.
Everyone was served a slightly warm roll,
and some "young" Camembert and some butter. (Sorry I only took one photo of the dressing and the cheese)
The roll was crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside, the butter was your usual unsalted stuff and the cheese, well, it was young - a bit too young for my liking, but I guess it was better than nothing!
With the meal we were served some drinks, Tom had another beer and I had some water.
There was still dessert!
Chocolate cake! Very moist and dense, topped with a chocolate glaze and some pistacchio nuts. Very good!
We did NOT try any more coffee or tea!
Coming up: Dinner on the transatlantic flight

There's lots more to come! 
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad I'm not the only one that takes grocery store pictures. I even have pictures of my local Aldi that I took for my blog before we left for Europe. Here you go:
but it seems like I always run into some strange folks there.
The kid was doing nothing but sitting there. We left before they did and as I was pulling out I saw the mom come out with no kid. a minute later the kid came out alone crying. Walking in a parking lot way behind the mom. I was shocked that this lady would let her kid walk in a parking lot unattended.
Can't wait to read more!!!!
