The Ezine For Every Strawberry Lover!

Issue # 27

Autumn is coming and in Munich (where I live) everyone is waiting anxiously for the famous Oktoberfest.

I was thinking of beer and strawberries, but you probably wouldn't like that stuff :-)

Instead I found a great stuffed pumpkin recipe with pineapple and strawberries.

By the way, if you ever want to visit Munich and/or the Oktoberfest, visit my new website www.inside-munich.com to get the best insider tips about Munich and its surroundings.
