Usually, we eat in the Mensa, which is okay. But we all receive eight vouchers at the beginning of the semester to be used at the Kartause’s big restaurant- the “Kartausen Keller”. We can choose to go during lunch (which, I have heard, is a wildcard), or to go during dinner (where there is European pizza :-) ). There is a limit of 15 people for lunch and for dinner on any given day, so demand is high sometimes.
This night, I chose to get the Pizza Capricosa at the Kartausen Keller.
It is a very clean and nice restaurant. The service and the waiters are excellent. The pizza was fantastic. It had ham, bacon, grilled chicken, and (surprise!) mushrooms, amongst other things. :-D
Two things to note: The pizza was not pre-cut. I was fine with it; it was actually a fun challenge to cut it up and eat it. :-)
The other thing: there is not much sauce on the pizza. It is customary to have ketchup on your pizza here. I decided to try it out- and it went amazingly well with the pizza! :-)

Some random pics. Some person named Patience (who I do not know… or remember :-( ) had a birthday, so that’s what the snowman is all about.
And this is the day I got reminded of who redesigned the Carthusian church: Walter Hildebrand.

Top left: The St. Francis fountain is covered in snow. Snow is everywhere. Yay, snow.
Top right: the view from our window. It is an awesome view! There is also a deck here that we (luckily enough) are allowed to go on. Maybe I’ll go out more when it gets warmer.
Last three: We had some kind of a party… I can’t remember what for. Note the chocolate Austrian cookies, especially, and the Almdydler ginger ale (it has honey or something in it, and is very good! It is very well-known.)

I was very exhausted this morning, as I had just suffered through another main campus night class (which translates to 12-2:45 a.m. for me). Maybe that’s why I wanted to take another photo of the fountain, when I clearly had one already. Or maybe I was excited about the snow. Who knows. :-)
Coming up: Salzburg / Munich trip
That pizza sounds delicious, but I don't know about adding ketchup. Grandpa Drda would be so proud! He will have to hear about that custom.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading your entries and seeing all the photos you've taken (whether or not you remember what they are).
Love,

:-) Thanks. Sorry the posts have been so infrequent lately. Hopefully it will be up-to-date by Friday.
