  11. Very nicely composed, yes. Colours and sharpness are amazing for a cell phone (yes yes I have said this before, I know ...)

    Hilda: Your Y was hijacked by the letter-eating goblins that occasionally visit my page. Don't worry. They are otherwise harmless.

    Martina: You will notice I did not venture very far into Pälzer territory. However, I managed to return unscathed and, perhaps, I might dare to go back. The restaurant in the rebuilt monastery might tempt me.

    Emincé vom Seeteufel mit weißem Spargel, Krustentierschaum
    und französischem Estragon

    Wolfsbarsch mit Pfifferlingen, Passionsfrucht,
    Basilikum und Maisschaum
